Study Summary

Female fertility is affected by many factors, such as ovarian function, fallopian tube patency, uterine environment, and mental state, among which the ovaries and endometrium are more important. In reproductive medicine, ovarian dysfunction, poor ovarian reaction, intrauterine adhesion, recurrent implantation failure, and thin endometrium are the five most common diseases that affect fertility. These five diseases lack effective treatment, and previous studies have shown that platelet-rich plasma is promising in treating these five diseases, so it is necessary to further explore the therapeutic effect and potential mechanism.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Premature ovarian insufficiency: ① Women aged >18 and <40 years old; ②Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea for more than 4 months (excluding pregnancy); ③ Basalfollicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >25IU/L (interval >4 weeks) at least 2 times, ortotal antral follicles (AFC) <5, or anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) <1.1ng/mL.

  • Poor ovarian response: ① Advanced age (≥40 years) or other risk factors for poorovarian response; ② Poor ovarian response in previous IVF cycle, with ≤3 oocytesretrieved using conventional protocols; ③ Decreased ovarian reserve (antral folliclecount <57 or anti-Müllerian hormone <0.51.1 ug/L). Meeting any 2 of the above 3criteria is sufficient.

  • Intrauterine adhesion: ① Diagnosed by hysteroscopy and scored ≥5 points according tothe American Fertility Society criteria (1988); ② With symptoms such as reducedmenstrual flow amenorrhea, periodic lower abdominal pain, infertility, or recurrentmiscarriage; ③ Adult women with the desire to conceive.

  • Thin endometium: ①Endometrial thickness <7mm on ovulation day or on the day of humanchorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection, or <7mm on progesterone conversion day whenusing conventional hormone replacement therapy, ②adult women with the desire tocomceive.

  • Repeated implantation failure: Women under 40 years old who have failed to achieveclinical pregnancy after transplanting at least three high-quality embryos withinthree fresh or frozen cycles. High-quality embryos include: Day 3 embryos (with ≥8cells, evenly sized blastomeres, and <10% fragmentation) and blastocysts (≥3BB).

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Alanine aminotransferase > 3 times the normal upper limit or estimated glomerularfiltration rate (EGFR) < 90 ml/min;

  • Suffering from serious mental illness, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseasesand malignant tumors;

  • Suffering from diabetes with poor blood sugar control or other systemic diseases;

  • Drug abuse, alcoholism or drug addiction;

  • Participated in other interventional clinical studies within half a year;

  • Poor compliance;

  • Other circumstances that are not suitable for participating in the study.
