What is embryo freezing, and why is it done?
Embryo freezing, or cryopreservation, is a process where embryos from IVF are preserved at very low temperatures for future use. It's done to preserve fertility and increase the chances of pregnancy later on.
How does embryo freezing work?
Embryos are carefully cooled using a process called vitrification, which prevents ice crystal formation. This preserves their viability until they are thawed for transfer.
Who should consider embryo freezing?
Individuals undergoing IVF who have surplus embryos or who want to preserve fertility due to medical reasons like cancer treatment often consider embryo freezing.
What are the success rates of embryo freezing?
Success rates vary but depend largely on the quality of embryos frozen and the woman's age at freezing. Dr. Karunakar Marikinti uses advanced techniques to optimize success rates in his practice.
Are there risks or side effects associated with embryo freezing?
The process itself is safe, but some embryos may not survive freezing and thawing. Dr. Karunakar Marikinti monitors and minimizes risks during the procedure.
How long can embryos be safely frozen?
Embryos can be stored indefinitely, although laws and regulations may vary by country. Dr. Karunakar Marikinti's clinic ensures embryos are stored securely and according to best practices.
What happens if I don't use my frozen embryos?
Options include continued storage, donation to others, or disposal according to ethical guidelines. Dr. Karunakar Marikinti provides counseling on these options.
Is embryo freezing covered by insurance?
Coverage varies widely. Dr. Karunakar Marikinti's team assists patients in navigating insurance coverage and financing options for embryo freezing and related procedures.
Embryo freezing, also known as cryopreservation, is a process that allows embryos to be safely stored for future use. This advanced technique offers flexibility and hope to individuals and couples planning to grow their families.
