Preserving fertility for the future- Freezing eggs

Dr Ashwini Anil Kumar Sirapanasetty
Many women want to have children someday. But what if you haven’t found the right partner, need more time to establish your career, want to accomplish other life goals, want to establish financial security or are facing a medical procedure that could impact your fertility?
Freezing your eggs is an option that may help you realize your dream of motherhood when you’re ready. Having your eggs extracted and stored for future use (called cryopreservation) may give you the best chance of conceiving later on, especially if you’re facing a medical treatment — such as chemotherapy, treatment of severe endometriosis or gender affirming surgery — or a health condition such as an autoimmune disease that can affect fertility.
