Personalized solutions for fertility preservation

Fertility preservation in gynecological cancer

Fertility preservation is a vital option for women undergoing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which may impact reproductive health. At our clinic, we offer personalized fertility preservation solutions designed to help women maintain their ability to conceive in the future.

How Do Cancer Treatments Affect Fertility?

  • Chemotherapy: Certain drugs can damage the ovaries, reducing the quantity and quality of eggs.
  • Radiotherapy: Exposure to radiation in the pelvic area can harm the ovaries and uterus.
  • Surgical Procedures: In some cases, surgery may involve the removal of the ovaries or uterus, leading to infertility.

Fertility Preservation Options

  • 1. Egg Freezing:

      • Involves collecting and freezing eggs before cancer treatment begins.
      • An ideal option for women without a partner or those who prefer not to fertilize their eggs immediately.

  • 2. Embryo Freezing:

      • Eggs are collected, fertilized with sperm (from a partner or donor), and the embryos are frozen for future use.
      • Suitable for women with a stable partner who plan to start a family later.

  • 3. Ovarian Tissue Freezing:

      • Involves collecting and freezing a portion of ovarian tissue.
      • Particularly beneficial for young patients or when time before treatment is limited.

  • 4. Ovarian Suppression with Medication:

      • The use of medications (e.g., GnRH agonists) during chemotherapy can reduce ovarian damage and preserve fertility.

The Fertility Preservation Process

  1. Initial Assessment:
    • A detailed evaluation of the patient’s health and a discussion about fertility preservation options.
  2. Ovarian Stimulation:
    • Hormonal therapy to stimulate the growth of multiple follicles in the ovaries.
  3. Egg Retrieval and Processing:
    • Collection of eggs through a minimally invasive procedure.
    • Freezing of eggs or embryos using vitrification (rapid freezing) technology.
  4. Storage:
    • Frozen eggs, embryos, or tissue are stored in specialized liquid nitrogen tanks until needed.

Benefits of Fertility Preservation

  • Ensures the possibility of conception in the future, even after aggressive cancer treatments.
  • Provides psychological reassurance, giving patients control over their reproductive health.
  • Performed safely without delaying the start of cancer treatment.
