Cryopreservation in Nepal

When is Cryopreservation recommended?

Cryopreservation (Egg Freezing) is recommended in several situations. Firstly, it is recommended for individuals undergoing fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It allows for the preservation of excess embryos for future use, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy without the need for additional stimulation and egg retrieval procedures. Secondly, cryopreservation is advised for individuals facing medical treatments that may negatively affect their fertility, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Preserving eggs before starting treatment can preserve the possibility of having biological children in the future. Lastly, cryopreservation is recommended for research purposes, enabling the long-term storage of valuable biological samples like stem cells or tissues for scientific studies and medical advancements.

What are the benefits of Cryopreservation?

Cryopreservation provides several advantages, including the preservation of fertility options during medical treatments, storage of high-quality embryos for future use, flexible family planning, and increased chances of pregnancy through cryopreserved embryos' utilisation.

What is Cryopreservation procedure?

The egg freezing process (oocyte preservation) begins with ovarian stimulation, where fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The eggs are then retrieved through a minimally invasive procedure called egg retrieval. The retrieved eggs are carefully frozen using either the slow freezing or vitrification method. These frozen eggs can be stored for an extended period until they are thawed and used for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in the future, offering women the opportunity to preserve their fertility.

What are the risks and complications of Cryopreservation?

Cryopreservation is a safe procedure with minimal risks. While there is a small chance of damage during the freezing or thawing process, the skilled fertility experts and advanced technology at Indira IVF Centre in Nepal minimise these risks through precise protocols.

What is the success rate of Cryopreservation?

The success rate of cryopreservation can vary depending on the type of biological material being preserved and the specific techniques employed. Generally, cryopreservation has proven to be quite successful. For example, in the case of sperm cryopreservation, the success rates are typically high, with thawed samples retaining good motility and viability. Similarly, the cryopreservation of embryos has shown high success rates, with the ability to achieve pregnancy and live births from thawed embryos. However, it is important to note that success rates can also depend on factors such as the age and overall health of the individual at the time of cryopreservation. Consultation with a medical professional experienced in cryopreservation can provide more specific information based on individual circumstances.
