This article reviews the uses of PRP (platelet rich plasma) in various gynaecological problems and the scientific evidence behind it to help you make an informed decision. What is PRP? Platelets are a naturally occurring component of your own blood and play an important role in wound healing and tissue regeneration. Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP] therapy is the process of isolating platelets from the blood and concentrating these platelets to much higher concentration levels than normal, through the process of centrifugation. The result is Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP]. PRP is currently considered a new and promising treatment for some gynaecological disorders especially disorders that are not very effective with conventional treatments. PRP in Gynaecology Practice Studies and Research Update Here, we have listed and compiled all significant scientific publications related to PRP in the field of gynaecology. The list was complied by running various searches on PubMed, Google Scholar, ...

Your entire body takes direction from your hormones. Hormones are secreted by your endocrine system and are responsible for telling your organs what to do and when to do it. 1   They are essentially chemical messengers that travel throughout your bloodstream, working slowly over time to affect processes like growth and development, metabolism and reproduction. Sometimes, these chemical messengers may get out of balance, and this leads to chronic disorders such as Type 2 diabetes, weak bones and infertility. 2  Hormones may be secreted by your adrenal glands, endocrine-related organs, hypothalamus, sex glands and other organs. 3 Progesterone is important to fertility and supporting a pregnancy. It’s a steroid hormone secreted by the corpus luteum and then by the placenta if you become pregnant. 4  In some cases, when couples suffer from infertility, they choose in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is a complex series of procedures in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries...

Endometriosis, a debilitating condition impacting fertility in many women, has no cure or even a way of preventing it. However, a   study  (2023)  from Japan offers hope by uncovering a possible link between endometriosis and a specific type of bacteria. This finding implies that targeted antibiotic treatment could be key in curing this chronic ailment. Until now, available treatments have focused on symptom management using medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and painkillers like acetaminophen, which unfortunately carry their own health risks, including the ironic possibility of infertility. A Bacteria is Linked to Endometriosis By analyzing 76 healthy women and 79 women with endometriosis, the researchers found that 64 percent of those with endometriosis had Fusobacterium in their uterine lining, while only 7 percent of healthy women had it. Fusobacterium is a naturally occurring type of bacteria commonly found in the mouth, gu...
