Scientific evolution in our days enable all women to stop the time with fertility maintenance methods. The fast pace of everyday routine and, in general, contemporary lifestyle, enable women to create their family at a later time frame, whenever they are ready and whenever they wish to. Just until a few years ago, fertility maintenance methods mostly involved women with cancer. Yet , nowadays, this is not the only reason that can lead to the choice of fertility maintenance or cryopreservation. Cryopreservation ( of all kinds) is in our days one of the biggest accomplishments in the sector of IVF.
The reasons that can lead a woman (or a man)to cryopreservation, vary. (for example social, personal, professional, emotional, etc.) What is important, here, though, is that science is present and ready to assist any man or women who consciously choose this in order to create a family!
There is a variety of methods of fertility maintenance:
- Cryopreservation of ova ( for women)
- Cryopreservation of embryos (for women)
- Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue (for women)
- Sperm cryopreservation (for men)
- Cryopreservation of testicle tissue (for men)
