When an individual is concerned about their future fertility, a fertility preservation procedure can actively help them preserve their chances of reproducing in the future.
The freezing of embryos, eggs, ovarian tissue, sperm, or testicular tissue is done for future reproduction. Age, health issues, cancer therapy, and transgender care are all reasons to consider this procedure.
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is the procedure of extracting, freezing, and storing a woman’s eggs (oocytes) to preserve reproductive potential in women of reproductive age.
Over the years, cryopreservation of oocytes has advanced significantly, and it is no longer considered experimental. With better egg survival rates, fertilization rates, and live birth rates, women now have more autonomy than they did five years ago. This is in terms of gamete survival, fertilization, and live births.
