Can I get PRP knee injection while pregnant?

I would recommend avoiding the PRP until after the baby is born. While PRP is generally considered safe because it uses the patient's own blood, the safety of PRP treatments during pregnancy is not well-established. There is limited research on the safety of PRP therapy during pregnancy. Most medical treatments and procedures are cautiously approached during pregnancy due to the lack of specific studies on pregnant women. Pregnancy involves significant hormonal changes that can affect the body’s response to treatments and healing processes. The immune system undergoes changes during pregnancy, potentially altering how the body reacts to PRP therapy. Consider the necessity and urgency of the PRP treatment. Many elective procedures are postponed until after pregnancy to ensure the safety of both the mother and the developing baby.
