What is Metroplasty with PRP?
Metroplasty with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a surgical procedure performed to correct uterine abnormalities, such as uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome), combined with the application of platelet-rich plasma to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Metroplasty involves the surgical reconstruction or removal of abnormal tissue in the uterus to improve fertility outcomes, while PRP therapy utilizes the patient's own concentrated platelets to enhance the healing process.
How is Metroplasty with PRP Performed?
Metroplasty with PRP is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon accesses the uterus through the vagina and cervix using a hysteroscope, a thin, flexible instrument with a camera and light source. The abnormal tissue, such as a uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions, is then removed or corrected to restore normal uterine anatomy. Platelet-rich plasma, obtained from the patient's own blood and enriched with growth factors, is applied to the surgical site to promote tissue healing and regeneration.
Who is a Candidate for Metroplasty with PRP?
Women with uterine abnormalities such as uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome) who are experiencing infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss may be candidates for metroplasty with PRP. A thorough evaluation by a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist is necessary to determine candidacy and discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. Factors such as the size and location of the uterine abnormality, previous surgical history, and fertility goals will also be considered in the decision-making process.
What is the Recovery Process Like After Metroplasty with PRP?
The recovery process after metroplasty with PRP varies depending on the extent of the surgery and individual healing factors. Patients may experience some cramping, spotting, or vaginal discharge in the days following surgery. Pain medication, antibiotics, and restrictions on physical activity may be prescribed to promote healing. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to weeks after surgery, although full recovery may take longer. Close follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor healing and fertility outcomes.
What is the procedure after surgery?
Rest and Limit Activity: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for the recommended period.
Keep the Area Clean: Gently clean the surgical area with water and mild soap as directed by your surgeon. Pat the area dry with a clean towel, and avoid rubbing or scrubbing.
Take Prescribed Medications: Take any prescribed pain medications, antibiotics, or other medications as instructed by your surgeon to manage pain and prevent infection.
Avoid Sexual Activity: Refrain from sexual intercourse and other sexual activities until your surgeon advises it is safe to do so. This typically takes several weeks to a month or more, depending on individual healing.
Wear Loose Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably cotton underwear, to minimize friction and promote airflow to the surgical area.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Keep all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns or complications promptly.
Avoid Tampons and Menstrual Cups: Refrain from using tampons and menstrual cups during your recovery period to prevent irritation and infection.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutritious Foods: Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients to support healing and boost your immune system.
