Dr. Natalia Szlarb, Gynaecologist & Fertility Specialist at UR Vistahermosa, covered ovarian rejuvenation therapy choices, their primary indications, how it works, and results during this session.
We have to be aware that medical professionals have been using PRP for rather some time. Platelets, red and white blood cells abound in whole blood. Usually, the serum is found in the top section; the cells sink at the bottom of the tube when centrifuged. Special elements added to this blood release helpful nutrients like cell growth factors, cytokines, and vascular growth factors by platelets. Regenerative medicine has made use of PRP, particularly in orthopaedics for knee injuries—common in cold nations like Germany, where skiing is rather popular.
For advanced-aged women, mesotherapy using PRP has shown improvements in skin quality. With age, collagen in the connective tissue of the skin gets disorganized; yet, following PRP injections, it reorganizes and improves skin quality. In three particular indications—premature ovarian failure, low ovarian reserve patients, and endometrial regeneration—gynecology has also embraced PRP.
PRP in fertility medicine
After a specific centrifuge preparation, the platelets in PRP release nutrients that favorably affect the uterus lining, particularly in cases of thin endometrium, poor growth, implantation failure, premature ovarian failure, or low ovarian reserve due of age. Improving endometrial and ovarian responses, platelets release growth factors, insulin growth factors, tissue development factors, and vascular factors.
PRM injections have shown a rise in the number of undeveloped follicles, better cortical volume, and increased angiogenesis for individuals experiencing ovarian failure. These changes enable hormones administered in later cycles to better reach the ovary, hence enhancing the ovarian response. Regarding Asherman syndrome, PRP cannot be regarded as a treatment. PRP can be used, however, to target the remaining viable portions after embryo transfer, lower pro-inflammatory hormones, and increase endometrial thickness in less severe situations whereby sections of the endometrium are still alive.
Unlike oestrogen, PRM is not used daily to induce endometrial development. It is reserved for a few severe conditions include patients with advanced mother age and low ovarian reserve, Asherman syndrome, ovarian regeneration in premature ovarian failure, and those with low ovarian reserve overall.
Before starting an IVF cycle, ovarian reserve has to be evaluated.
Two different disorders are low ovarian reserve and early ovarian failure. Menopause naturally strikes women between 45 and 55 years old when they cease ovulating. The disorder known as premature ovarian failure occurs in which women cease egg production prior to 45. If the AMH levels are declining and premature ovarian failure results, PRP can be employed.
The postponing of maternity makes early planning of pregnancies crucial. It can help to freeze eggs at a younger age or explore PRP treatment in advanced mother age with a low ovarian reserve. Should PRP fail, egg donation offers still another choice.
Patients who have had significant chemotherapy or have AMH values of 0.2 or 0.0.0 may not be suited for PRP. Your ovarian reserve is strong when your AMH exceeds 2 nanograms per millilitre. You have reduced ovarian reserve when your AMH falls between 1 and 2. You have low ovarian reserve when your AMH is less than one nanogramme per millilitre. Through ovarian rejuvenation, the goal is to boost the untraveled follicle count in patients with poor ovarian reserve. For them, one more egg or follicle is a gift, particularly considering their voyage to Spain from another continent.
Two different entities exist: early ovarian failure and low ovarian reserve. Women who have the stop of egg production in their ovaries before to the age of 45 are said to have premature ovarian failure. One further name for this disorder is early menopause. Lack of egg production causes these people to suffer early age infertility issues. We offer PRP treatment in cases of low ovarian reserve or premature ovarian failure. Still, it's crucial to understand that PRP cannot create miracles. For instance, PRP is not the greatest fix following intense chemotherapy, say for leukaemia or breast cancer. Freezing eggs for future use after the oncological condition is under control is advised before chemotherapy. The moment we should think about employing PRP is when we naturally see a decline in AMH suggesting early ovarian failure.
Mother age and pregnancy planning show a fascinating pattern in Spain. While in the southern region of Spain there are younger moms, mother age in the northern part of Spain is roughly 32–31 years old. In northern major cities where people are better educated and women are more independent, they often put off motherhood and concentrate on advancing their professions. In these situations, it is advised to store eggs before the age of 35 or, should advanced mother age with low ovarian reserve cause cause for concern, to discuss PRP treatment. Should PRP treatment be successful, it can be rather remarkable; should it not, egg donation is the only alternative left. Not waiting too long and acting before the age of thirty-five is absolutely vital.
Endometrial Regeneration and Dose Correction
The patient's AMH level guides the dosage of hormonal stimulation—like FSH and LH. Reduced AMH levels call for a smaller dosage of medicine to prevent ovary overstimulation. Although we use vasodilators such as Viagra (sildenafil) and adrenaline in endometrial regeneration, kindly be advised that this is not commercial Viagra and should not be used orally. To increase the thickness of the uterine lining, the vasodilators are administered vagally together with high doses of oestrogen and PRP flushing. Improvements in the lining thickness do, however, usually take months.
Process of Preparation for PRP
Two syringes of ten milliliters apiece are required for endometrial rejuvenation; from this, plasma is produced to contain growth factors and platelets. Calcium fluoride activates the platelets thereby releasing growth factors and cytokines. More blood is needed for ovarian rejuvenation, and four syringes—each measuring ten milliliters—are gathered. Every ovary receives three milliliters of PRP then. These operations are carried out in a lab, and the treatment uses the upper portion of the plasma—which comprises the advantageous elements.
PRP Organization and Timing
The degree of the complexity of the case will affect the timing of the PRP therapy. Sometimes it is given on the eighth or ninth day of the cycle; in other situations, it may be taken all through the cycle. Particularly for patients flying from different regions of Europe, the scheduling can be difficult. Through effective workflow organization, we hope to offer convenience. We forward the permission, medication schedule, and prescriptions on the day of the first session to guarantee everything is in order. The pharmaceutical regimen might be changed depending on the various needs of the patients.
Advantages of PRM
Being an autologous treatment—that is, from the patient's own body—PRP has benefits in complex situations and lowers the likelihood of rejection. Usually, the PRP treatment causes no allergic responses. Aiming to enhance the number of follicles, it can help in situations when egg donation is not yet appropriate. It may also help the uterine lining become thinner and maybe raise pregnancy rates. In severe Asherman syndrome or extreme adhesions, however, PRP may not be successful and other therapies could be required.
Finish
In reproductive medicine, PRP is currently regarded as experimental; additional study is required to completely grasp its effects on ovarian and uterine tissue. It is saved for special circumstances rather being used generally. Although PRP has demonstrated advantages in uterine lining development, more consistent results in ovarian rejuvenation call for more suitable procedures.
