How to improve ovarian function?

Nearly 40% of cases of female infertility are associated with ovarian dysfunction, particularly with impaired oocyte maturation. Timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy can restore and improve ovarian function. The most effective diagnostic methods are as follows:

• Blood tests to determine hormone levels (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH).
• Ultrasound of the pelvic organs to assess the appearance of the ovaries.
• Glucose tolerance study in case of suspected metabolic disorders.

Treatment tactics are determined by a reproductive specialist, taking into account the causes of dysfunction, clinical manifestations, and concomitant pathologies in the patient.

Causes of Ovarian Dysfunction

Disruption of the menstrual cycle and reproductive function can be caused by the following factors:

1. Endocrine diseases - diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity, and others.
2. Inflammatory processes - adnexitis, endometritis, salpingo-oophoritis, salpingitis, oophoritis.
3. Sudden weight loss - for example, during strict restrictive diets.
4. Chronic stress and overstrain - negative external factors.

How to Improve Ovarian Function?

The diagnosis and treatment of ovarian dysfunction are carried out by obstetrician-gynecologists specializing in fertility. Consultation is necessary if:

• The dysfunction is accompanied by a prolonged absence of ovulation, absence of menstruation.
• There are difficulties in conception.
• Assisted reproductive techniques (e.g., IVF) are necessary.

The gynecologist deals with menstrual disorders and inflammatory diseases that can affect ovarian function.

Symptoms of Dysfunction:

• Pain and pulling sensations in the lower abdomen during the second half of the cycle.
• Scanty periods or absence of menstruation.
• Intermenstrual bleeding.
• Premenstrual syndrome: palpitations, back pain, bloating, constipation, breast pain and tension…

To identify the causes of these symptoms, a comprehensive examination is performed:

1. Blood tests for hormones and glucose levels.
2. Ultrasound of the pelvic organs, thyroid, and adrenal glands.
3. Consultation with specialists (therapist, endocrinologist, etc.).

Treatment Methods

Treatment of ovarian dysfunction is chosen individually, taking into account the patient's age, the causes of the disorder, the severity of symptoms, and concomitant diseases. Therapeutic options include:

1. Non-medication measures - a healthy lifestyle, avoiding bad habits, normalizing body weight.
2. Medications - hormonal therapy, vitamins, ovulation-stimulating drugs.
3. Surgical intervention - in the presence of large fibroids in the reproductive organs.

Regenerative Therapy to Restore Ovarian Function

Ovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine technique that uses the patient's own blood components to rejuvenate ovarian tissue. This method is based on the introduction of the patient's platelet-rich plasma directly into the ovaries:

• stimulates tissue regeneration
• Improves microcirculation.
• activates follicle growth.

Studies show that PRP therapy helps increase anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and improve ovarian response in patients with depleted ovarian reserve. It is recommended for women suffering from premature ovarian insufficiency and reduced ovarian reserve.

The procedure is performed at the NatuVitro clinic, where the attending physician determines its necessity for each case.

If you want to know how to improve ovarian function, make an appointment for a consultation with an obstetrician-gynecologist specialist at the NatuVitro clinic. After a comprehensive diagnosis, the specialist will propose an optimal treatment plan.

Possible approaches:

• Hormonal disorders - combined hormonal therapy and ovulation stimulation.
• Inflammatory diseases - antibacterial or anti-inflammatory treatment.
• Decreased ovarian reserve - PRP therapy to stimulate ovarian tissue regeneration.

Treatment is chosen individually, based on the patient's body, including the possibility of IVF (in vitro fertilization) in case of severe reproductive disorders.
