When a baby girl is born, her body contains all the eggs she will ever have. One egg is released and shed with each menstrual cycle. When a woman reaches maturity and has low egg reserves, she may experience infertility. Ovarian rejuvenation is a treatment by which existing germ cells in the ovaries can be stimulated to produce mature eggs that are released.
Ovarian Rejuvenation Process
Older women who are having problems conceiving and women experiencing early or premature menopause may also benefit from ovarian rejuvenation. This can make having a healthy pregnancy difficult. Ovarian rejuvenation increases the opportunity for older women to become pregnant using their own eggs.
Germ cells are naturally occurring in the human body and have the unique ability to transform into any type of human cell, including nerve and tissue cells. Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, contains growth factors that may stimulate germ cells in the ovaries. PRP is derived from a small sample of blood that is put in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells.
The PRP, with its growth factors and other components, is injected directly into the ovaries. The infusion of PRP stimulates the ovaries’ stem cells, increasing the number of healthy, viable eggs.
The PRP used in ovarian rejuvenation comes from your own body. Tsignificantly reduces the risk of infection or rejection by the body. If you are in good health and your examination indicates that you can tolerate the rejuvenation procedure, it may be beneficial. While still considered experimental, some anecdotal evidence suggests a benefit for properly selected patients.
