Dr. Koufomichail performs Ovarian Rejuvenation

Due to the fact that modern European women postpone childbirth until later in life, they are more likely to face the problem of ovarian insufficiency by the time they are ready to have children.

Who is eligible for Ovarian Rejuvenation?

Ovarian Rejuvenation therapy is a new, experimental procedure,  that may stimulate the growth of new eggs in the ovaries of women who have been previously unable to conceive due to: 

• Premature ovarian failure (early menopause).
• Suboptimal response to hormone stimulation (low egg numbers during IVF or ICSI or low AMH). 
• Advanced maternal age. 

Ovarian Rejuvenation involves injecting growth factors, which have been extracted from a patient’s own serum, into the ovary using a technique similar to that used to extract eggs for IVF. 

Success with Ovarian Rejuvenation may be seen by: 

• A return of menstrual periods where they previously had stopped. 

• A reduction in FSH levels and a rise in AMH levels in menopausal women, which is hoped will be associated with a return of ovarian function and eggs.
