Ovarian rejuvenation is emerging as a promising hope for women known to have fertility issues, early menopause, or age-related decline in egg quality. This novel procedure is designed to help restore ovarian activity and offer another chance at conception by using their eggs. Read on to learn more about this procedure.
What Is Ovarian Rejuvenation?
Ovarian rejuvenation is an advanced fertility treatment that aims to improve the function of the ovaries. This is helpful for women with conditions like premature ovarian failure, low ovarian reserve, infertility caused by age, or medical treatments like chemotherapy.
Treatment Options
The treatment is done using two innovative approaches:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
- Stem Cell Therapy (also known as ASCOT – Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in the Ovary)
Both methods tend to use the body’s cells to activate ovarian tissue, improve egg quality, increase egg production, and help women conceive naturally and fulfil the dream of pregnancy.
Process Of Ovarian Rejuvenation
So, the process begins with a consultation with a specialist who will examine your medical history, check your current fertility status, and recommend the best line of treatment. If you find this procedure suitable, then it can be done via two approaches.

So, in PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is taken and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This PRP is then injected directly into the ovaries using a minimally invasive technique. These platelets carry growth factors that can stimulate ovarian cells and encourage them to function more effectively.
When talking about Stem Cell Therapy, here, stem cells are collected from your own bone marrow or fat tissue, usually under anaesthesia. These cells are known for their ability to transform into other types of cells. After processing, they are later injected into the ovaries using laparoscopic methods. Women are then monitored for any fluctuations in hormone levels, menstrual cycles, and ovarian activity over the next few weeks and months.
