Dr. Shahin Ghadir Featured in Medscape on Elective Egg Freezing Trends
We’re proud to share that our very own Dr. Shahin Ghadir, world-renowned fertility specialist at HRC Fertility Beverly Hills, was recently featured in a Medscape article discussing the rapid rise of elective egg freezing. The published study, appearing in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, revealed that elective egg freezing procedures have increased fourfold between 2014 and 2021—a trend Dr. Ghadir confirms in his own Beverly Hills fertility practice.
Dr. Ghadir’s Perspective on Fertility Preservation
In the interview, Dr. Ghadir highlighted the growing awareness and acceptance of egg freezing among women today:
“That shows that it’s a procedure that’s more accepted, more talked about, and being performed more,” Dr. Ghadir shared.
He also noted that patients are choosing egg freezing at younger ages. While national data shows the average age dropped slightly from 36 to 34.9, Dr. Ghadir has observed women in their early 30s—sometimes as young as 31 or 32—taking proactive steps to preserve their fertility.
Why Dr. Ghadir Recommends Early Action
Egg freezing provides patients with flexibility and peace of mind. Dr. Ghadir emphasizes that age is one of the most critical factors in fertility success:
“The younger you are when you freeze your eggs, the better the chances of having more eggs that are quality eggs with better outcomes. Being proactive at a younger age is much more important than anything during this process.”
This message aligns with his mission at HRC Fertility Beverly Hills—to help patients make empowered choices about their reproductive health.
Advances in Fertility Science
As Dr. Ghadir pointed out in his Medscape feature, egg freezing has come a long way. In the past, patients were told success rates were lower than creating embryos. Today, thanks to scientific advancements, success rates are much higher and comparable to other fertility treatments, making egg freezing a powerful option for preserving fertility.
