Guy's Hospital in London has issued an apology to 136 women after discovering it may have inadvertently used some bottles of a faulty freezing solution
Guy's Hospital in London has apologised to 136 women whose frozen eggs and embryos are likely damaged by faulty freezing solution.
Fertility patients at two clinics in England have been exposed to a faulty egg and embryo-freezing solution that might have impaired their chances of having children, the industry regulator has said.
Freezing eggs or embryos is a standard part of fertility treatment, allowing women to have families later in life or before undergoing medical treatment for conditions such as cancer.
Another fertility clinic has been confirmed using the same "faulty" product which is feared to have destroyed frozen eggs and embryos belonging to 136 women.
