Brief Summary

Hong Kong's fertility preservation service is underutilized and limited, with low awareness among clinicians and young adults. Traditional Chinese culture may lead to social stigma, preventing discussion of fertility issues. A survey aims to explore awareness, knowledge, and acceptance of oocyte cryopreservation, enabling resource allocation for a culturally acceptable public education program and a dedicated referral system to improve oocyte cryopreservation services.
