Is ovarian rejuvenation procedure safe?
Are there any side effects or risks of ovarian rejuvenation treatment?
Ovarian rejuvenation treatment is a procedure whose aim is to restore ovarian fertility. Ovarian rejuvenation has been used to enhance fertility in women after 35 or with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
The method is quite young so it is difficult to say what effects we will get in 10 -15 years. It seems to be quite safe but it is too early to say what the risks are because normally for oncological problems for some borderline sickness, it needs a minimum of 10-15 years to develop and to understand if, in such a population, the risk increases. The literature says that now it seems it is quite safe.
If you are talking about PRP it is not a very high cost because we are using patients’ own blood: we centrifugate several times, we are using several tubes, and some needles for injection and it does not generate a high cost. Other methods with the laparoscopic treatment I cannot say how costly it is because we are not doing it so, we have no price but for sure it costs much more.
PRP ovarian treatment infusion is a safe treatment if you do it with experienced hands. I recommend doing it under sedation in the theatre room and it is necessary to have a very good ultrasound machine because we need to do this injection with a very high precision in order to include the PRP growth factors in the ovary and not in other places.
