Healing the Uterus with Platelet-Rich Plasma

You’ve heard of vampire facials—but what about healing your uterus with your own blood? In this episode of Wellness Wednesday, Helen sits down with Dr. Sarah Pederson, OBGYN, MD. and founder of Vera Fertility, to unpack one of the most innovative tools in restorative reproductive medicine: the intrauterine PRP wash. Dr. Pederson explains how this procedure—using a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma—can help rejuvenate the uterine lining, support implantation, and offer new hope for women facing recurrent miscarriage, thin lining, chronic endometritis, or unexplained infertility. She walks through what the procedure actually looks like, who makes a good candidate, and why so many patients who’ve hit a wall elsewhere are flying to Colorado just to get this done. They also talk about: • Why inflammation and allergies can quietly sabotage fertility • How chronic infection in the uterus gets completely missed in mainstream care • The difference between PRP wash and surgical ablation (and why they’re opposites) • How PRP is also used in endometriosis surgery and to support egg quality If you’ve ever wondered whether there are options beyond birth control, ablations, or IVF, this episode is for you. Dr. Pederson lays out a hopeful, holistic vision of women’s health—one where your symptoms matter, your uterus is understood, and healing is actually possible.
