Jan Friberg M.D., Ph.D. SUMMARY Inflammation and oxidative stress are intimately involved in the creation of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The initial events that leads to the formation of PCOS are unknown. Inflammation with production of cytokines such as Tumor...
Jan Friberg, MD PhD The IVF procedure used today was developed in the 1970s and 80s with a very low success rate but in the 1990s a respectable 25% pregnancy rate per started procedure indicated how quickly major progress was achieved. Today the success rate has...
Jan Friberg M.D., Ph.D. Uterine fibroids are present in almost ¾ of all American women at the age of 50. Myomectomy has been the standard treatment for patients with symptomatic fibroids who desire children. However, surgery is not without risk and a need for blood...
Jan Friberg M.D., Ph.D TESTICULAR REJUVINATION – CREATING SPERM WITH STEM CELLS Summary In rodents, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and small vesicles created by MSC called exosomes, can protect spermatogenetic tissue from destruction after exposure to gonadotoxic...
Jan Friberg M.D., Ph.D. In natural fertilization only a very selected number of spermatozoa reach the oocyte to succeed with fertilization. It appears that the female is able to select the particular sperm that will fertilize the egg – a process known as mediated...

No incision will be made. The treatment is non-invasive, meaning that radio frequency (RF) generates heat by sending energy into the tissue. This procedure targets specific tissue areas responsible for vulvo-vaginal laxity and other symptoms. The patient will be paced...
No incisions are made. The treatment is non-invasive with high enhanced powered pulse CO2 laser energy for surface tissue ablation and variable continuous wave CO2 laser energy for controlled coagulation. A handpiece delivers fractionated laser energy through a...
