About Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Therapy in IVF and Reproductive Medicine is a cutting-edge, regenerative treatment that harnesses the body's own healing potential to address complex fertility challenges. This innovative procedure involves harvesting a patient's stem cells, often from bone marrow or adipose tissue, and processing them in a specialized lab. The concentrated stem cells are then precisely administered, typically via injection, into the uterine lining or ovaries. The goal is to rejuvenate and repair reproductive tissues, improve endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation, and enhance ovarian function. It is primarily considered for conditions like Asherman's Syndrome (intrauterine adhesions), thin endometrium, and certain cases of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), offering a novel approach where conventional treatments have been unsuccessful.

Key Highlights

    Offers a regenerative approach to repair and rejuvenate reproductive tissues.May improve endometrial thickness and receptivity for embryo implantation.Can be a potential option for conditions like Asherman's Syndrome and thin endometrium.Utilizes the patient's own cells (autologous), minimizing rejection risks.Represents a novel frontier in treating complex, previously untreatable fertility issues.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Asherman's Syndrome (Intrauterine Adhesions) not responsive to standard surgical treatment.
  • Persistent thin endometrium (<7mm) despite estrogen therapy.
  • Selected cases of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) or diminished ovarian reserve.
  • To improve endometrial receptivity in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).
  • Uterine scarring or poor blood flow to the endometrium.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive fertility evaluation including hysteroscopy and advanced imaging.
  • Blood tests and screening for infectious diseases.
  • Consultation with a reproductive specialist to confirm candidacy and set realistic expectations.
  • Stem cell harvesting, typically a minor procedure to collect bone marrow or adipose tissue.
  • Laboratory processing and concentration of the harvested stem cells over several days.

Risks & possible complications

  • Risks associated with the harvesting procedure (e.g., pain, bleeding, or infection at the collection site).
  • Risk of infection or injury during the uterine injection procedure.
  • Potential for minimal vaginal spotting or cramping post-procedure.
  • Theoretical long-term risks are not fully established as it is an evolving therapy.
  • No guarantee of successful pregnancy or improvement in fertility outcomes.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Most patients can go home the same day after a short observation period.
  • Mild cramping or spotting for 1-2 days is common; rest is advised.
  • Avoid strenuous activity, swimming, and sexual intercourse for 3-5 days as directed.
  • Follow-up ultrasound may be scheduled to assess endometrial response.
  • Integration into an IVF cycle typically occurs in a subsequent menstrual cycle to allow for tissue regeneration.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (typically outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-3 days for immediate post-procedure recovery; full cycle integration takes 4-6 weeks
