Ovarian Rejuvenation Through Platelet-Rich Autologous Plasma (PRP)

Autologous Plasma (PRP)

Today, the age of having children is increasing upwards due to socio-cultural reasons. As the age progresses, the number and quality decrease, so the chance of conception decreases and the risk of miscarriage increases. Even in this case, the chance of pregnancy decreases even with IVF treatments.

For this reason, new scientific attempts and experiments have been started to renew the ovarian tissue recently and it has been aimed to obtain better quality eggs and get successful results in advanced ages.

PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) is a completely natural blood product containing platelet and high concentration growth factors obtained from the patient's own blood. These factors play an important role in the regeneration, healing and vascularization of the cells. Therefore, it is used for increasing the reduced ovarian reserve.
