Though it’s not the most frequent genital cancer, ovarian cancer often affects women who are perimenopausal, but during the past ten years, the prevalence of the disease has increased among women in their reproductive and teenage years.
An ovarian cancer diagnosis has a significant psychological impact on the affected woman, leaving her mostly in a state of shock, with uncertainty about the future and sadness brought on by the illness. It is crucial to handle such patients with counseling and to provide them with a fertility choice based on a variety of factors, such as:
- Age of the patient,
- PCOD or endometriosis, or any other prior ovarian procedures
- Stage of the illness
- Type of the tumor
- Degree of differentiation of the disease
Egg freezing is a tried-and-true technique for keeping eggs that may be recovered before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy if the problem is identified early on. On the other side, modern medicine has developed methods to change germ cells into eggs, which are primal, fundamental things. IVF becomes necessary in this situation because once the sickness has been cured, the female can use the eggs obtained through these therapies.
Medical Research Centre states that “in view of early diagnosis, unilateral ovarian sparing surgery can be performed thereby improving the reproductive potential. Cryo-preserving the oocytes is the second choice that can be given to a patient, while a married patient may also choose to preserve the embryo. The optimal time to arrange oocyte and embryo storage is while a patient is undergoing counseling for additional treatment of the original illness (ovarian cancer), as this will allow the eggs to be preserved for future use. Oocyte storage and embryo storage require a particular degree of stimulation, requiring at least a period of two to three weeks.
She said, “Women with a history of infertility in their families are also encouraged to experimentally with a fertility expert in order to think about the possibility of fertility preservation. The eggs can be utilized in surrogacy to enable younger women with the condition fulfill their reproductive aspirations, giving them the chance to show their fertility on their own or in situations where they must have a hysterectomy.
