Onco-fertility
Onco-fertility is a term related to the medical field that links oncology with reproductive health. People who suffer from cancer involve effective radiation treatments, which destroy their capability to have children. Both men and women cancer patients have this problem. In women, the cancer therapies will lead to ovarian damage, and for men, it causes damage to the testes that is essential for sperm production and testosterone secretion. Due to the advancement in the medical field, there is an increase in the number of cancer survivors, hence onco-fertility treatment becomes more familiar. The most common onco-fertility treatment among women cancer patients is social egg freezing.
Social Egg Freezing:
Social egg freezing is the process of freezing mature eggs for a later fertilization process. Only mature eggs can be fertilized with sperm to form a pregnancy. To freeze mature eggs vitrification method is used, this method has high success rates compared to other methods. The eggs are frozen using liquid nitrogen within minutes. Eggs are extracted from the vagina, this involves small risks such as slight bleeding. social freezing methods take one day, you will be back to normal the following day.

It enhances your chances of having biological offspring. Biological factors and age affect such decisions. So, couples today are smart enough to make such decisions early on.
Fertility preservation in men is an important step towards fatherhood. When the male is undergoing some kind of treatment like chemotherapy, preservation may be the only possibility. While undergoing chemotherapy, the rays often hit the germ cells, along with cancer cells. The germ cells transform into sperms in the long run. Thus, the germ cells may be rendered inactive. This can lead to future problems. This is only one of the scenarios here.

It is the enhancement of the chances to increase fertility for women in future. The eggs are secured from your ovaries and frozen without fertilization. A frozen egg can be thawed later and planted in the uterus for fertilization later. If you are undergoing harsh medical treatments or have an underlying illness, you may consider egg freezing.
Embryo cryopreservation is another process, in which you can freeze your leftover embryos after a round of in vitro fertilization. Many patients who fail to get pregnant through IVF, can opt for such treatment, or return later for a second one.
