Fertility Preservation: Empowering Future Parenthood

In today's fast-paced urban lifestyle, many couples delay starting a family due to career priorities. However, time can affect fertility. Luckily, advances in medical science offer fertility preservation options, allowing young individuals to safeguard their future ability to have children.

Fertility Preservation and Battling Cancer

Cancer treatments, such as radiation and chemotherapy, often harm fertility. Patients undergoing therapy for leukemia, lymphomas, sarcomas, and other conditions face reduced fertility or early ovarian failure. Our Medical Director, Dr. Durga G Rao, leads the way in Fertility Preservation Techniques. Our program includes Oocyte, Sperm, and Embryo Vitrification, Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation, and In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes.

Fertility Preservation for Women

Cancer affects 4% of women under 45, with breast and cervical cancers being common. While life-saving treatments like chemotherapy and surgery have improved survival, they can harm fertility. Fertility preservation empowers women to safeguard their fertility before treatment, addressing potential infertility.

Recommended for women before cancer treatment, medical therapies, ovarian surgery, and in cases of premature ovarian aging.

Fertility Preservation for Men

Male cancer survivors can preserve fertility through semen cryopreservation, freezing sperm before treatments. Testicular tissue cryopreservation offers another option, allowing sperm extraction for embryo creation when combined with eggs. Early consultation is crucial for preserving fertility.

Recommended for men before cancer treatment, medical therapies, testicular surgery, and exposure to hazards.

Fertility Preservation Options

Cryobiology advances offer diverse fertility preservation options:

  • Oocyte Vitrification: Freezing eggs for future use in natural pregnancies, preserving genetic material.
  • Embryo Cryo Preservation: Couples can freeze embryos from a woman's eggs and her partner's sperm, planning a family on their terms.
  • Ovarian Transplantation: Cryopreserving a piece of ovarian tissue for future transplantation, a promising technique.
  • Semen Freezing: Collecting semen, mixing it with a protective solution, and storing it in liquid nitrogen.

Associated Treatment: In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes

FAQ

Fertility preservation refers to various medical techniques and procedures that are used to protect a person's ability to have biological children in the future. This is especially important for those who are facing treatments or conditions that can impact their fertility.

People who might consider fertility preservation include individuals undergoing cancer treatments, transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy, those with certain medical conditions, or people who delay childbearing due to personal or career choices.

Common methods include sperm cryopreservation for men, egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) for women, and ovarian tissue freezing. In some cases, embryo freezing is also an option.

Sperm cryopreservation involves collecting and freezing sperm for later use. The sperm is typically collected through masturbation, but surgical extraction may be necessary in certain cases.

Egg freezing involves stimulating the ovaries with hormones, retrieving mature eggs, and then freezing them for future use. It's a popular choice for women who want to preserve their fertility.

Depending on the condition, it may still be possible to preserve your fertility. Consult with a fertility specialist to discuss your options.

No, it is not guaranteed, but it significantly increases the chances of having biological children in the future. Success rates vary depending on the method used, individual factors, and the age of the patient at the time of preservation.

The procedures themselves are generally safe, but there can be some side effects or risks associated with the hormone medications used to stimulate egg or sperm production. Consult with your healthcare provider for a full understanding of potential risks.

Storage times can vary by location and regulations. In many places, these specimens can be stored for several years, sometimes even decades.

Costs can vary widely, depending on the method, location, and other factors. It's important to budget for not only the initial procedures but also ongoing storage fees.
