Stem cells therapy for female fertility treatment in Turkey, Cost & Clinics

Stem cell treatment for female infertility

Stem cells are immature cells that help compensate for, rejuvenate and treat all our body's tissues and organs. They are undifferentiated, self-renewing and replicating. As such, they have an exceptional capacity to transform into various cell types in the body, enabling the creation of specialized cell types. Applied in the gynecology field, stem cell therapy is proving promising in the treatment of female infertility. Where it treats premature ovarian failure and diminished ovarian reserve by adjusting the low AMHlevel (Anti-Mullerian Hormone).

However, the success rate of treatment remains proportional to the patient's age, condition, and duration of the disease. To do this, all examinations must be carried out before stem cells are injected into the ovary, including endocrinological tests. This is essential to pinpoint the root cause of infertility and ensure the patient's safety.

Injection procedure at our partner clinics in Turkey

Stem cell injections are administered using a simplified and accessible procedure. This latter comprises several steps designed to guarantee the effectiveness of the treatment:

Cell extraction

The stem cell extraction is based on harvesting fat from the patient's body. This simple, rapid, and minimally invasive technique is performed on an outpatient basis. About 20 cubic centimeters of adipose tissue are collected, from which the stem cells are extracted, developed, and injected. Stem cells can also be harvested from the spinal cord and isolated by aphaeresis. Several researchers have demonstrated that these cells stimulate ovarian follicles, thereby treating infertility.

Injection technique

At our hospitals in Turkey, a team of specialists in the treatment of female infertility uses precise calculations to determine the quantity of cells to be injected. They take into account the patient's age and weight. Once inserted, these specialized cells trigger the release of specific growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules. As they stimulate AMH that protects growing follicles from premature maturation due to the FSH effect. This unique action helps to promote the maturation of ovarian follicles, while orchestrating the production of eggs and essential blood vessels. It also plays an important role in reducing cell death in ovarian tissue.

The treatment can be performed in three sessions, 45 days apart or two days in a row. The therapeutic procedure is tailored to the patient's specific needs, with each individual receiving a unique treatment plan.

Residual freezing

The remaining stem cells are carefully preserved in refrigeration facilities for a minimum of two years. This preservation process is carried out at the patient's specific request, to safeguard their precious stem cells for future applications.

Is stem cell therapy painful?

The stem cell treatment is painless. Although intravenous stem cell treatment (via vascular access) is painful, their direct injection into the ovary is performed under anaesthetic using Propofol.

When should a couple unable to have children seek treatment?

If the woman is under 35 and there are no conditions that could prevent pregnancy, assessment, and treatment should begin after one year. If there is a problem that could have an impact on pregnancy, or if the woman is over 35, assessment and treatment should begin after six months.

Expected results

The following are the results of the stem cell treatment:

• Resumption of menstruation and onset of pregnancy.
• 20% of women regained their menstrual cycle three months after injection.
• 60% of infertile women with early idiopathic menopause resumed ovulation after stem cell therapy.
• Test results for 90% of infertile women in early menopause showed an increase in AMH level (fertility index) after one month's treatment.

Treatment follow-up

It should be noted that the quality and effectiveness of stem cell infertility treatment are closely linked to the patient's lifestyle and state of health. Certain factors can affect the quality of the treatment undergone, the most notable of which are :

• Smoking
• obesity
• Alcohol consumption

Is stem cell treatment only performed for women?

Although stem cell injection has traditionally been reserved for the treatment of female infertility, it has recently been adopted to treat male infertility, particularly in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia. This condition, distinguished by the death or immaturity of spermatozoa during ejaculation, can be treated either by IV infusion of mesenchymal stem cells or by direct injection into the testicles. It's worth noting that male infertility treatment is provided at our partner clinics in Istanbul, Turkey at the best prices.
