Sperm preservation by electroejaculation before anticancer therapy

M Skott et al. Scand J Urol. 2018 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Background: This report presents a case where electroejaculation (EEJ) was used for semen cryopreservation (SCP), prior to gonadotoxic anti-cancer treatment in a 14-year old boy diagnosed with Hodgkins disease.

Method: Two sessions of EEJ were performed with an interval of 48 hours.

Results: No complications were seen and the procedures resulted in nine frozen straws of motile spermatozoa.

Conclusion: EEJ is a safe and feasible procedure for SCP in an adolescent cancer patient who is unable to masturbate or use penile vibratory stimulation (PVS).

Keywords: Sperm preservation; adolescent; cancer; electroejaculation.
