Who qualifies for ovarian PRP in Cyprus?

Cyprus clinics assess candidacy individually, but PRP is most commonly offered to women in the following situations:

1. AMH below 1.1 ng/mL with a history of poor response to gonadotropin stimulation
2. Antral follicle count of fewer than five follicles across both ovaries
3. Premature ovarian insufficiency diagnosed before age 40, with some residual follicular activity on scan
4. Repeated IVF cancellations due to insufficient follicular development
5. Women who have undergone ovarian surgery and experienced a subsequent decline in reserve

Clinics in Cyprus will not proceed with PRP if there is no ultrasound evidence of any remaining follicular activity. The procedure is not offered as a standalone treatment for women who have reached complete ovarian failure with no detectable follicles.

How Cyprus clinics approach the PRP procedure

The standard protocol at Cyprus fertility clinics involves drawing a blood sample, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting the concentrate directly into the ovarian cortex under transvaginal ultrasound guidance. The entire procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.

Most clinics in Cyprus schedule a reassessment six to twelve weeks after injection. This typically includes a repeat AMH test and antral follicle count to determine whether ovarian response has changed. If markers improve within that window, a stimulation cycle can be planned. If there is no detectable response, the clinical team will discuss whether a second injection is appropriate or whether alternative pathways should be considered.

Some Cyprus clinics offer bilateral injections in a single session, treating both ovaries at once. Others inject one ovary per session and monitor the response before proceeding to the second. Ask your clinic which protocol they follow and how that decision is made for your specific case.

What you should know before going to Cyprus for ovarian PRP

PRP for ovarian rejuvenation is not a standardized treatment with an established evidence base equivalent to conventional IVF. Cyprus clinics are not required to present it as experimental, but you should ask your clinic for their own outcomes data before committing to the procedure.

Cyprus operates under EU law, which means patient data protections and clinical standards align with those of other EU member states. However, as with any fertility treatment abroad, it is important to obtain written documentation of your diagnosis, the treatment plan, and follow-up responsibilities before you travel.

A few specific points to clarify with your Cyprus clinic before booking:

1. Whether your diagnostic tests (AMH, AFC, FSH) need to be done in Cyprus or can be submitted from your home country
2. The clinic's own published or internal data on PRP outcomes for patients with your profile
3. What happens if the PRP cycle does not produce a measurable response, including whether a refund or repeat injection is offered
4. Whether the clinic coordinates directly with your home specialist for follow-up monitoring, or whether that is left to you to arrange

Cyprus does not require a referral from a local physician to access private fertility treatment. You can book directly with a clinic and present your existing test results for review.

How long you need to stay in Cyprus for PRP treatment?

If you are traveling to Cyprus solely for the PRP injection, a stay of two to four days is typically sufficient. The first appointment covers a consultation and review of your test results. The injection is performed on the second or third day, and a short follow-up scan is usually scheduled before you leave.

If your clinic requires baseline diagnostics to be completed in Cyprus, factor in one additional day before the procedure. AMH results from local labs are typically returned within 24 hours, and antral follicle count is done during the same ultrasound appointment as your consultation.

The follow-up assessment six to twelve weeks later does not require you to return to Cyprus in most cases. Many clinics accept results from your home country's laboratory and conduct the review remotely before advising on next steps. Confirm this arrangement with your clinic before you travel.

How to choose a Cyprus fertility clinic for PRP?

Cyprus has a small number of licensed private fertility clinics, all operating under the authority of the Cyprus Ministry of Health. Licensing status can be verified through the ministry directly, and you should confirm your clinic holds a current license before booking.

When comparing clinics, focus on the following:

1. Whether the clinic has a dedicated reproductive endocrinologist overseeing PRP cases, rather than a general gynecologist
2. The clinic's willingness to share their own PRP outcome data, including how many patients proceeded to a successful egg retrieval after the procedure
3. Whether PRP is offered as part of a broader low-reserve protocol that includes optimized stimulation, or as a standalone add-on without structured follow-up
4. Communication standards, specifically whether you will have a named coordinator and access to your treating physician for questions between appointments

Avoid clinics that present PRP as a guaranteed path to pregnancy or that cannot provide documentation of how many patients with a similar diagnosis have proceeded to retrieval. The procedure carries no guarantee of response, and a reputable clinic will communicate that clearly.

Frequently asked questions about PRP ovarian rejuvenation in Cyprus

Is ovarian PRP legal in Cyprus?

Yes. Cyprus law does not prohibit PRP as an adjunct to fertility treatment. Licensed private clinics may offer it as part of an individualized protocol for women with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency.

How many PRP injections are typically needed?

Most Cyprus clinics begin with a single injection and reassess at six to twelve weeks. A second injection may be recommended if there is a partial but insufficient response. Clinics do not typically commit to a set number of injections upfront, as the decision depends on how your ovaries respond.

Can I combine PRP with an IVF cycle in the same trip?

Not in the same visit. PRP requires a waiting period of six to twelve weeks before stimulation begins, to allow time for any follicular response to develop. You would need to return to Cyprus for the IVF cycle, or work with a clinic that supports remote monitoring and stimulation closer to home.

Will my home country's fertility clinic coordinate with Cyprus?

This depends on both clinics. Some Cyprus fertility centers have established referral networks and are accustomed to coordinating follow-up care internationally. Ask your Cyprus clinic specifically whether they will communicate directly with your home specialist and in what format they share records.

Does Cyprus allow PRP for women in same-sex couples or single women?

Yes. Law 69(I)/2015 permits single women and same-sex female couples to access assisted reproduction in Cyprus, including treatments offered as adjuncts to IVF such as PRP. There is no restriction based on marital status or sexual orientation for this treatment in the Republic of Cyprus.
