PRP
PRP – OVARIAN TISSUE REJUVENATION
infusion of plasma with a high concentration of platelets and growth hormones (platelet-rich plasma: PRP) derived from the breakdown of platelets (elements of circulating blood)
is it possible to regenerate ovarian tissue?
in our time it has become a reality!
in the recent past, patients with premature menopause or low ovarian reserve were forced to resort to egg donation without any alternative
PRP infusion in the ovaries has come to offer significant hope and change the scenery in IVF
PRP is indicated for women:
with low ovarian reserve or low egg quality
of advanced reproductive age to increase their chances of pregnancy without resorting to egg donation
how it works and how regeneration is achieved:
it inhibits the continuous destruction of ovarian cells and at the same time awakens the remaining ones
it aims to produce better quality eggs or even increase the number of eggs
when it takes place:
PRP can be administered on any day of the cycle but preferably in the first follicular phase and after menstruation
what is the procedure:
in the first stage, a simple blood sample is taken and growth factors found in platelets and white blood cells are isolated from the patient’s blood, PRP (PlateletRichPlasma).
the fluid is then injected into the ovaries in two ways
transvaginally under the guidance of an ultrasound or laparoscopically in case of small ovaries
when the effect of PRP starts:
the effect of PRP starts in the next two weeks and can last up to six months but the main effect is in the first two months
the effectiveness of PRP depends on:
the age of the patient
from the existing ovarian activity
advantages of PRP:
an increase in the number of follicles in the ovaries
improvement of egg quality and increasement of the chances of pregnancy at advanced reproductive age
additional advantages
- delaying the onset of menopause
- improvement of menopausal symptoms, temporarily and during the period of infusions.
success cannot be 100% guaranteed, on the other hand it is not accompanied by any long-term complications
our experience so far has shown us excellent results with menstrual resumption in women with premature menopause, natural conceptions in women with low ovarian reserve (poor responders) and improvement in egg number and quality and eventually in achieving pregnancy in women undergoing IVF
PRP – ENDOMETRIAL REJUVENATION
a healthy, normal endometrial thickness with no signs of inflammation is a key factor in the implantation of a normal embryo
it is indicated for women with:
thin endometrial thickness
endometritis – inflammation of the endometrium
adhesions
repeated implantation failures
how it works:
stimulates cell proliferation and regeneration due to the large amount of growth factors and cytokines it contains
how it’s done:
in the first stage, a simple blood sample is taken and growth factors found in platelets and white blood cells, PRP, are isolated from the patient’s blood
then the fluid is injected into the endometrial cavity under ultrasound guidance without anesthesia like embryo transfer
