Ovarian Rejuvenation What Is Ovarian Rejuvenation? Ovarian rejuvenation is a procedure that may create new eggs in the ovaries of women who are unable to conceive because of early menopause, advanced maternal age or low oocyte (egg) reserve, yet who wish to have their own biological child. These individuals are either unable or unwilling, for their own personal reasons, to use donor eggs or to adopt a child. New eggs do not develop in the ovaries under normal circumstances, and, according to the current scientific understanding of ovarian physiology, a woman is born with all the eggs that will be available for conception during her reproductive life. Furthermore, it is a scientifically undisputed fact that a woman’s supply of eggs diminishes both in number and genetic quality as she ages. How Can Ovarian Rejuvenation Treatment Help Infertility Once activated by growth factors after the body is alerted to an internal or external injury, stem cells can morph into any type of cell in the human body. That thick yellow substance that forms over a cut as it heels? That is a combination of clotting blood, white blood cells, platelets and growth factors working to defend against infection, stop bleeding, and gradually form new skin, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. It’s a natural process clinicians have harnessed for years to accelerate healing of injuries from sports-related damage to skin grafts applied to burn patients and cardiac-surgery incisions. What Are Growth Factors? When your body is injured, it dispatches substances known as “growth factors” to provide aid. Produced naturally by platelets and white blood cells, growth factors activate the body’s stem cells to repair tissue, and induce regrowth of connective tissue and blood vessels. Physicians have been utilizing growth factors to treat a range of soft or connective tissue injuries for years, since injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from patients’ own bodies carries no risk of transmitting foreign diseases and infections. Additionally, there is no foreign blood products or man-made chemicals used in the process since it’s the patient’s own platelet rich plasma that is used. How Is Ovarian Rejuvenation Procedure Performed? The procedure can be performed anytime on women with or without periods. Ovarian rejuvenation takes place following a two-step process. First, we will isolate your PRP by subjecting a tube of blood to centrifugation in order to separate white cells and platelets.
