Background
Fertility problems of women are multifaceted, and worries of the patients regarding them are paramount. While treating women for their infertility issues, doctors often identify tissue dysfunction (such as Ovarian Insufficiency and Endometrial Dysfunction) as one of the major factors responsible for a number of infertility conditions in women of all ages.
At Andaman Fertility and IVF Center, Shri Vijaya Puram, our doctors often recommend PRP as a great solution to address the tissue related problems of aspiring mothers. Fertility experts have adopted this method as a good alternative to conventional medicine, especially because it's easy, fast and safe at the same time delivering excellent outcomes.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a popular medical healing technique. The procedure uses platelet-rich plasma, which comprises growth factors to stimulate tissue regeneration and function.
PRP is prepared from the patient's own blood and used as an injection at the targeted site of the body, which allows doctors to treat various tissues selectively. PRP is generally used as a supplementary add-on with other treatments and may be used with complementary medicines.
PRP is used as an alternative healing technique because it's fast, easy and painless compared to conventional medicinal and surgical methods and often produces better outcomes in a more affordable and less risky way.
At Andaman Fertility and IVF Center, Shri Vijaya Puram, we make use of this technique in addressing a number of conditions of female infertility. The unique rejuvenating ability of platelet-rich plasma can be utilised in improving ovarian function, endometrial quality and uterine layering.
Advantages of PRP Therapy
Non-surgical
PRP being a non-surgical treatment, it is considered very safe. Chances of side effects from the therapy are very low, hence PRP is mostly risk-free.
Highly efficient
PRP has proved to be very efficient in treating tissue dysfunction. The regenerative capabilities of PRP are strong and effects last longer than typical alternatives.
Versatile
PRP can be used to address a number of infertility conditions in women of all ages. Be it ovarian dysfunction or endometrial insufficiency, PRP is effective in all cases.
Better ROI
PRP can sometimes replace other possible treatment options which might cost more time and money. Therefore, by doing PRP our doctors can prepare a more affordable treatment option for you.
PRP Process
Blood Extraction
PRP is prepared from blood samples which are taken from the patient's own body. The patient has to be present at the clinic on the scheduled date for standard blood collection.
Preparation
PRP is prepared inside the laboratory using special devices called centrifuges. Temperature pressure and chemical balance of the Plasma fluid has to be carefully maintained at all times.
Storage
The produced PRP needs to be stored in proper temperature and pressure till the date of the therapy. Activating chemicals are applied to the solution to trigger the PRP before injection.
Therapy
On the scheduled date, the PRP is directly injected into the desired location under local anaesthesia. Most patients can go home on the same day without experiencing any side effects.
Uses of PRP in Female Infertility Treatment
In many women, infertility occurs due to poor ovarian function caused by various factors like biological age, unhealthy lifestyle, hormonal disbalance or other underlying diseases. These factors lead to depleted ovarian reserve or reduced oocyte quality and number. Such a situation arises mostly due to decay of ovarian tissues and poor functional health of the ovary. With PRP, it is possible to increase ovarian health by aiding in its regeneration process.That is why this therapy is used as a supplementary add-on to increase female fertility, particularly before IVF, IUI procedures.
In cases of Repeated Loss of Pregnancy (RPL) and Implantation Failure, uterine health may be considered as the responsible factor. Poor quality of the endometrial tissue or thin uterine layer is responsible for insufficient uterine performance. Growth factors present in PRP can not only stimulate the growth of extra endometrial tissue to thicken the uterine layer but also can revive the receptivity of existing endometrial tissue. This is why PRP is preferred by experts of Andaman Fertility and IVF Center, Shri Vijaya Puram, usually in addition to other treatment approaches in dealing with uterine factor infertility.
