Endometrial Rejuvenation PRP
Endometrial Rejuvenation PRP
One of the main factors that guarantee a successful assisted reproductive technology {ART} is the ability of an embryo to implant in the uterine wall (endometrium). Many Invitro Fertilization cycles {IVF} or Intrauterine inseminations {IUI} cycles are either canceled or fail due to inadequate or thin endometrial lining despite the fact that the egg and sperm quality are good enough to produce a successful pregnancy.
A new regenerative biomedicine using PRP and Stem Cells has emerged at the forefront of multiple areas of medicine including plastic surgery, orthopedics, neurology, and now reproductive medicine.
Platelet rich-plasma {PRP}, a prepared protein from the patient’s own blood, has been found to have a miraculous effect on rejuvenating and improving the thickness and quality of the tissue lining of the endometrial wall.
PRP contains a huge reservoir of bioactive substances and growth factors that restore the natural balance, stimulating and inducing epithelial proliferation, cornification, healing and repair of the
endometrium lining, to optimize embryo implantation.
PRP is also enriched with stem cells that are the body’s raw material from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated.
These cells have the ability to transform to uterine endometrial cells and regenerate, rejuvenate and improve the endometrial lining for optimized efficiency of embryo implantation, and thus conception.
NCCRM is now always recommending for patients to use this new treatment prior to embryo transfer or IUI procedures to increase the chance of a successful treatment cycle, that ends with conception and a healthy fetus.
Procedure:
The patient presents to our laboratory to have blood drawn, approximately 40 cc of blood is drawn by
the lab personnel and transported to our reproductive laboratory.
The PhD’s in the reproductive lab then produce the PRP from the patients blood to produce approximately 10 cc of PRP/PRF. This process takes 1-2 hours.
The PRP is then infused into the uterine endometrial cavity with the same catheter as an intrauterine insemination.
The patient rests for approximately 15 mins and then returns to her low activity for the remainder of the day.
