• Testicular failure ( inability of a male to form sperms )
• Ashermans syndrome ( Uterine Synechia-when walls of the uterine cavity stick to each other compromising the cavity space )
The success rate of stem cell therapy is variable it can be up to 50 percent.
Stem cell preparation is injected laparoscopically into the ovary. American studies have shown an increase in ovarian size and 2 fold increase in estrogen levels (female hormone levels ) up to 1 year after the procedure. We have Skilled doctors who are Stem Cell Therapy Specialist in India. As we all know, stem cell therapy is being used to treat a variety of degenerative diseases.
Relief in symptoms of POF such as hot flushes, night sweats decreased libido, vaginal dryness and repeated Urinary infections has been seen leads to enhanced quality of life.
