Doctor's Talk: Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour on Zee Bharat News
Why Age Matters in Egg Freezing!
Age
has an important impact and between mid 40s to late 40s the fertility
is almost non-equal. Some patients before 30 years For example, if they
have been diagnosed with cancer or endometriosis, they come in between
25 to 30 years to get their egg freezing done.
Understanding Hormonal Injections in Egg Freezing
The
injections of hormones take every hours because its effect is very
temporary, there is no long lasting side effect. So, this medical point
of view is the biggest concern. The second concern is that will the
freezing cause damage to the egg? Will there be any genetic problem in
the egg freezing? So, we want to clarify the myth of this that if you
take out the egg after freezing, it literally looks like it has been
bathed.
How Does Age Affect Egg Quality?
With age, the
quality of the eggs changes a lot. This is called a biological clock of
a woman. from the age of 30 to 35, the best age is for you to do egg
freezing. After 35 years, the number and quantity of eggs decrease.
Debunking Myths About Egg Freezing
I
want to clarify all these myths that this is not at all true. If you
freeze 10 or 12 eggs, then you will not be able to become a mother in
the future. you will not be able to become a mother naturally and your
eggs will be finished.
How Many Eggs Do You Need for Pregnancy?
10
to 15 is considered an ideal number that you have an expectation of
success in that. If you get it done at the age of 30, then once you get
it done, you will get 10 to 12 to 14 eggs. But if you do it after 40 or
after that, then you may have to repeat the whole process 2 to 3 times
and whether you get 15 eggs or not is doubtful.
The Biological Clock and Egg Freezing
As
time goes by, the biological clock, according to that, they may have
problems in getting pregnant later. And you know, our inner desire is,
the desire of every cell of our body is that we want our own egg, we
want our own child.
Family Support in Egg Freezing Decisions
Sometimes
you get support from the family. Sometimes you don't get support. You
have to bear the financial patient yourself. But it is not guaranteed
that you will get pregnant from those eggs. And if you get pregnant at
an older age, diabetes, high blood pressure, abruption, bleeding in
pregnancy, you may have more complications.
Understanding the Costs of Egg Freezing
So,
if we give them the full amount, then in one cycle, it can be somewhere
between 1.5 to 1.7 lakhs. And in this, freezing will initially be
included, but when the eggs are frozen for a longer duration, then the
freezing charges will depend on how many eggs we have, how many leaves
we have So that can vary from center to center between 30,000 to 50,000
and annual charge that is to be incurred.
