Stem cells therapy for female fertility treatment in Turkey, Cost & Clinics 2024

Stem cells: Hope for female infertility

Stem cells, whether embryonic, adult or induced, can differentiate into numerous cell types. Their ability to self-renew and repair tissues gives them immense therapeutic potential. In gynecology, stem cells are being studied in particular for their promising role in the treatment of female infertility, especially in cases of premature ovarian failure or reduced ovarian reserve.

The success of this treatment depends on many factors, including the patient's age, ovarian status, and duration of infertility.

Before any procedure, a complete evaluation is performed to determine the cause of the infertility and tailor the treatment as best as possible. Stem cells are then injected into the ovary to regenerate damaged tissue and promote the growth of new follicles.

Stem cell injection process in Turkey

Stem cell therapy is a major advancement in the treatment of infertility. In Turkey, our partner clinics offer personalized protocols to help couples achieve their parenthood plans.

The stem cell injection process is as follows:

Stem cell extraction

Stem cell collection is based on fat tissue extraction, a simple and quick procedure performed outpatient. This minimally invasive lipoaspiration removes approximately 20 cm³ of fat, a rich source of stem cells. These are then isolated, cultured and prepared for reinjection.

Alternatively, stem cells can be isolated from bone marrow through a process called apheresis. Studies have shown that these stem cells have the potential to stimulate ovarian follicles, offering a therapeutic prospect for infertility.

Preparing the cells

Our fertility experts in Turkey have developed a personalized injection technique for each patient. Based on her age and weight, they precisely calculate the optimal dose of stem cells to be injected directly into the ovary.

These cells, grown in the laboratory, stimulate the regeneration of ovarian tissue. They promote follicle maturation, egg production, and the formation of new blood vessels. What's more, they protect ovarian cells from damage, improving the chances of pregnancy.

Stem cell injection

The prepared cells are injected directly into the ovary under local anesthesia.

Once in place, the stem cells stimulate ovarian follicle growth, promote egg production, and improve the quality of ovarian tissue.

Post-operative follow-up

Cellular therapy, which can be adapted to each individual case, can be carried out in several sessions spread over a few weeks or a few days. Each patient benefits from a personalized protocol to optimize results.

In Turkey, the procedure is performed under optimal conditions to ensure patient comfort.

The remaining stem cells can be stored in refrigerated facilities for a minimum of two years. This preservation process is performed at the patient's specific request to preserve their precious stem cells for future applications.

Expected results

Stem cell treatment for infertility can provide many benefits, including:

• Resumption of menstrual cycles: 20% of women experience a return to a regular menstrual cycle as early as three months after treatment.
• Return of ovulation: 60% of pre-menopausal women regained ovarian activity.
• Improvement in fertility markers: In 90% of patients, AMH (anti-müllerian hormone) levels increased, indicating an improvement in ovarian reserve.

The success of cell therapy is closely linked to your lifestyle. Certain factors can affect results, such as:

• Smoking: Smoking reduces the quality of eggs and sperm.
• Obesity: Being overweight can disrupt hormone balance and make treatments less effective.
• Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption can affect fertility in both men and women.

Stem cells for the treatment of azoospermia

Azoospermia, the absence or immaturity of sperm in the ejaculate, is a major cause of male infertility. It can be caused by :

• Obstruction of the spermatic ducts (obstructive azoospermia).
• A problem with sperm production in the testicles (non-obstructive azoospermia).

While this condition was once considered irreversible, advances in cell therapy are opening up new possibilities.

For men with non-obstructive azoospermia, where sperm are not produced or do not mature, surgical sperm extraction techniques are doomed to failure.

In this context, stem cell therapy is a promising therapeutic option. In this approach, stem cells are injected either directly into the testes or intravenously (systemic infusion). Clinical studies suggest that direct injection may provide better results in stimulating spermatogenesis.

Our partner clinics in Turkey offer state-of-the-art cell therapy treatments for male infertility. Benefit from our recognized expertise and personalized support to make your fatherhood project a reality.
