Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is an advanced medical technique that allows women to preserve their fertility for the future. This method is particularly beneficial for women who, for various reasons, are unable to become pregnant now but wish to have a child in the future.

Dr. Pegah Keramati, a prominent specialist in obstetrics and gynecology in Shiraz, offers egg freezing consultations to help women make informed decisions about their fertility. During consultation sessions, Dr. Keramati reviews the overall health status, medical history, and personal reasons of the patients to recommend the best course of action.

Steps of Egg Freezing

  1. Initial Consultation: In this stage, Dr. Pegah Keramati assesses your health status and fertility goals, providing necessary information about the egg freezing process.
  2. Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce more mature eggs.
  3. Egg Retrieval: The eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and transferred to the laboratory.
  4. Egg Freezing: The eggs are frozen using rapid freezing methods (vitrification) and stored under specific conditions for future use.

Benefits of Egg Freezing

  1. Preservation of Fertility: Egg freezing allows women to preserve their fertility and opt for pregnancy at a more suitable time.
  2. Freedom in Planning: Women can pursue their career and educational plans with peace of mind and postpone pregnancy to a more convenient time.
  3. Reduction of Age-Related Concerns: As age increases, the quality and quantity of eggs decrease. Egg freezing allows preserving higher quality eggs for future use.
