About

In recent years, an increased approach has appeared in the use of autologous blood products to assist tissue and organ healing. Application of platelet rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a potential solution for infertile women with poor ovarian reserve in reproductive specialty.

Ovarian rejuvenation, stimulating the ovaries to produce new eggs after injecting PRP, can offer hope for renewed fertility to women with poor reserve volume, advanced maternal age, or either naturally occurring or premature menopause.
