Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) is a method used to preserve a woman's fertility by extracting and freezing her eggs for future use. Preparation: Before the procedure, patients may need to attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery and to arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable. Procedure: Performed under general or local anaesthesia, the doctor inserts a needle through the vaginal wall into the ovaries to collect mature eggs. The procedure typically lasts between 15 to 20 minutes. Recovery: Post-procedure, patients may experience mild cramping, bloating, or spotting. It's advisable to rest for 1 to 2 days and avoid vigorous exercise. Full recovery varies per individual but generally occurs within a week.
