Why is Cryoprotectant Toxicity a Concern in Gynecology?
Cryoprotectant toxicity is a significant concern in gynecology because it can directly impact the success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The viability of frozen oocytes and embryos is critical for successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. If cryoprotectants cause damage, it can lead to lower pregnancy rates and may also affect the long-term health of the offspring.
