Freezing your eggs: What no one tells you

Posted by Dexeus Mujer | 23 Apr, 2025 | Fertility | 0 |

Egg freezing has seen a sharp rise in demand in recent years. Yet, it remains a rarely discussed topic, with limited information available. Women who have decided to go through with egg freezing rarely share their experience, while those not planning to have children in the near future often don’t ask about it. As a result, many women are postponing motherhood without a clear understanding of what their future chances of having children might be – even though it is relatively easy to find out. A simple blood test can determine your levels of a hormone called anti-Müllerian hormone...

If you have undergone a fertility treatment – or are currently undergoing one – you probably know that having multiple embryos can increase the chances of achieving a pregnancy. Therefore, having more than one embryo available is usually good news. However, the results of the treatment are not always predictable: you may conceive on the first cycle, you may need more than one or, in some cases, you may not achieve your desired goal. When the process ends – whether because you have had the number of children you wished for, have decided not to continue with further cycles,...

Do fibroids affect fertility?

Fibroids are growths made up of muscle tissue that develop in the uterus. They affect 1 in 5 women of reproductive age, so they are very common. Fibroids vary significantly in size — from as small as 5 mm to as large as 20 cm — although most do not exceed 4 or 5 cm. Furthermore, they can grow during a woman’s fertile years and usually shrink or disappear after menopause. The exact cause of fibroids is still unknown, but their growth is linked to oestrogen levels, and genetic factors may also play a role. Fibroids often go unnoticed...

Male infertility: a taboo or a little-known issue?

Male infertility is rarely discussed in society. This is partly because it is still somewhat of a taboo subject, but also because of a lack of knowledge about both its causes and effects.

At Dexeus Mujer, we have a unit specialising in male sexual and reproductive health and we offer heterosexual couples the option of a couple’s fertility assessment, which allows us to speed up the diagnosis when infertility problems are...
