Human Egg Freezing
Manage episode 280427078 series 2578255
Why would someone elect to have their eggs frozen? The main reason is to store these delicate cells so that they can be used in the future. The technique of freezing and storing sperm cells and embryos has been undertaken for many years. However, the use of frozen eggs for infertility treatment is a relatively new technique. Eggs do not freeze as well as embryos, and in fact, fertilisation of a frozen egg is less likely to result in pregnancy. In this podcast, I will explore the processes involved in freezing eggs, namely the use of cryoprotectant and vitrification, and will discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of undergoing such treatment.
