The Importance of PRP Treatment in Late Pregnancy

For women wishing to conceive at an advanced age, innovative methods offered by modern medicine provide significant hope. Prof. Dr. Bülent Tıraş, a leading expert in Obstetrics and Gynecology at ACIBADEM Maslak IVF Center, emphasizes that PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment, applied for about three and a half years, is effective in increasing pregnancy chances for women in their 40s.

PRP Treatment and Application Process

PRP treatment involves extracting platelets from the patient’s own blood and injecting them into the ovaries. This treatment aims to rejuvenate the ovaries, which often decline with age. Prof. Dr. Tıraş states, "We serve different age groups, and we have many patients in their 40s in our clinic. With PRP, we can increase pregnancy chances in these age groups." In this context, the story of a patient who became pregnant at the age of 48 after undergoing PRP and IVF procedures highlights the potential success of this treatment method.

Personalized IVF Approaches: Success Stories

Prof. Dr. Cem Fıçıcıoğlu from ACIBADEM Health Group expresses that personalized IVF methods are another crucial factor in improving success rates. He shares a real-life story: “She was 46 years old and had previously undergone five unsuccessful IVF attempts with her husband. When I first met her, her ovarian reserve had significantly decreased.”

Innovative Methods and Success

Prof. Dr. Fıçıcıoğlu explains that they performed stromal vascular fraction injection to stimulate egg production. This method supports blood flow and egg production in ovarian tissue. Subsequently, personalized IVF procedures with Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) began. After a normal embryo transfer, the patient became pregnant. Prof. Dr. Fıçıcıoğlu states, “Last week, she called me to announce she had a baby boy. Given her age, this is truly wonderful, a little miracle!”

Conclusion: Hope in Late Pregnancy

PRP treatment and personalized IVF applications provide new hope for women seeking pregnancy at an advanced age. With the expertise and innovative approaches of ACIBADEM Hospital, the effort to help women realize their family dreams contributes to the increasing successes in this field. The fact that these treatments can enhance natural pregnancy chances even at older ages is an important source of encouragement for women.
