Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Ovarian or Endometrial Rejuvenation

A natural therapy using a patient’s own blood to support ovarian or uterine health and enhance fertility.

Helpful tools

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood, rich in growth factors and regenerative proteins. By isolating these platelets and injecting them into targeted areas, PRP encourages tissue repair, cellular growth, and improved blood flow.

At Sunfert, PRP is used as a safe, minimally invasive method to support reproductive health, helping patients optimise fertility potential.

How PRP Can Help in Fertility?

PRP supports fertility through 2 main approaches for:

  • Ovarian Rejuvenation
  • Endometrial Rejuvenation

1. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Ovarian Rejuvenation

What is Ovarian Rejuvenation?

Ovarian Rejuvenation is a fertility treatment designed to restore and optimise ovarian function.

During the procedure, PRP is injected into the ovaries to stimulate dormant follicles, enhance ovarian activity, and improve egg quality.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for women with diminished ovarian reserve or age-related fertility challenges.

 

Ovarian Rejuvenation is commonly recommended for patients who:

  • have a reduced ovarian reserve
  • are experiencing early menopause or poor egg quality
  • wish to improve fertility outcomes before trying IVF treatment

How Ovarian Rejuvenation can help:

  • PRP stimulates dormant ovarian follicles, improves hormonal balance, and may enhance egg quality, potentially increasing the chances of conception.

The Ovarian Rejuvenation procedure, step by step:

1. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to extract platelet-rich plasma.

2. The platelet-rich plasma is then carefully injected into the ovaries under ultrasound guidance. The process is minimally invasive, safe, and typically performed as a day procedure.

2. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Endometrial Rejuvenation

What is Endometrial Rejuvenation?

Endometrial Rejuvenation is a treatment that enhances the uterine lining to support successful embryo implantation.

PRP is injected into the endometrium to improve thickness, promote vascular blood circulation, and increase receptivity.

This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with a thin or unresponsive uterine lining or those experiencing recurrent implantation failure, helping to optimise conditions for embryo implantation.

 

Endometrial Rejuvenation is commonly recommended for patients who:

  • have a thin or unresponsive endometrium
  • are experiencing recurrent implantation failure
  • are preparing for IVF and require a receptive uterine lining

How Endometrial Rejuvenation can help:

  • PRP delivers growth factors that stimulate cellular repair and improve vascularisation, resulting in a thicker, healthier endometrium with enhanced receptivity for embryo implantation.

The Endometrial Rejuvenation procedure, step by step:

1. A small amount of blood is collected from the patient and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.

2. The platelet-rich plasma is carefully injected into the uterine lining via a simple intrauterine injection. The procedure is minimally invasive, usually painless, and performed in a clinical setting under professional supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Ovarian and Endometrial Rejuvenation

Question #1: Is platelet-rich plasma safe for fertility treatments?

  • Yes. PRP for ovarian or endometrial rejuvenation uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications. It is considered a minimally invasive and safe therapy.

Question #2:  How soon are results observed after platelet-rich plasma treatment?

  • Some patients notice improvements within a few weeks, though significant changes in ovarian function or endometrial thickness may take several menstrual cycles.

Question #3: Can platelet-rich plasma for ovarian or endometrial rejuvenation replace IVF?

  • PRP for ovarian or endometrial rejuvenation is a complementary therapy. While it can improve ovarian and endometrial health, many patients may still require IVF to achieve pregnancy.

Question #4: How many platelet-rich plasma for ovarian or endometrial rejuvenation sessions are typically needed?

  • The number of sessions depends on individual fertility status. Our fertility specialists at Sunfert assess each patient and create a personalised treatment plan.

Question #5:  Is platelet-rich plasma for ovarian or endometrial rejuvenation suitable for all women experiencing fertility issues?

  • PRP for ovarian or endometrial rejuvenation is mostly recommended to women with diminished ovarian reserve, thin endometrium, or recurrent implantation failure.
  • Patients are advised to have a consultation with our fertility specialist to determine suitability for treatment.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
