Conditions

Asherman Syndrome

Brief summary

Intrauterine platelet rich plasma will be injected in the endometrial region via the vaginal route after the cessation of menstrual period. The endometrial thickness will be assessed under ultrasound and hormone replacement will be started. As the endometrial thickness reaches adequate thickness during ultrasound follow-up, embryo transfer will be performed.

Detailed description

Intrauterine platelet rich plasma will be injected in the endometrial region via the vaginal route after the cessation of menstrual period. In the second menstrual period following the PRP injection, the endometrial thickness will be assessed under ultrasound and hormone replacement will be started. As the endometrial thickness reaches adequate thickness during ultrasound follow-up, embryo transfer will be performed. Pregnancy test results will be recorded and followed.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALPRP injection in the endometrium

Within 5 days after the cessation of menstrual period, endometrial PRP procedure will be planned. Approximately 20 ml of blood sample will be collected under sterile conditions, and PRP will be prepared. The same day, within 2 hours of sample preparation, PRP injection will be performed transvaginally under ultrasound guidance and under sedation anesthesia into the endometrial region of the endometrium in several positions.On the same day after the procedure, the patient will be observed in the outpatient room and will be discharged on the same day.

Approximately 20 ml of blood sample will be collected under sterile conditions, and PRP will be prepared. The same day, within 2 hours of sample preparation, PRP injection will be performed transvaginally under ultrasound guidance and under sedation anesthesia into the endometrial region of the endometrium in several positions.On the same day after the procedure, the patient will be observed in the outpatient room and will be discharged on the same day. On the second menstrual cycle after the procedure, the patients will be checked under ultrasound and will be started hormone replacement therapy for embryo transfer.
