WHAT IS OVARIAN REJUVENATION WITH PRP IN IVF TREATMENT?

WHAT BENEFITS ARE THERE?

Recently, we have heard quite a lot about the PRP method in IVF treatment. It can also be described as the revitalization of the eggs or the rejuvenation of the eggs. Although PRP has come to the fore in many different branches, it has now become a widely used method in IVF treatment. So, what are the advantages of PRP in IVF treatment and for what purposes do we use it? We asked Prof.Dr.Sevtap Hamdemir Kılıç:

PRP treatment is performed for two different purposes in IVF preparation.

First, the rejuvenation and regeneration of the ovarian tissue: The probability of achieving pregnancy with PRP increases in women who cannot conceive due to a problem in the ovarian reserve at an early age or in advanced ages.

The PRP process in the new age has started to become widespread and positive returns are increasing. Another purpose is to thicken the inner wall of the uterus, the endometrium.

In transfer, we also get positive returns in ensuring the thickness of the endometrium, which plays an important role in embryo transfer.

So what is PRP? How is it applied?

It is performed by preparing the platelet-rich plasma from the person’s own blood and injecting it into the ovary or uterus. It is the method of injecting and applying plasma rich in platelets and growth factors into the organ or tissue to be treated. While it has been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal and bone injuries, especially in the fields of orthopedics and plastic surgery, for more than 30 years, it has also taken a great place in IVF treatments.

We’ve started to hear about stem cells a lot, stem cells are the cells in the body and are the first of the mature cells. It is said that if the stem cells in the ovaries of women are stimulated, they can be ovulated again. In the same way, if PRP obtained from the person’s own blood is injected into the ovaries, it can stimulate the stem cells there to turn into an egg. With PRP in the ovaries, a rejuvenation process starts and the egg is obtained again.

THE FIRST STEP IN PRP IN IVF TREATMENT:

On the day of PRP, the patient’s blood is taken into a tube containing a substance that will prevent clotting. Sufficient numbers of tubes are placed in the centrifuge device. White blood cells and platelets are separated from red blood cells and serum by separating them from the blood components in the centrifuge device. Thus, the substance to be used in PRP treatment becomes ready.

THE SECOND STEP IN PRP IN IVF TREATMENT:

Following the preparation of PRP, it is injected into the ovaries or endometrium by transvaginal ultrasound, under or without anesthesia, depending on the patient’s request. Depending on the doctor’s approval, the same process can be repeated with different sessions.

WHO SHOULD BE APPLIED?

• In order to make the endometrial thickness suitable for transfer,
• In those with low AMH levels,
• ovarian failure,
• In women aged 35 and over who have infertile problems and want a baby,

Can PRP be applied everywhere?

PRP is now applied in almost every IVF center. However, it is possible with the help of outsourced companies. Of course, if the hospital does not have a PRP device.

Is there any need for extra preparation for PRP?

You can perform the PRP application by making an appointment between the days your doctor says. No extra preparation is required.

Should it be done under anesthesia?

Although anesthesia is preferred, it is a procedure that can be performed without anesthesia. However, we prefer to use anesthetized sedation anesthesia since there will be some pain and ache.
