Curr Med Sci. 2023 Dec;43(6):1075-1083. doi: 10.1007/s11596-023-2816-4. Epub 2023 Dec 2.

Abstract

Endometrial receptivity is an important factor that influences embryo implantation. Thus, it is important to identify an applicable approach to improve endometrial receptivity in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Recently, growing evidence has indicated that intrauterine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion is an effective method to obtain a satisfactory reproductive outcome by increasing endometrial thickness and improving endometrial receptivity. Therefore, the present review aims to outline the possible mechanisms of PRP on endometrial receptivity and summarize the present literature on the effects of PRP therapy in improving endometrial receptivity.

Keywords: endometrial receptivity; endometrial thickness; intrauterine perfusion; platelet-rich plasma.
