Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has reacted to recent comments by skitmaker and influencer Ashmusy on egg freezing.
Ashmusy had earlier revealed that she decided to freeze her eggs to avoid rushing into marriage because of age pressure, describing the move as a way to preserve her chances of becoming a mother in the future.
Her statement generated discussion online, with many praising the decision as a personal and modern fertility planning choice.
Reacting to the conversation, Sarah Martins said while egg freezing may help with fertility planning, it does not protect individuals from sexually transmitted infections or other health risks.
She urged women to include broader health awareness in such conversations and not focus only on pregnancy prevention.
According to her, people should continue to prioritise personal safety and responsible sexual health practices.
Sarah Martins also advised women to use protection and remain cautious, regardless of fertility options available to them.
The actress commended Ashmusy for opening up the discussion and helping to educate women on reproductive choices.
The exchange has since sparked wider conversations online about fertility preservation, sexual health education, delayed motherhood, and changing views on marriage among young Nigerians.
Medical experts generally describe egg freezing as a process used to preserve eggs for possible future pregnancy, while still recommending safe health practices and regular medical guidance.
