Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has responded to comments by skitmaker Ashmusy on egg freezing, warning that the option does not shield women from infections or other health risks.

Ashmusy’s stance sparks conversation

Ashmusy had earlier said she chose to freeze her eggs to avoid rushing into marriage due to age pressure, describing it as a way to secure her chances of motherhood in the future.

Her position triggered discussions online, with many weighing in on fertility choices and timing.

Sarah Martins issues health warning

Reacting, Sarah Martins acknowledged the importance of educating women on egg freezing but stressed that it should not be misunderstood as protection against sexually transmitted infections.

“Dear Ashmusy, thank you for educating women on egg freezing,” she said.

“But please remind them that freezing their eggs… doesn’t prevent them from getting infected with HIV/AIDS and other diseases.”

She urged women to remain cautious and prioritise safe practices, noting that fertility planning does not replace health protection.

Call for broader awareness

The actress emphasised the need for more balanced conversations around reproductive health, encouraging women to combine family planning decisions with proper awareness of health risks.

“Protect yourself always,” she added, while also commending Ashmusy for raising awareness on the topic.
