Fertility preservation is a medical approach that allows individuals to save their reproductive cells for future use. It is beneficial for those undergoing medical treatments that may affect fertility, such as cancer therapy, or individuals who wish to delay parenthood. At New World Fertility, we provide advanced fertility preservation solutions tailored to your needs.
Fertility Preservation Methods
Several techniques help preserve fertility, depending on individual circumstances.
1. Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)
Ideal for women who want to delay childbearing or are undergoing medical treatments.
The process involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving mature eggs, and freezing them for future use.
2. Embryo Freezing
Suitable for couples undergoing IVF who want to store embryos for later pregnancy.
Embryos are created using sperm and eggs, then cryopreserved for future implantation.
3. Sperm Freezing
Men can preserve their sperm before undergoing medical treatments that may impact fertility.
The sperm is frozen using liquid nitrogen and stored safely for later use.
4. Ovarian Tissue Freezing
An option for women who cannot undergo standard egg-retrieval procedures.
A portion of ovarian tissue is surgically removed, frozen, and re-implanted when needed.
5. Testicular Tissue Freezing
A technique mainly for prepubescent boys or men with severe fertility issues.
Testicular tissue is collected and stored for future sperm extraction.
Fertility Preservation in Cancer Patients
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can impact fertility. New World Fertility offers specialized fertility preservation options for cancer patients:
Egg and embryo freezing before treatment.
Ovarian suppression therapy to protect ovarian function.
Sperm and testicular tissue freezing for male cancer patients.
Fertility Preservation Surgery
Some individuals may require surgical procedures for fertility preservation.
Ovarian Transposition (Oophoropexy): Protects the ovaries from radiation exposure.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval: Methods like TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) help extract sperm from the testes.
Fertility Preservation Procedure
Initial Consultation: A fertility specialist evaluates the patient’s medical history and fertility goals.
Ovarian Stimulation / Sperm Collection: Hormonal treatment stimulates egg production, while men provide sperm samples.
Retrieval & Freezing: Eggs, sperm, or embryos are collected and frozen using advanced cryopreservation techniques.
Storage & Future Use: The preserved cells remain viable for years until the patient decides to conceive.
Fertility Preservation Cost
The cost of fertility preservation depends on several factors:
The method chosen (egg freezing, embryo freezing, etc.).
Medication and hormone stimulation expenses.
Storage duration and maintenance fees.
New World Fertility offers cost-effective and flexible payment options to support your reproductive goals.
How to Preserve Fertility Naturally
While medical interventions are effective, lifestyle choices also play a crucial role in fertility preservation:
Maintain a Balanced Diet: Foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and folic acid support reproductive health.
Exercise Regularly: Moderate physical activity enhances hormonal balance and overall fertility.
Manage Stress: High stress levels can negatively impact fertility; mindfulness and relaxation techniques help.
Avoid Harmful Substances: Smoking, excessive alcohol, and processed foods can reduce fertility potential.
