BLOGROLL WOMEN’S HEALTH MENTAL HEALTH IN THE PRESS VOLUNTEERS CELEBRATIONS Egg Freezing in a Foreign Country By JACKIE CASTRO in EGG FREEZING, MEDICAL October 12, 2019 Egg freezing is becoming even more popular today than it was a couple of years ago. The procedure is mostly used by women who are going to undergo chemotherapy or similar treatment, as well as women that have a disease that seriously affects their fertility, such as lupus or ovarian disease. More recently, women who do not want to get pregnant now, but want to ensure they can get pregnant at a later date are also considering this procedure. These women may not be ready to start a family or have yet to meet someone they want to have a family with. With the rising popularity of medical tourism and a reduction in the cost of air travel, women who want to undergo egg freezing can have this done in other parts of the world. Also, people are now more globally connected than ever before, and they can compare clinics from all around the globe, especially since medical tourism companies, such as MyMediTravel, are providing access to thousands of hospitals around the world. Although the exact number of people traveling abroad for fertility treatment is still unknown, the number is definitely increasing. There are various reasons why more people are considering their options for egg freezing in a foreign country. These reasons include significantly lower costs, getting treatment at a top-rated private clinic or hospitals, more options for egg and sperm donation, and combining the procedure with a holiday. In addition, many countries are also offering short waiting times with higher success rates and safety, which makes egg freezing abroad even more attractive.

A mix of cultural norms, religion, traditions, ethics, principles, and political goals can shape the legislation of a country, which means no countries are the same when it comes to healthcare and egg freezing.
