Stem cell therapy, a revolutionary approach in reproductive medicine, is making significant strides, offering new avenues for addressing infertility and related reproductive challenges. This article delves into the impact of stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and their pivotal role in regenerative medicine. We explore various methods for obtaining stromal cells from adipose tissue, including direct approaches such as adinizing and enzymatic techniques and in-direct methods like emulsification and microfragmentation/micronization. Direct methods, such as adinizing, preserve the fat tissue for graft use, while enzymatic methods discard the fat due to potential contamination. Indirect methods aim to increase the relative proportion of stromal cells by removing parenchymal cells. Additionally, we discuss the application of MSCs in treating conditions such as premature ovarian failure and Asherman’s syndrome, highlighting their role in tissue repair and fertility restoration. Our findings underscore the transformative potential of stem cell therapy in reproductive health, offering promising solutions for individuals facing infertility and other reproductive challenges. The continued research and refinement of these techniques, along with the exploration of new methods and technologies, hold promise for advancing reproductive medicine, providing a wealth of knowledge for professionals and individuals interested in this field.
