Fertility Preservation at Best Fertility Clinic in Abu Dhabi, IVI Middle East fertility Clinic How can a woman’s fertility be safeguarded before cancer treatment at the best fertility clinic in Abu Dhabi? At IVI, Fertility Preservation is offered to patients that are going to undergo cancer treatment. Naturally, it all depends on the nature of the diagnosed illness and the specifics of the prescribed treatment, but broadly speaking there are several options available. Factors to take into account include the site of the cancer, type of treatment, time available and the age of the patient. In many cases, pregnancy after radiation therapy is possible and the chances of getting pregnant after chemotherapy can be good. It could all depend on taking the preparatory steps that are now available through assisted reproduction techniques. We at IVI have a wealth of experience in helping women who are about to undergo cancer treatment to safeguard their fertility for the future. Here are some of the options: Vitrification of oocytes This could be described as a part of the better-knownIVF fertility treatment in Abu Dhabi, but with a time delay built in. It follows the same process as IVF as far as ovarian stimulation and gathering of oocytes is concerned. At this point, however, the mature eggs are cryopreserved so that they can be used at a later date, with the same prognosis as at the point when they were vitrified. Due to the fact that ice crystals do not form, this technique results in high oocyte survival, meaning there is a reasonable chance of success. In this way, IVF after cancer treatment can fulfil your hopes of parenthood in spite of the setback of serious illness.
Vitrification of oocytes is the most commonly recommended treatment for patients who are at risk of losing their ovarian function. As well as women who have been diagnosed with cancer and are going to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment, these include women with autoimmune diseases which require chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and for those who are at risk of needing successive ovarian surgery procedures, for example in the treatment of endometriosis. Freezing of the ovarian cortex A different cryopreservation technique is the freezing of the ovarian cortex. This technique can enable ovarian function to be restored so that spontaneous pregnancy might be achieved. In addition, since the patient would have normal levels of hormones, early menopause with its secondary effects such as osteoporosis, hot flushes and cardiovascular problems can be avoided. This technique is the method of choice when treating pre-pubescent girls, although it is also used for adult cancer patients who are due to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy, among other circumstances. The treatment can be compatible with the vitrification of oocytes if the circumstances allow adequate time for carrying out both techniques, but for patients who need to start chemotherapy immediately or when ovarian stimulation is inadvisable, it can be used on its own. In vitro maturation of oocytes For some patients, such as those with hormone-dependent tumours, it is necessary to avoid ovarian stimulation. In these circumstances, an alternative can be in vitro maturation of oocytes, known as IVM. In this method, immature oocytes are recovered from small antral follicles either without stimulation or with only minimal stimulation. They are then cultivated in a suitable medium until they reach maturity.
This way ovarian stimulation is avoided, making IVM a potential alternative to a standard IVF cycle. As such, it represents another option for pregnancy after radiation therapy.
