Cryopreservation is the process of cooling and storing cells, tissues, or organs at very low or freezing temperatures to save them for future use.
Cryopreservation is commonly used in fertility preservation where eggs, sperm, or embryos are frozen for purposes of preservation.
This process offers many benefits, including the ability to plan for future pregnancies, the assurance that sperm or eggs are viable and healthy, and the convenience of having these stored in a secure facility.
Freezing sperm or egg in a cryobank is becoming increasingly popular as a way to preserve fertility and ensure that one can have children when the time is right. Here are a few more reasons to consider it;
● With cryopreservation one can take control of their reproductive future and make informed decisions about when and how to start a family.
● For couples who have had challenges with conception, cryopreservation allows for the storage of excess embryos generated during IVF cycles, which can be used in subsequent attempts, saving time, effort, and costs associated with repeated ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval.
● Freezing of Eggs, embryos, and sperms in a cryo bank preserves them for extended periods without compromising their quality.
● In addition, the cryopreservation of eggs and sperm offers significant benefits to individuals battling chronic illnesses, such as cancer, by providing the opportunity to preserve their reproductive potential before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy which may potentially compromise their fertility.
