Fertility Preservation Before Medical Treatment
Cancer treatment and some other therapies can affect fertility. Eggs, sperm or embryos can often be frozen quickly before your treatment begins.
Fertility Preservation
Protecting your fertility before treatment starts
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and some surgery can damage eggs or sperm. Fertility preservation means freezing eggs, sperm or embryos before treatment. It can keep the option of a family open for later.
Hearing about fertility at the same time as a serious diagnosis is overwhelming. The aim is to make this step quick and clear.
Dr Jasdev plans preservation around your medical care and keeps your treating doctors informed.
A plan that starts with your results
Your age, history, test results and goals are reviewed before any treatment is suggested.
Clear reasons for each step
You will know why a test or medicine is recommended, what it can do and where its limits are.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around how you respond, your cycle timing and your next decision.
What quick planning gives you
- Appointments arranged urgently when treatment is close
- Stimulation that can start at any point in your cycle
- Close contact with your cancer or medical team
How your care is planned
Every stage answers three questions: what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. The plan is reviewed at each stage and adjusted when needed.
Urgent review of your diagnosis and treatment timeline
Choose egg, embryo or sperm freezing
Complete freezing, usually within two to three weeks
What the options are
For women, eggs or embryos can be frozen after about two weeks of stimulation, which can begin on any day of the cycle. For hormone sensitive cancers, medicines such as letrozole may be added. For men, sperm can usually be frozen within days. Other options may be discussed in special cases.
Who may benefit
Anyone facing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery on the ovaries or testes, or other treatment that may affect fertility. It can also apply to some conditions, such as severe endometriosis or inherited risks.
What to expect
Appointments are arranged as quickly as possible. Tests are done promptly, and treatment is planned around your medical schedule. Consent forms cover storage and future use, and your treating doctors are kept informed.

You will always know what the next step is and why it has been suggested. He sees couples from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, as well as some who travel from neighbouring countries.
What to bring to your appointment
Your records help Dr Jasdev understand your history quickly, so more of the visit can go to your questions. If you cannot find everything, bring what you have.
- A letter or summary from your treating doctor
- The planned start date of your treatment
- Any recent blood tests or scans
What patients often ask
Most couples arrive with several questions. These common ones can help you plan what to ask.
Will freezing delay my treatment?
Is stimulation safe with my condition?
Should I freeze eggs or embryos?
What are my chances of using them later?
Your questions about fertility preservation before treatment
What does fertility preservation before treatment involve?
It means freezing eggs, sperm or embryos before treatment that could harm fertility, so you may have the option of a family later.
Who is it suitable for?
People facing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery on the reproductive organs, and some with other conditions that threaten fertility.
What tests are needed?
Egg reserve tests or a semen analysis, infection screening and a review of your medical plan. These are done quickly to avoid delays.
