Many women are turning to egg freezing to promote fertility, but what happens when it isn't an option because of special medical conditions? And, what option is there for women who want to preserve hormonal function, not just fertility? Ovarian tissue freezing can deliver these outcomes but has been considered experimental until now.
According to a new study, nearly 4 out of 10 women who undergo the procedure are able to have children later on. The procedure is believed to be superior to egg freezing as it can also reverse menopause and restore natural fertility. The next frontier is to explore the procedure's potential in delaying childbearing among healthy women, not just cancer patients.
