New promising results from PRP treatment

New research results have been published on PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment, and they look promising. Dextra has been using PRP for several years, but only occasionally, as there has been no clear evidence of its benefits. Plasma can now be prepared using a new method, which makes it more effective than before. In addition, new information has been obtained on the effects of PRP treatment.

What does PRP mean? How is the treatment carried out?

PRP is plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood, which contains platelet growth factors. The treatment is simple. A blood sample is taken from the patient and centrifuged to collect the plasma containing platelets. The plasma is injected into the uterine cavity, where it remains effective for a longer period of time. The procedure is painless and has no side effects. One treatment is sufficient for many, but some require more than one treatment.

Who can benefit from PRP?

PRP has mainly been used when the lining of the uterus (endometrium) has been thin. It has also been used in cases of recurrent miscarriages or repeated unsuccessful treatments. According to the latest research, PRP has been used to treat chronic uterine inflammation and can also correct immunological changes associated with endometriosis and adenomyosis.

PRP is not a miracle cure. If the uterus is normal, PRP will not improve it. It can only be beneficial when the treatment is targeted correctly. At Dextra, the need for treatment is assessed based on previous treatment history, ultrasound examination, and the immunological and bacteriological status of the endometrium.
