Milann Fertility & Birthing Centre in collaboration with HCG Cancer Hospital, Bengaluru, recently organised an awareness talk on ovarian cancer, its symptoms, early detection and treatment as well as fertility preservation in cancer patients on the occasion of Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. While the talk on ovarian cancer was addressed by Dr Nisha Buchade, Consultant – Gynaec Oncology, HCG Cancer Hospital, Dr Vyshnavi Rao, Consultant – Reproductive Medicine, Milann Fertility & Birthing Centre addressed fertility preservation in cancer patients.
The event witnessed around 60 people attending besides joining through google meet. The talk was followed by an interactive session where the patients’ queries were cleared related to ovarian cancer and fertility preservation. The session helped the patients make an informed decision on whether they would like themselves tested and the importance of early detection of ovarian cancer.
Dr Nisha Buchade, Consultant – Gynaec Oncology, HCG Cancer Hospital Bengaluru said, “With the increasing incidences of women being affected by ovarian cancer in India, we need to take constructive steps in creating awareness about detection of ovarian cancer at an early stage.”
Dr Vyshnavi Rao, Consultant – Reproductive Medicine, Milann Fertility & Birthing Centre, Bengaluru said, “Today, cancer patients not only have a better rate of survival but can also think of parenthood and starting a family. Cancer treatment can affect fertility in both men and women. However, there are many techniques like egg freezing, embryo freezing, donor eggs, donor embryos, donor sperms and sperm freezing that can help in preserving fertility.”
