Egg freezing surgery
Egg freezing, which is medically known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a process that is used to preserve a woman’s reproductive potential. It is an option for those women who are not ready to start a family as yet but want to ensure their ability to get pregnant at a future time. For this, eggs are harvested from the woman’s ovaries, preserved in a frozen unfertilized state, and stored for future use. When the woman decides to have a child, the frozen egg is thawed, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and then implanted in her uterus.
