Abstract

Ovarian reserve can be defined as the quality and quantity of oocytes in the ovaries. Ovarian reserve directly correlates with fertility. Ageing causes a natural decline in fertility, with ovaries having performed their full function by menopause, leaving females unable to conceive. Recent studies by Sfakianoudis et al. have explored the use of injected platelet rich plasma (PRP) to boost ovarian reserve and combat infertility. While this is currently a novel concept, the results are encouraging and PRP could well be introduced as a viable fertility treatment.
