Abstract

This study investigated the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on ovarian function and pregnancy outcomes in three patients with severe reduction of ovarian reserve. The patients had previously undergone multiple cycles of assisted reproductive technology (ART) without favorable results. Prior to PRP treatment, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels were assessed. PRP was administered through intraovarian injection. Hormonal assessments were performed at 6–7 months after the first PRP injection. The results showed major improvements in ovarian function, as evidenced by decreased FSH levels and increased AMH levels in all three patients. The number of mature oocytes retrieved per cycle and the ovum-to-blastocyst rate were also improved. All the patients achieved successful pregnancies and gave birth to healthy infants. These findings suggest that PRP may enhance ovarian function, oocyte quality, and pregnancy outcomes in patients with severely reduced ovarian reserve. Further research is necessary to validate these results and explore the underlying mechanisms.
