Bevarad fertilitet trots sjukdom med risk för sterilitet i unga år
Sammanfattning
In this manuscript, the development of the clinical program for fertility preservation for adults and children at Karolinska University Hospital is described. Novel indications for fertility preservation are presented as well as our experience with counseling of young individuals and our clinical experience with all procedures involved in fertility preservation of adults and children. The information gathered during the fertility preservation program (over 15 years) may contribute to the implementation of clinical routines for fertility preservation in other centers and should be of interest to physicians taking care of young patients with inherent risks of premature gonadal failure or who need to undergo medical or surgical treatments that may reduce the patient’s reproductive potential.
