Stem cell therapy for infertility is an emerging field that seeks to address conditions where conventional IVF alone may not be sufficient — very low ovarian reserve, POI, refractory thin endometrium, and certain male factor conditions. While the science is promising, it is crucial to distinguish between evidence-based investigational protocols and unproven commercial claims.

Key Points

Current clinical applications focus on multipotent cells (ADSCs, MSCs) and PRP for ovarian and endometrial support.
The primary mechanism is believed to be paracrine (growth factor secretion) rather than direct cell replacement or differentiation into eggs/sperm.
No stem cell treatment has yet been proven in large randomised controlled trials to reliably create new eggs or sperm in humans.
Investigational protocols should include informed consent, ethical oversight, and transparent outcome reporting.
Stem cell approaches are best viewed as complementary to — not replacements for — standard IVF and fertility treatments.

Who Should Know This?

Patients who have exhausted standard IVF options, those with very low ovarian reserve or POI, men with non-obstructive azoospermia exploring all avenues, and anyone seeking to understand the regenerative fertility landscape.
