PRP treatment for unfulfilled desire to have children

PRP treatment for unfulfilled desire to have children

PRP treatment may be considered as a complementary approach for selected patients with a desire to have children. The aim is to support the regeneration of the endometrial lining or the ovarian conditions. The treatment is carried out exclusively following individual medical indication and medical consultation with Asst. Prof. Dr. Resmiye Ermis.

Brief overview: When can PRP be beneficial in cases of a desire to have children?

PRP may be considered for patients with thin endometrium or repeated embryo transfers associated with impaired endometrial quality. PRP may also be evaluated as an individual approach in cases of diminished ovarian reserve or reduced egg quality.

Whether this method is appropriate in your individual situation will be determined by Asst. Prof. Dr. Resmiye Ermis following careful diagnostic evaluation and a detailed consultation.

Before a possible PRP application, a comprehensive gynecological and reproductive medical evaluation is carried out. Potential causes of the unfulfilled desire to have children are analyzed, and it is assessed whether PRP may be considered as a complementary measure. Opportunities, limitations, and realistic expectations are discussed openly.

On the day of treatment, a blood sample is first taken. The blood is processed using a PRP system to obtain platelet-rich plasma. The subsequent application is carried out in a targeted manner according to the individual medical indication.

Depending on the individual situation, PRP may be injected into the endometrial lining of the uterus (endometrium) or into the ovaries. The application is performed precisely and individually tailored.

PRP for the endometrium may be considered in patients with

  • thin endometrium
  • repeated embryo transfers associated with impaired endometrial quality

Possible effects include improved blood circulation and support of tissue regeneration. Not every endometrium responds to the treatment, and the scientific evidence is currently still limited.

PRP injections into the ovaries may be considered as an individual approach in patients with

  • diminished ovarian reserve
  • reduced egg quality

The aim is to improve the ovarian microenvironment and potentially activate dormant follicles. Results vary individually and are not yet conclusively supported by scientific evidence.

In some contexts, PRP is referred to in a marketing-oriented manner as a so-called “shot.” In our practice, however, the treatment is carried out exclusively following medical indication, careful diagnostic evaluation, and medical consultation with Asst. Prof. Dr. Resmiye Ermis.

As a rule, no prolonged recovery period is required. Light everyday activities can usually be resumed shortly thereafter. Asst. Prof. Dr. Resmiye Ermis will inform you individually about what to consider after the treatment.

PRP does not replace established fertility treatments. Not every patient benefits from the application, and treatment success cannot be guaranteed. A realistic assessment and clear medical counselling are paramount.
