The science of Assisted Reproductive Technology is progressing at a much faster pace. Compared to fertility treatments done a decade ago, today the technology has improved, giving rise to improved success rates. Earlier women dealing with low ovarian reserve, medical conditions like Premature Ovarian Insufficiency, were often advised to go for a donor cycle.
However, there could be techniques like Ovarian PRP & Stem cell therapy leading to rejuvenation which if proven beyond its experimental stage, may benefit women facing low ovarian reserve. Times Now Digital spoke to Dr Sonia Malik, Chief Clinical Mentor at Nova IVF Fertility, about Ovarian PRP Rejuvenation and how it is beneficial. Ovarian PRP Rejuvenation: What Is It?Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a platelet concentration obtained from an individual's blood.
Growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and repair are abundant in platelets. In order to potentially increase the quality and number of eggs produced, ovarian PRP rejuvenation involves injecting PRP directly into a woman's ovaries. It works on the principle that in women who generally suffer with low ovarian reserve or age-related reduction in fertility, the growth factors in PRP may help repair ovarian tissue, boosting the natural process of egg formation.
Who Can Benefit from Ovarian PRP?The primary patients for ovarian PRP treatment are women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) or diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). POI can cause early menopause, especially in women under 40, while DOR is the early loss of viable egg production by the ovaries. Furthermore, PRP rejuvenation may be an option for women experiencing age-related fertility decline, especially those in their late 30s who wish to prolong their reproductive window.
PRP may be an alternative option for women whose low egg quality has resulted in several failed IVF cycles to increase their chances of success. ConclusionOvarian PRP rejuvenation is a significant advancement in reproductive treatment, especially for women dealing with age-related infertility or low ovarian reserve, while ovarian PRP rejuvenation is not a guaranteed solution for infertility. As research continues, this treatment could become a standard offering in fertility clinics worldwide, providing hope for women who are otherwise primarily advised donor cycles.
