Recently, women's priorities have changed. While building a career and securing the future, there is an increasing tendency to delay the decision to marry and have children. In this situation, egg storage (egg freezing) is proving to be a boon for women.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Dr. According to Neha Humagai, egg storage has provided women with an opportunity to give birth to a healthy baby at an appropriate time.

If this technology can be used and public awareness can be increased in Nepal, many women will be able to benefit from it. Why is

dr. According to Humagai, 25 to 30 years of age is the ideal time for women to have children. After 30 years, the number and quality of eggs gradually decreases and after 35 years, this process accelerates . Conceiving at a late age increases the risk of miscarriage, a baby's heartbeat, or genetic problems such as Down syndrome. In this case, if the eggs are stored in time, the chances of having a healthy baby are high.

Women who need to be treated for diseases such as cancer can also store eggs before treatment. The quality of men's semen also declines with age, but its effect is less than that of women's eggs. For example, an egg stored at age 30 and fertilized with sperm from a man at age 40 will produce a healthy baby .
