Endometrial PRP Therapy

Endometrial PRP Therapy

For women who’ve been struggling with a thin endometrial lining or have faced the heartbreak of repeated implantation failures, Endometrial PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy offers a gentle yet powerful solution rooted in your body’s own healing potential.

What Is Endometrial PRP Therapy?

Simply put, it’s a regenerative treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to help create a healthier, more welcoming environment for embryo implantation.

Here’s how it works:

  1. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm—just like a routine blood test.

  2. It’s then processed in a machine (centrifuge) to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

  3. This PRP, rich in healing growth factors, is carefully infused into your uterus through a thin, flexible catheter.

These growth factors help repair and rejuvenate the endometrial lining, improve blood flow, and make the uterus more receptive for an embryo to implant and grow.

Who Might Benefit from PRP Therapy?

PRP is often recommended for:

  • Women undergoing IVF who have experienced recurrent implantation failure

  • Those with a persistently thin endometrium, despite hormone treatments

  • Individuals looking for additional support before embryo transfer

A healthy endometrium, ideally between 7 to 9 mm, is essential for a successful pregnancy. PRP can help make that possible.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • It’s a simple, outpatient procedure done in the second half of your menstrual cycle.

  • No anesthesia is required.

  • The process is quick and minimally invasive, with little to no discomfort.

  • It’s performed under ultrasound guidance for precision and safety.

Since the PRP is made from your own blood, the risk of side effects or allergic reactions is extremely low.

What Does the Research Say?

Though still a newer technique in reproductive medicine, studies have shown encouraging results—from increased endometrial thickness to improved implantation and pregnancy rates, particularly in women with tough fertility journeys.

While it may not be a magic cure, PRP therapy is becoming a valuable “add-on” option in IVF protocols, especially for those who have limited options left and are looking for every possible chance to succeed.

A Gentle Boost from Your Own Body

Endometrial PRP therapy is more than just a medical procedure—it’s a hopeful step forward for many women navigating fertility struggles. By using your body’s own natural healing properties, this treatment aims to give your uterus the nurturing boost it needs to support a healthy pregnancy.

If you’ve been facing repeated setbacks with IVF or dealing with a thin uterine lining, talk to your fertility specialistabout whether PRP could be the next step in your journey.
