Choose When to Become a Mother: Preserve Your Fertility

Today, science has given women a powerful and transformative tool: the ability to choose when to become mothers. This freedom, which was unimaginable just a few decades ago, is now a reality thanks to advances in fertility preservation, whether through improved reproductive health or egg storage.

In this exclusive episode of the SaludPanama Podcast, our dear Lorena Martínez talks with Dr. Saúl Barrera, Medical Director of IVI Panama. Together, they explore how women can preserve their fertility through different methods that science provides us today, and also through better reproductive health throughout their lives. 💪🧬

Fertility preservation methods such as egg freezing and others have revolutionized the options available to women. This process allows eggs to be stored in their healthiest state, usually in youth, and used in the future when a woman decides the time is right to embark on motherhood. This technology offers a sort of “pause” in the biological clock, allowing time for women to focus on their career, education, or any other personal aspect before committing to motherhood.

Furthermore, science has not only focused on egg storage. Advances in reproductive health have allowed women to maintain a better quality of health throughout their lives, which also contributes to preserving fertility. Proper nutrition, regular exercise, and constant medical checkups play a crucial role in reproductive health. Through these cares, women can prolong their ability to conceive naturally and safely.

Ultimately, the ability to choose when to become a mother is a major breakthrough in modern science, and is a reflection of progress in gender equality. Empowering women with these choices not only transforms their lives, but also redefines societal norms and expectations around motherhood. The ability to plan the right time to become a mother is undoubtedly one of the great victories of science for female freedom and autonomy.
