“…In addition, some of these women may have maternal-fetal risks in terms of pregnancy due to medical problems they have at the time of oocyte resolution. As recommended by Bachman et al, the detailed informing of these patients must be done at the time of oocyte cryopreservation (27).…”

OBJECTIVE: To analyze demographic and clinical data of patients who resorted to oocyte freezing between January 2014 and December 2018. STUDY DESIGN: Patients who applied to the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Unit of Ankara University School of Medicine between January 2014 and December 2018 with the request of oocyte freezing were included in this study. The files and computer records of the patients were analyzed retrospectively and sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 46 cycles were recorded in 40 patients over a 5-year period. The main indications were low ovarian reserve and/or advanced age (68.3%) and malignancy diagnosis (31.7%). There was a significant difference between elective fertility preservation and oncofertility preservation (Onco-FP) groups in terms of the age (38.4±4.7 vs 28.4±6.1; p=0.001). There was a significant difference between two groups in favor of oncofertility group in terms of anti-Mullerian hormone level, basal follicle-stimulating hormone level, antral follicle count, trigger day estradiol (E2) level, number of obtained oocytes, MII oocytes, and frozen oocytesCONCLUSION: According to our study, the most prominent oocyte cryopreservation indication was advanced age and/or low ovarian reserve. The number of oocytes collected from patients in the Onco-FP group and thus the number of frozen oocytes was significantly higher than in the elective fertility preservation group, due to younger ages and better ovarian reserve in the Onco-FP group. Abdominal administration of the technique is particularly important for virgin patients in our country. Oocyte freezing is a fertility protection method available in a wide range of indications for reproductive-aged women.

“…Women who choose elective oocyte cryopreservation may address their gynecologist or fertility preservation team, consisting of an embryologist, fertility specialist, and a psychologist or counselor [8]. However, for quality decision-making, they should be informed of the risks of the procedure, benefits and costs, the success rates, long-term outcomes regarding physical health, psychological well-being, currently known data on the health of children born from frozen oocytes, duration of storage of frozen eggs, and sign an informed consent form [2,5,9].…”

Increasing numbers of women are undergoing oocyte or tissue cryopreservation for medical or social reasons to increase their chances of having genetic children. Social egg freezing (SEF) allows women to preserve their fertility in anticipation of age-related fertility decline and ineffective fertility treatments at older ages. The purpose of this study was to summarize recent findings focusing on the challenges of elective egg freezing. We performed a systematic literature review on social egg freezing published during the last ten years. From the systematically screened literature, we identified and analyzed five main topics of interest during the last decade: (a) different fertility preservation techniques, (b) safety of freezing, (c) usage rate of frozen oocytes, (d) ethical considerations, and (e) cost-effectiveness of SEF. Fertility can be preserved for non-medical reasons through oocyte, embryos, or ovarian tissue cryopreservation, with oocyte vitrification being a new and optimal approach. Elective oocyte cryopreservation is better accepted, supports social gender equality, and enhances women’s reproductive autonomy. Despite controversies, planned oocyte cryopreservation appears as a chosen strategy against age-related infertility and may allow women to feel that they are more socially, psychologically, and financially stable before motherhood.

“…Comparisons between the groups indicated that counseled patients were significantly less depressed at 3 months postoperatively and reported more beliefs in personal control over health.

Background: Communication with the patient is not just an add-on; it is the backbone where patient care rests. Effective communication is an important tool to develop good relationship with the patients. Objectives: The present study was undertaken to assess the difference in the satisfaction level of the patients after a “Routine counseling” and “Comprehensive counseling”. Materials and Method: It is hospital based comparative study. In this study one hundred patients admitted to the surgical ward of the Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur were taken. These patients were divided into two groups. Group (A) which consist fifty patients, had a Routine counseling and group (B) consisting of another fifty patients had a Comprehensive counseling pre-operatively. After operation, the satisfaction level was noted before the patients were discharged. In this series only patients between 20-65 years and who had routine operation were included. Routine Counseling: It is usual practice in the hospital that the patients are routinely counseled by the doctor in the unit before operation. This counseling is not standardized but is done by the doctors as they deem fit. Comprehensive Counseling: The basic components of the comprehensive counseling include explaining the nature of operation in simple language, why it is needed; it’s possible complication and outcome of the operations. Results: The present study showed that comprehensive counseling after the routine counseling by the doctors provides a much higher level of satisfaction in the operated patient (P value 0.001). Conclusion: The present study showed that comprehensive counseling on the top of a routine counseling provides a much higher level of satisfaction in the operated patient (P value 0.001) in comparison to routine counseling only. The routine counseling usually is done by a doctor and lacks comprehensiveness possibly because of the time constraints.

Abstract: Given the increasing use of oocyte cryopreservation, data support that women be extensively counseled at the time they are requesting elective oocyte cryopreservation for future use in the same manner that they are counseled when requesting ART for pursuing an immediate pregnancy.
