With rapid advancements in reproductive health, egg freezing has become one of the most innovative techniques, allowing women to preserve their fertility for medical or personal reasons. This technique enables women to store their eggs at a high fertility age for future use, providing a practical and optimistic solution to challenges such as delayed marriage or medical conditions.

At Janin Medical Center, we offer egg freezing services using the latest technologies to ensure the best results and help women safeguard their future fertility.

What is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing is a medical procedure in which eggs are extracted from the ovaries and frozen using vitrification (a rapid freezing technique). The eggs are preserved at an extremely low temperature, preventing any cellular damage. These eggs can later be thawed, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and implanted into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.

Why Do Women Choose Egg Freezing?

1. Personal Reasons:

• Delayed marriage: Women planning to postpone marriage can freeze their eggs at a younger age when egg quality is higher, ensuring better chances of pregnancy in the future.
• Career planning: Some women prefer to focus on their professional careers and delay motherhood for a specific period.

2. Medical Reasons:

• Cancer treatments: Women undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which may negatively impact the ovaries, can freeze their eggs before treatment.
• Ovarian disorders: Women at risk of premature ovarian failure or ovarian removal may benefit from egg freezing.
• Genetic conditions: Those with a family history of disorders affecting fertility may opt for egg freezing as a precaution.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing is ideal for women who:

1. Are between 20-40 years old (preferably before age 35 to ensure better egg quality).
2. Have normal ovarian function and produce a sufficient number of eggs.
3. Are facing delays in marriage or planning to postpone pregnancy.
4. Have medical conditions that may affect future fertility.

How is Egg Freezing Performed?

1. Initial Evaluation:

The process begins with a doctor’s consultation and comprehensive tests, including:

• Hormonal analysis (AMH) to assess ovarian reserve.
• Ultrasound imaging to evaluate the number and quality of eggs.

2. Ovarian Stimulation:

Medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

3. Egg Retrieval:

Eggs are collected using a fine needle through the vaginal wall under anesthesia.

4. Freezing Process:

The eggs are immediately frozen using vitrification, a technique that preserves their integrity.

Benefits of Egg Freezing

1. Fertility preservation: Enables women to conceive later using high-quality eggs.
2. Flexibility: Allows women to choose the right time for pregnancy.
3. Reduced anxiety about aging: Helps mitigate concerns about declining fertility with age.
4. Protection against medical conditions: Preserves fertility in cases where the ovaries may be affected.
