Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a medical procedure that involves removing and freezing ovarian tissue, which contains eggs, to preserve fertility. It is often used for women facing medical treatments like chemotherapy that may damage their ovaries. The tissue is carefully removed, cooled slowly, and stored at very low temperatures. When needed, the tissue can be thawed and transplanted back into the body to restore natural hormone production and fertility. This technique offers hope for women to have children in the future, especially when other fertility preservation options may not be suitable.
