Autologous PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Intraovarian infusion is an experimental therapeutic approach and it is not considered a clinical routine practice or as a definitive treatment for ovarian insufficiency. Further studies are required in order to provide concrete evidence in an effort to identify the benefit from the clinical application of PRP. As of date there is a published systemic review showing benefit of PRP in enhancing ovarian reserve before IVF.
PRP is a term used to describe a fraction of the blood after processing. It is typically isolated from autologous whole blood retrieved by phlebotomy into a citrate-based anticoagulant. This is then subjected to differential centrifugation, resulting in the removal of red blood and immune cells, leaving behind a high concentration of platelets within plasma.
PRP contains an array of cytokines and growth factors, as well as a number of small molecules. The utility of PRP has been investigated in a range of regenerative medicine approaches and has been shown to induce differentiation of a range of cell types, presumably through the action of cytokines.

Fertility Services Offered
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is a fertility treatment that involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a laboratory setting. It is commonly used for various infertility issues, such as blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or unexplained infertility.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI is a procedure in which washed and concentrated sperm are directly placed into the uterus during the woman’s ovulation period. It is often recommended for couples with mild male factor infertility, cervical factor infertility, or unexplained infertility.
Fertility Preservation (Egg Freezing, Sperm Freezing, Embryo Freezing)
Fertility preservation allows individuals or couples to preserve their reproductive cells (eggs, sperm, or embryos) for future use. It is commonly chosen by those who want to delay childbearing due to personal or medical reasons.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
PGT is a specialized genetic testing procedure performed on embryos before they are transferred to the uterus during an IVF cycle. It helps identify genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, allowing for the selection of healthy embryos for transfer.
Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy
These minimally invasive surgical procedures are used to diagnose and treat various reproductive conditions. Laparoscopy involves inserting a small camera through tiny incisions to examine the pelvic organs, while hysteroscopy involves inserting a thin tube with a camera through the cervix to visualize the inside of the uterus.
Ovulation Induction
Ovulation induction involves the use of medications to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs. It is commonly used in cases of hormonal imbalances or ovulation disorders to increase the chances of natural conception or enhance the success of assisted reproductive technologies.
