Summary
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy shows promise for improving thin endometrium (TE) in women undergoing fertility treatments. Further research is needed to standardize protocols for this potential regenerative approach.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Thin endometrium (TE) significantly hinders in vitro fertilization (IVF) success and pregnancy outcomes.
- Current treatments for TE lack consistent efficacy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for improving endometrial thickness.
- To assess PRP's impact on fertility outcomes in patients with TE.
Main Methods:
- Systematic analysis of recent studies on PRP application for TE.
- Evaluation of PRP preparation, treatment protocols, and clinical outcomes.
- Exploration of PRP's mechanisms in endometrial regeneration via growth factors and angiogenesis.
Main Results:
- Intrauterine PRP infusion may enhance endometrial thickness and improve implantation and pregnancy rates in women with refractory TE.
- Variations in PRP preparation and protocols limit result comparability.
- PRP therapy demonstrates a favorable safety profile with few adverse events.
Conclusions:
- PRP therapy offers a promising regenerative approach for treating TE.
- Lack of standardized protocols and robust trials necessitates further investigation.
- Consensus on PRP preparation and timing is crucial for clinical integration.
