Fertility preservation (social freezing / medical freezing)
With increasing age, the chances of becoming pregnant decrease. If it is currently not possible to realise the desire to have children, fertility preservation therapy, known as social freezing, may be an option in certain cases. In this process, eggs are retrieved from women, stored for a certain period of time and used at a later date to realise the desire to have children. In men, a sperm sample is frozen, which can also be used at a later date to achieve a pregnancy.
In certain cases, it may be necessary to carry out the above-mentioned treatments not only for personal but also for medical reasons (medical freezing). This may be the case, for example, with a malignant disease whose treatment impairs fertility. By removing and freezing egg or sperm cells before treatment, it is still possible to realise the desire to have children even if infertility occurs at a later date.

Behind the scenes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): one of the most common but little-known hormonal disorders in women
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as PCO syndrome, is a common hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. According to the latest data, around 10 to 13 per cent of all women of childbearing age are affected. From irregular periods to fertility problems, PCOS can present a variety of challenges. Yet despite its prevalence, PCOS often remains a mysterious and misunderstood health problem. To separate the facts from the myths and develop a more comprehensive understanding of PCOS, we sat down with Dr Roland Braneti, MD, Head Physician of our Fertility Centre and Gynaecological Endocrinology at the Women's Clinic.
