In short, yes, ovarian egg rejuvenation, a form of PRP treatment, is known to improve egg quality. You may have heard of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) before since it’s used for popular treatments in the beauty industry, like vampire facials, hair restoration, or even for the treatment of muscle injuries for sports patients like gymnasts and runners.
PRP, however, has also become an increasingly popular cell regenerative solution for many different medical fields, including the fertility industry.
Does Ovarian PRP improve egg quality?
To understand how ovarian egg rejuvenation improves egg quality–or how to increase eggs in an ovary–you must first understand that egg quality and quantity diminish with age, greatly impacting the chance of natural pregnancy and the chance of a successful IVF journey. During IVF, egg quality matters greatly since higher-quality eggs are more likely to result in successful fertilization and healthy embryo development. For those struggling to achieve IVF success, Ovarian PRP treatment is a hopeful solution.
Ovarian PRP treatment relies on the body’s own resources, plasma platelets found in blood, to stimulate one’s ovaries into producing more, higher-quality eggs, thus improving one’s odds of natural pregnancy or IVF success.
In other words, these plasma placements are used to stimulate stem cells and improve the number of viable eggs in an IVF cycle. Results being:
- Improved Egg Quantity
- Improved Egg Quality
- Higher Chance of Embryo Implantation Success
Who is a candidate for ovarian egg rejuvenation PRP treatment?
The best candidates for ovarian rejuvenation PRP are patients who have been determined to have a low/diminished ovarian reserve, have had multiple failed IVF cycles from low egg/embryo quality, and have struggled to achieve at least 2 mature eggs per cycle.
Does PRP treatment hurt?
Fortunately, collecting plasma platelets is simple and can be done on-site at your local fertility clinic. The process consists of a quick blood draw, and the sample is then placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelets from the red and white blood cells. The remaining separated PRP is then extracted from those platelets and injected into the desired location, sometimes on the same day!
PRP for infertility is still a fairly new practice and is considered experimental, but early statistics show a high rate of 70-80% success in improved egg quality and quantity.
