What is Endometrial Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Endometrial PRP is a therapy which makes it possible to regenerate and repair endometrial tissue with the patient’s own plasma. The treatment aims to improve the thickness and health of the uterus lining (Endometrium). Adequate thickness of the uterine lining is crucial for pregnancy, and a thin lining can negatively affect the chances of embryo implantation and fertility outcomes.
Uses of Uterine PRP Therapy
Endometrial PRP therapy is primarily pursued for:
• Improving Endometrial Thickness: Used for patients with thin endometrium to improve implantation rates in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
• Improving Embryo Implantation Rates: Helps improve endometrial receptivity, increasing successful embryo implantation.
• Treating Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF): Administered to women with repeated IVF failures due to poor endometrial receptivity.
• Managing Intrauterine Adhesions (IUAs) and Endometrial Atrophy: Helps regenerate damaged endometrial tissue, often after Asherman’s syndrome or chronic endometritis.
• Improving Pregnancy Outcomes: Studies suggest PRP may optimize pregnancy rates in women with previous IVF failures.

What is the procedure?
Blood extraction
We draw the woman’s blood, in the same way as blood tests are carried out. Thus, obtaining platelet-rich plasma is not a great inconvenience for the patient.
Centrifugation and preparation
The blood sample is taken to our laboratory and placed in a centrifuge to separate the blood components. Centrifugation separates the platelets and other important components from the blood plasma. Once separated, the platelets and other growth factors are mixed with a small amount of blood plasma to create a platelet-rich plasma concentrate.
Application of PRP
It is performed using a very fine catheter placed in the uterus. Once inside the uterus, the PRP is distributed over the surface of the endometrium. It then begins to regenerate the endometrial tissue, repairing its structure and function. It is, therefore, a painless process that does not require anaesthesia.
