Social egg freezing, a procedure allowing women to preserve their eggs for future use, has become increasingly popular, driven by non-medical reasons such as career goals, financial stability, and the desire to delay childbearing. This review examines the reasons, risks, and effectiveness of social egg freezing globally. The procedure involves freezing eggs to maintain fertility, often used by women who lack a suitable partner or face financial barriers to starting a family. Success rates vary with age and the number of eggs frozen, and the process carries risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, complications during egg retrieval, and potential long-term health issues for the mother and embryos. The cost of the procedure is high, limiting access to only a few individuals and reinforcing social inequalities. Legal frameworks vary by country, with some places restricting access based on age or marital status. Despite its popularity, there is no official data registry, and long-term outcomes remain unclear. The medicalization of reproduction remains a contentious issue, with debates over whether social egg freezing should be publicly funded or regulated. The review highlights the need for a universal legal framework to ensure equitable access and address ethical concerns. Social egg freezing is more widely adopted in the United States and Israel, but data on its effectiveness and long-term consequences are limited. The procedure is often used by women who are financially stable and career-oriented, and it provides them with greater reproductive autonomy. However, it also raises ethical questions about the commercialization of fertility and the pressure on women to delay motherhood. The review emphasizes the importance of informed counseling, ethical considerations, and the need for further research to understand the long-term impacts of social egg freezing.Social egg freezing, a procedure allowing women to preserve their eggs for future use, has become increasingly popular, driven by non-medical reasons such as career goals, financial stability, and the desire to delay childbearing.
