Treatment of Infertility Using Platelet-Rich Plasma

Introduction Regenerative biomedicine is gaining popularity in various medical disciplines, with Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) becoming a popular nonoperative treatment option for various medical disorders. PRP is used in orthopedic and sports medicine to relieve pain and promote healing in musculoskeletal diseases like tendonitis, arthritis, ligament sprains, and tears. Researchers across various specialties have found growth factors to promote natural healing responses. PRP is an autologous concentration of platelets in a small volume of plasma, usually 5 to 10 times the normal level of the whole blood. As platelets are concentrated, so are all growth factors. PRP does not require FDA approval as it comes from the patient's own body and is processed in a specialized kit and centrifuge without red cells.
