Oocyte Cryopreservation
Who Needs Egg (oocyte) Freezing?
Oocyte Cryopreservation may be thought-about for a range of reasons:
- Women with cancer requiring therapy and/or girdle irradiation that will have an effect on fertility.
- Surgery that will cause harm to the ovaries.
- Risk of premature ovarian failure due to body abnormalities (e.g. Turner syndrome, fragile X syndrome), or case history of early change of life.
- Ovarian sickness with risk of injury to the ovaries.
- Genetic mutations requiring removing the ovaries.
- Fertility preservation for social or personal reasons to delay childbearing.
