Regenerative support using autologous plasma

PRP Treatment

PRP Treatment

PRP is platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood. It contains growth factors that support tissue healing and cell regeneration. The treatment is carried out exclusively following individual medical indication and medical consultation with Asst. Prof. Dr. Resmiye Ermis.

Brief overview: When is PRP treatment appropriate?

PRP treatment may be considered in various gynecological settings when tissue is weakened or regenerative processes are to be supported. This includes, among others, age-related changes, scar tissue, or symptoms caused by reduced blood circulation.

Whether PRP is suitable for you depends on your individual situation and the underlying cause. Asst. Prof. Dr. Resmiye Ermis will advise you in detail and provide a realistic explanation of the treatment’s possibilities and limitations.

Before PRP treatment, a detailed medical consultation and a gynecological examination are carried out. This assesses whether PRP treatment is medically appropriate and which target tissue can be treated. Opportunities, limitations, and realistic expectations are discussed transparently.

On the day of treatment, a small amount of blood is first drawn. This blood is processed using a PRP system to obtain the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then applied precisely to the intended treatment area. The procedure is brief and performed under medical supervision.

The processed PRP is injected directly into the respective target tissue. The treatment is performed precisely and individually tailored, depending on the specific indication and anatomical conditions.

The PRP injection into the uterus (endometrium) is a regenerative treatment in which processed autologous blood is introduced into the uterus via a catheter. It promotes blood circulation, regeneration, and thickening of the endometrial lining in order to improve embryo implantation in cases of thin endometrium or repeated implantation failures.

Goal

Support of endometrial regeneration

  • in cases of thin endometrium
  • in cases of repeated embryo transfer with poor endometrial quality

Possible effects

  • improved blood circulation
  • tissue regeneration

Limitations / Note

  • not every endometrium responds to the treatment
  • evidence base is still limited
  • only after clarification of the underlying cause of endometrial insufficiency

The PRP injection into the ovaries is a regenerative procedure in which platelet-rich autologous plasma is injected directly into the ovaries. Growth factors in the plasma are intended to reactivate ovarian function, stimulate follicular maturation, and improve egg quality. It is used primarily in cases of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), or in women over the age of 40 to enhance fertility.

Goal

Approach for patients with

  • diminished ovarian reserve
  • reduced egg quality

Approach

  • activation of dormant follicles
  • improvement of the ovarian microenvironment

Limitations / Note

  • results are highly individual
  • not yet conclusively supported by scientific evidence
  • important: realistic expectations and clear medical counselling

PRP may be considered as an individual approach in the vaginal area for the following symptoms or treatment goals, among others:

  • vaginal dryness, for example after menopause
  • pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • mild stress urinary incontinence
  • vaginal atrophy due to hormonally induced tissue loss
  • support of blood circulation and tissue quality

PRP in the labia may be considered as a supportive regenerative approach in cases of:

  • age-related changes
  • thinning tissue
  • scars after childbirth
  • symptoms caused by dryness or reduced blood circulation

PRP may improve tissue firmness and blood circulation. As it is autologous, the risk of immune reactions is low.

PRP may be considered to support regenerative processes in cases of:

  • cesarean section scars
  • perineal tears or episiotomies
  • vulvar or vaginal scars following surgical procedures

The aim is to improve tissue quality in the area of the scar.

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

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

Not every patient responds to PRP treatment. The scientific evidence varies depending on the area of application. A realistic assessment of the possibilities and limitations, as well as clear medical counselling, are always a priority.
