A doctor at an infertility clinic has performed “ovary transplants” on a small number of infertile women who have gone on to have healthy babies. Though the procedure sounds futuristic, it’s definitely possible (it freezes a piece of ovary, not the whole organ), and not so bizarre as the other suggestion in his new study: That the procedure might help women avoid menopause altogether. Before you ask your doctor to toss a piece of your ovary in the freezer, know that there are many caveats, and it’s not likely to be used as a method for having babies very late in life, or to dodge the symptoms of menopause altogether.
Should Women Freeze Ovarian Tissue To Have Babies Later In Life?
