Assisted Reproductive Technology for Women Seeking Fertility Preservation
Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Procreation and parenthood has always been central to human culture and society. There are many who experience situations that affect their future pregnancy adversely. These range from voluntary choice to delay conception till a later date or diseases and treatments that affect future fertility. Earlier there were not too many options for fertility preserving other than planning pregnancy early or cryopreserving sperm. With the advent of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) new tools for fertility conservation have emerged; ovarian cortex, oocyte or embryo cryopreservation. Surgical and pharmacotherapeutic advancements have helped in improving the scope of fertility preservation in oncology.
