What is ovary freezing for fertility preservation?

Fertility Authority, Your Most Trusted Source Ask The Experts What is ovary freezing for fertility preservation? Dr. Sherman Silber, Infertility Center of St. Louis: So, we can freeze the ovary tissue, because all of the eggs, the real heart of the ovary, are located in that outer little thin shell, which we call the cortex. What we find is it’s so thin we can remove it and we can transplant it just like a skin graft and it takes and you have a new ovary. We can freeze it easily, because it’s thin enough. Again, you can freeze it just as though it were a skin graft And we developed a better method of freezing it now, which is vitrification. And the vitrification will allow us to freeze that whole ovary, basically, with no loss of eggs whatsoever. So, it’s a preserved perfect ovary. So, we can use this for cancer patients. They’re going to have their ovary destroyed anyway with their treatment, so if we take out one ovary first; I’ll tell you why in a second. We leave the other ovary in. And we can freeze it beautifully with no damage as tissue. And then when they’re cured of their cancer or they are ready to have children, we can unfreeze, we can thaw that tissue and place it right back on the old ovary that’s been killed that we left in there; that’s been killed by the chemotherapy, and we can place it back on there like a skin graft and it works. It’s just amazing. She’s got a brand-new ovary. Ask The Experts What is ovary freezing for fertility preservation?

But they said that because their girlfriends, at age 35 were worried about their biological clock. But they’ve got 17- and 20-year-old ovaries in the freezer and so we transplant it back and it’s a young ovary. So, therefore, this is also good way of preserving fertility for young women who need to put off childbearing. Fertility Authority, Your Most Trusted Source Book a consultation. Call: 888-236-2882
