What is fertility preservation and what to do to about it?
Fertility preservation is the process of saving your or eggs, sperms, or reproductive tissue so that it be can be used later for having biological children.
There are various fertility-preserving options available these days like:
1. Sperm cryopreservation – Semen is frozen and stored for future use in a process called cryopreservation.
2. Embryo cryopreservation– The most common and successful option for preserving female’s fertility. Eggs are removed from the ovaries followed by fertilization with sperm from her partner in the lab by a process called In Vitro Fertilization. The resulting embryos are frozen and stored for future use.
3. Oocyte cryopreservation – It is similar to embryo cryopreservation, except that unfertilized eggs are frozen and stored.
4. Ovarian transposition – Minor surgery is done to move the ovaries from the area that will receive radiation to an area that will not receive radiation.
