What is fertility PRP?

Fertility PRP at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine uses platelets from your own blood to help you and/or your partner conceive a baby. Using a blood sample and centrifuge, this treatment extracts a concentrated source of your own platelets and reintroduces PRP into your body to boost fertility naturally. 

Men and women can take advantage of fertility PRP. The expert Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine team offers intrauterine PRP infusions for women performed by Dr. Stefani and Dr. Rachel, and testicular regenerative therapy (testicular rejuvenation therapy) for men performed by Dr. Cam.

Which conditions can fertility PRP help address?

PRP has been used in orthopedics, cardiology, burn medicine, and aesthetic medicine for decades. It’s been used in reproductive medicine for about 10 years. At Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine, the skilled naturopathic specialists offer PRP for:

• Scar prevention in patients with uterine inflammation
• Adenomyosis
• Endometriosis
• Uterine microbiome imbalance
• Previous surgeries
• Uterine adhesions
• Scarring after uterine surgery
• Uterine inflammation
• Thin uterine lining
• Infertility in men and women
• Asherman’s syndrome (uterine scar tissue)

PRP can be used before embryo transfer in patients with recurrent implantation failure. It can also be combined with other procedures to reduce inflammation before fertility treatment. PRP helps regenerate endometrial tissue in the uterus. 

What are the benefits of fertility PRP?

The benefits associated with fertility PRP at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine include:

• Easier ability to become pregnant
• Boosted new cell growth
• Blood vessel and tissue rebuilding
• Increased healing
• Improved intimate health
• Lower costs
• Fewer necessary blood draws and pelvic exams

The naturopathic fertility experts also offer acupuncture, Maya abdominal therapy, anti-inflammatory support, metabolic support, and supplements to complement fertility PRP. 

PRP has 10-20 times the platelet concentration of whole blood. Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine uses an FDA-cleared PRP processing device and only fresh, not frozen, PRP to maximize fertility results. 

The team is highly trained in intrauterine catheter insertion. In fact, Dr. Stefani has two decades of experience in this field and works closely with Dr. Rachel, her post-graduate fellow. 

The protocols they use are based on current literature and recommendations from fertility experts. The results of PRP can last months, even years. 

What can I expect during fertility PRP?

What to expect during fertility PRP depends on the type of treatment you undergo and may include:

Intrascrotal PRP

Intrascrotal PRP, also called testicular rejuvenation therapy, introduces PRP into the scrotum of men to support testicular wellness and enhance male fertility. 

Intrauterine PRP

Intrauterine PRP can also treat a thin uterine lining and recurrent implantation failure in women by improving endometrial receptivity. It infuses PRP from blood into the uterus to boost fertility.  

Dr. Stefani’s team is at the forefront of PRP fertility, publishing information about patient protocols and outcomes. They see patients both in and out of state.
