Fertility preservation involves techniques to save or store eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. Options include:
- Egg Freezing: Women may choose to freeze their eggs if they wish to delay pregnancy for personal, medical, or career reasons.
- Sperm Banking: Men may store sperm prior to medical treatments (e.g., chemotherapy) that could affect fertility.
- Embryo Freezing: Couples undergoing IVF may choose to freeze embryos for future use.
Individuals facing potential fertility threats due to health conditions, age, or personal circumstances should consider these options.
