Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the process of freezing embryos, eggs or sperm, in order to preserve them for future use.
For those undergoing IVF/ICSI, we offer the preservation of additional embryos using vitrification. Vitrification is specially indicated for preserving embryos and eggs. This offers an extra opportunity to the patients to return for additional treatment without having to undergo ovarian stimulation. Men with low sperm counts or those in need of surgical sperm retrieval, sperm can be frozen prior to IVF treatment. Sperm freezing is also available for patients undergoing chemotherapy or surgeries that involve the pelvic area. Single women or women seeking fertility preservation following a diagnosis of cancer, can vitrify their eggs to allow the possibility of having a baby using those eggs in the future.
