Cancer patients can bear child
Cancer survivors can experience parenthood if they choose the method of fertility preservation.
About 70% cancer patients might become victims of infertility due to heavy cancer treatment in the absence of counselling about fertility preservation by doctors.
To address the issue, a Fertility Society, with its 1,900 members across 19 states, has formed a special interest group to spread awareness about fertility preservation. This is done through seminars titled 'fertility preservation navigators'.
In the city on Sunday, specialists said that by freezing the egg, ovary, sperm and even embryo of a cancer patient, reproductive health can be restored and pregnancy possible, after the patient is free of cancer.
"For girls under 15 years of age, there is ovary freezing. Girls above 15 years of age without a partner can get their eggs frozen after cancer detection. If there is a partner, then embryo freezing is done in which the embryo is put back into the mother after she is cancer-free," said a Dr.
"The process will cost at least Rs 3 lakh for a procedure excluding the recurrent charge of maintenance of the frozen tissue," added the Dr.
