Vitrification is a rapid freezing technique for eggs and embryos. It involves subjecting them to a sudden drop in temperature, to negative 196 degrees Celsius, in a liquid nitrogen tank. With this freezing technique\u00a0no damage is caused to the egg or the cells\u00a0<\/strong>of the embryo, and it\u2019s a process we carry out on a daily basis at our fertility clinic in Spain in order to preserve eggs and embryos.<\/p>\n

Keeping in mind that a female\u2019s fertility declines as she ages, especially after 35-37 years old, as well as the fact that women are waiting increasingly longer to have children, egg freezing is a good alternative. Thanks to this technique we can\u00a0safely preserve eggs\u00a0<\/strong>so that women can postpone motherhood until the time is right.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, fertility preservation treatment is also effective and indicated in specific situations. A good example is a woman who has been\u00a0diagnosed with cancer<\/a>\u00a0and who will be undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment. As we know these treatments will have a detrimental impact on the quantity and quality of eggs, vitrification can help patients\u00a0preserve their fertility before receiving cancer treatment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

URE Centro Gutenberg was\u00a0the first assisted reproduction clinic\u00a0<\/strong>authorised to use this technique in Malaga in 2007. Since then, many patients have trusted in us and have made the decision to preserve their fertility for after cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

Some time ago we talked to you about egg freezing and what it involves in an\u00a0article about preservation of female fertility<\/a>. Today we are going to\u00a0share some of the questions\u00a0<\/strong>we receive from future moms when they are about to embark on this treatment process with us.<\/p>\n
