    Cryopreservation involves freezing cells, tissues, or organs using liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees Celsius to preserve them for long periods of time. Cryoprotectants like glycerol or DMSO are used to protect biological materials from freezing damage. In the Philippines, some people choose cryopreservation to preserve their fertility by freezing eggs or embryos for future use, such as when they want to have children at a later age. The cost of egg freezing varies depending on a woman's age but typically starts around 120,000 Philippine pesos, with annual storage fees of around 10,000 pesos.

    CRYOPRESERVATION

    • Preservation of the cell

    group of cells (serum, organ, embryo, callus)

    • Technique for freezing


     Reproductive cells using media
     The temperature of -196 deg. C (Liquid Nitrogen)
     Possible to store reproductive cells for many years

    CRYOPROTECTANT
    • Substance used to protect biological tissue from freezing damage.
    • Also used to preserve living materials in the study of Biology and to preserve food products.
     Permeating Agent: Glycerol and Dimethyl Sulfoxide
     Non-Permeating Agent: Sucrose

    CRYOPRESERVATION IN THE PHILIPPINES


    In the Philippines, some people choose cryopreservation for fertility preservation. It gives people the option to
    freeze their reproductive cells.

    Women who want to use their eggs to become mothers have the option to have their eggs or embryos frozen until
    the time they deem fit to have children. Some even prefer egg freezing to embryo freezing for religious or ethical reasons.
    Some wish to preserve younger eggs now for future use. Freezing eggs at a younger age might help them get pregnant when
    they're ready.

    This also allows a man to preserve his fertility by using his sperm at a later date or to give an infertile couple, an
    infertile individual, or a lesbian couple a chance to conceive.

    A woman’s prime is at 16-28 years of age; but the mid-reproductive years of 20-38 is good, too. Older eggs from
    39-44 have a smaller chance of pregnancy, so getting it done earlier would generally be best.

    REASONS TO PRESERVE FERTILITY


     Advancing age.
     Deteriorating sperm quality or low quantity.
     The negative effect that chemotherapy has on their reproductive organs. Chemotherapy can affect the ovaries,
    causing them to stop releasing eggs and estrogen. This is called primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). That’s
    why egg preservation is an option for them.
    COST OF EGG FREEZING IN THE PHILIPPINES
    The prices for egg freezing will vary depending on the age of the woman. A younger candidate will not need too
    many doses of hormone injections since a younger reproductive system is more active than of that of an older one. Older
    candidates will need more hormone injections for better chances of success. Egg freezing starts at Php120,000 depending
    on the candidate, and the storage of eggs can cost around Php10,000 per year.
