Embryo freezing
Cryopreservation of the embryos is a part of an IVF cycle where embryos are stored at subzero temperatures for future use. The frozen embryos can be later thawed before transferring to the uterus.Transferring of such frozen thawed embryos is called as frozen embryo transfer or FET which is the chosen option for a subset of patients.
Examples of such circumstances include
- Females with polycystic ovarian syndrome to avoid the risk of a complication called
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome ,the chances of which are more if she becomes
pregnant. - cases of endometriosis or fibroid uterus where the embryo transfer is done in down
regulated cycles - When pre implantation genetic testing on embryos is needed.
Embryo freezing is an excellent option for those couples who want to delay child
bearing for social reasons so that the age doesn’t affect their fertility potential.
Understanding Infertility Treatment
Infertility refers to the inability to conceive a child naturally, posing a challenge for both men and women to become parents. A September 2020 study by the World Health Organization revealed that approximately 48 million couples and 186 million individuals are affected by this reproductive health issue.
Causes of Infertility
Infertility often catches couples unaware until they’ve been trying to conceive naturally for six months to a year without success. There are various factors contributing to both male and female infertility.
Common causes include
- Ageing (for females, typically after 35, and for males, around 40 or older)
- Unhealthy lifestyle habits including smoking, excessive drinking, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and high stress levels
- Environmental and occupational factors such as prolonged exposure to extreme heat, chemicals, and pollution
- Medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and certain cancers
- Reproductive health issues such as low sperm count, diminished ovarian reserve, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and blockages or damage to the reproductive tubes.
