Abstract: (1167 Views)
Introduction: The field of reproductive medicine is continuously evolving, with innovative approaches being introduced to address the challenges of infertility [1]. Among these advancements, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a novel and promising method for enhancing fertility outcomes, particularly in women with diminished ovarian reserve due to age-related factors [2].
LLLT operates by utilizing low-intensity lasers to stimulate cellular activity, promote angiogenesis, and enhance mitochondrial function. In the context of fertility, this therapy is designed to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, thereby optimizing the microenvironment of the ovaries and uterus. Improved vascularization and cellular rejuvenation could potentially lead to enhanced oocyte quality and uterine receptivity, two critical factors in achieving successful pregnancy outcomes [3].
