Cryopreservation in Navi Mumbai by Dr. Priya Khamatkar

What is Cryopreservation?

Cryopreservation is a technique used to preserve biological material at extremely low temperatures, typically below -130°C, halting all biological activity and preserving the specimen in a suspended state.

What are the steps of Cryopreservation?

Preparation: Before cryopreservation, the biological material (embryos, eggs, or sperm) undergoes careful preparation, including assessment of quality and viability.
Cryoprotectant Addition: A cryoprotectant solution is used to protect cells from damage during freezing. This solution prevents ice crystal formation, which can harm cellular structures.
Freezing: The prepared material is gradually cooled to very low temperatures. Controlled freezing prevents cellular damage and ensures viability post-thaw.
Storage: Once frozen, the specimens are stored in cryogenic tanks filled with liquid nitrogen, maintaining them at ultra-low temperatures until needed.
Thawing and Usage: When required, the stored material is thawed under controlled conditions. Thawed embryos, eggs, or sperm can then be used in IVF procedures for conception.

Why Should One Consider Cryopreservation in IVF?

Preserving Fertility:

Cryopreservation allows individuals to preserve their fertility potential, especially important for those undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy that may affect fertility.

Optimizing IVF Success:

By freezing and storing multiple embryos or eggs, IVF success rates can improve. Cryopreserved embryos offer flexibility in timing for embryo transfer, allowing for optimal conditions in the uterus.

Minimizing Risks:

Cryopreservation reduces the need for multiple ovarian stimulation cycles, lowering the risks associated with hormonal treatments and egg retrieval procedures.

Family Planning:

Cryopreserved embryos or eggs offer options for family planning, allowing individuals to delay parenthood until they are ready or to have children later in life.
