Abstract

Human sperm cryopreservation has become widely accepted in our society. It has been proven to be a very successful method to keep the hope of a family alive for many men. In early 1940s cattle breeders started cryopreserving bull semen. The cryopreservation of human semen started in 1950s with more refined techniques designed for human sperm. Since then continuous ongoing research has developed more sophisticated techniques for human semen cryopreservation. This chapter is an introduction to the human sperm cryopreservation, the latest techniques of the sperm cryopreservation and its significance in assisted reproductive techniques.
