Cancer Fertility Preservation

What is Cancer Fertility Preservation?

The collecting and storage of reproductive cells (eggs, sperm, or embryos) for later use is known as cancer fertility preservation. The goal is to safeguard cancer patients' ability to conceive as their cancer therapy may increase their chance of infertility. Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are frequently associated with negative effects on fertility and consequently, it is imperative to take proactive measures to protect your reproductive options.

Who needs it?

Individuals who might want to pursue assisted reproductive procedures in the future might receive continuity of care by choosing a Mother and Child Hospital like Surya Hospital for fertility preservation. Fertility preservation is advantageous for both men and women with cancer. It is advised for:

• Women: If a woman with cancer wants to have children in the future but has not yet reached menopause, she should think about fertility preservation. Noteworthy is the fact that several cancer therapies, like high-dose Chemotherapy, have a big effect on fertility.
• Men: Cancer patients who want to maintain their fertility should think about fertility preservation. Radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy are some treatments that might harm sperm quality and production.

What are the methods for Cancer fertility preservation?

At Surya Hospitals, we provide several fertility preservation techniques that are suited to your particular requirements:

• Egg Freezing: The process of egg freezing (also known as oocyte cryopreservation) entails taking mature eggs out of the ovaries and freezing them. When you are ready to get pregnant, the frozen eggs can be thawed, fertilised with sperm, and transported to the uterus.
• Embryo Freezing (Embryo Cryopreservation): For single people or couples who are in a committed relationship, this technique entails fertilising eggs with sperm in a lab to develop embryos. After that, the embryos are frozen and kept until you're prepared to have children.
• Sperm Freezing: Men can maintain their fertility by delivering a sample of semen, which is then frozen and kept in storage. This process is known as sperm freezing (or sperm cryopreservation). Future in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments can employ the stored sperm.
