Fertility Preservation
Fertility preservation is a medical process that allows individuals to protect their fertility potential for future family planning. It involves the freezing and storage of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) or embryos. These preserved cells can be used later when the individual is ready to start a family.
Who Can Benefit from Fertility Preservation?
Cancer Patients: Individuals undergoing cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, which can negatively impact fertility.
Gender Transition: Transgender individuals who wish to preserve their fertility before transitioning.
Delayed Family Planning: Those who want to delay family planning but wish to secure their fertility for later in life.
Medical Conditions: People with medical conditions or surgeries that may affect fertility.
Options for Women: Egg Freezing
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a common method for women. The procedure involves:
Ovarian Stimulation: Fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries.
Cryopreservation: The eggs are frozen and stored for future use.
Options for Men: Sperm Freezing
Sperm freezing is a straightforward process for men:
Sperm Collection: A semen sample is collected.
Sperm Processing: The sample is processed, frozen, and stored for later use.
Options for Couples: Embryo Freezing
For couples seeking fertility preservation:
IVF Procedure: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is performed to create embryos.
Embryo Cryopreservation: Healthy embryos are frozen and stored.

Generally, it doesn’t interfere with ongoing treatments. However, discuss this with your healthcare team.
4. Is the procedure invasive or painful?
Egg and sperm freezing are minimally invasive and typically not painful.
5. What are the costs associated with fertility preservation?
Costs vary but are often worth the investment for the peace of mind and future family planning possibilities.

What is IVF Treatment (In Vitro Fertilization)?
IVF Treatment (In Vitro Fertilization), commonly known as ‘test-tube baby’, is a procedure in which the egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body. The woman’s eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilized in a fluid medium in the laboratory. Once fertilized, the fertilized egg is cultured for three to five days and then transferred to the woman’s uterus, in order to establish pregnancy. This IVF procedure is undertaken in IVF centers by IVF doctors qualified to administer this process.
Who is IVF Treatment (In Vitro Fertilization) suitable for?
IVF Treatment is advised for women who have problems with their fallopian tubes, due to which normal conception is not possible. The fallopian tubes may be damaged, blocked or in some cases, absent. It is also used in cases of male infertility, due to low sperm count or sperm quality. In such situations, it is used along with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
