COMPLEX CASE: REPRODUCTIVE AGING, PRP AND THE COST OF DELAYED EVIDENCE BASED CARE

Featuring: Elnur Babayev, MD, MS

Episode Summary

In this episode of Better Edge, Elnur Babayev, MD, MS, physician‑scientist and reproductive endocrinologist, discusses a complex case involving diminished ovarian reserve, advanced reproductive age and complications following intra‑ovarian platelet‑rich plasma (PRP).
 
Using this case as a lens, he examines the evidence gaps, safety concerns and opportunity costs associated with commercially marketed, unproven fertility interventions. The conversation highlights common misconceptions about ovarian “rejuvenation,” the limitations of ovarian reserve testing, and practical guidance for counseling, referral, and informed consent in caring for patients navigating reproductive aging.
