Akansha Narrates To Soha The Painful Experience Of Egg Freezing

MUMBAI-Actress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor spoke about the physical challenges she faced during the egg freezing process in a candid conversation with actress Soha Ali Khan on the podcast ‘All About Her’.

During the episode, which focused on topics such as egg freezing, reproductive choices and medical advancements, Soha Ali Khan asked Akansha about her experience after undergoing one cycle of the procedure.

Responding to the question, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor said the process was physically demanding and left her in significant discomfort.

“Physically, I was in a lot of pain, which I don’t think happens to everybody, but I was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t stand straight because it just felt like there was a big balloon inside me, and my doctor was like maybe because you’re just really small. So, I couldn’t stand straight, and I used to go to my sister’s house. So, I live in the B wing, and she lives in the A wing. So, I would walk to her house for her to inject me, and for 2 or 3 days, I couldn’t even walk as I was in so much pain. I couldn’t stand it,” she said.

She added that even light physical activity became difficult during the process.

“When I asked what workout I could do, I was told I could walk. After the first day, there’s no way I could even walk. So, that was a lot. And I did not expect to feel so physically blah. It’s not a period cramp. It’s not pain. It’s just a discomfort, which is bloating, heaviness, like there’s just a big balloon in my stomach and it’ll burst any minute. So, I need to be like this, and also the hormones,” she said. (IANS)
