Protecting Your Fertility Before Cancer Treatment

Oncofertility refers to specialised fertility services designed for individuals who are about to start cancer treatment. Chemotherapy, radiation, or certain surgeries can affect the ovaries and reduce future fertility. Oncofertility treatment helps to preserve your ability to have a biological child later, without delaying urgent medical care.

Under the care of Dr Manmeet Batra, Gynaecologist, Obstetrician, and Fertility & IVF Specialist, you receive clear guidance on the safest and fastest fertility-preserving options that fit your medical condition and treatment timeline.

In What Conditions Oncofertility May Be Needed

You may be advised to consider oncofertility services if you are:

  • Starting chemotherapy or radiation soon
  • Diagnosed with a condition that may affect ovarian function
  • Undergoing cancer-related surgery involving reproductive organs
  • Worried about future fertility after treatment
  • Looking for a way to have biological children later in life

 

Fertility Preservation Options Offered

1. Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)

Your eggs are collected and frozen for future use. This is the most commonly chosen method for women who have time before treatment begins.

2. Embryo Freezing

If you have a partner or wish to use donor sperm, embryos can be created and frozen for future IVF treatment.

3. Ovarian Tissue Preservation

A small strip of ovarian tissue is surgically removed and stored through cryopreservation. This is especially helpful when cancer treatment must start immediately, and there isn’t enough time for egg freezing.

4. Ovarian Suppression (Medication-Based)

Some patients may be given injections to reduce ovarian activity during chemotherapy, helping protect egg reserve.

5. Individualised Fertility Planning

Every patient’s cancer treatment is different. Dr Manmeet Batra designs a personalised plan that balances urgent medical needs with future fertility goals.
