What is RRM?
What is RRM?
RRM (Restorative Reproductive Medicine) is a medical discipline that looks to identify and treat the root cause of reproductive problems, aiming to treat, optimize and restore the patient's health
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
RRM focusses on this question, then restores or optimizes natural function without suppressing or bypassing the problem
Cycle or Fertility Charting

Together. Transforming Reproductive Medicine.

The International Institute for Restorative Reproductive Medicine is the leading voice in uniting providers and researchers who share a common belief that patients deserve scientifically-based and well researched reproductive health care services that cooperate with and restore reproductive function. To address reproductive health problems, Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) exclusively focuses investigations and treatments on identifying and correcting abnormalities, restoring or optimizing normal reproductive function.

IIRRM Conference Guidelines for Abstracts

Abstracts are now being accepted for the International Scientific & Clinical Conference for Restorative Reproductive Medicine being held on August 7-10 2024! Early bird submissions closes April 5, 2024. This year marks our 20th Anniversary, which will be hosted at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

New Research suggesting DHEA treatment during pregnancy can reduce the risk of miscarriage for women with low oestrogen levels

New research published on DHEA treatment during pregnancy and risk of miscarriage for women with low oestrogen levels. This study is the first of its kind to show DHEA supplementation effectively increased estradiol levels and reduced miscarriage rates in pregnancies with low serum estradiol. Low estradiol levels could serve as a measurable biomarker for targeted RRM therapy in recurrent miscarriage.

The Surveillance of Treatment and Outcomes in Restorative Reproductive Medicine (STORRM)

The STORRM project is underway! Register your interest and download the resources to contribute as an individual clinician or as a clinic in this project. The goal is to establish an ongoing, self-sustaining, international registry for restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) treatments for subfertility and miscarriage, and determine the outcomes of treatment.

Journal Club: Novel approaches to the management of recurrent pregnancy loss: The OPTIMUM (OPtimization of Thyroid function, Thrombophilia, Immunity, and Uterine Milieu) treatment strategy

Kuroda K et al.. "Novel approaches to the management of recurrent pregnancy loss: The OPTIMUM (OPtimization of Thyroid function, Thrombophilia, Immunity, and Uterine Milieu) treatment strategy". This study aimed to determine if an “OPTIMUM” management strategy could improve pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of RPL. The strategy involved identifying and treating specific conditions such as chronic endometritis, elevated Th1/Th2 cell ratios, thyroid dysfunction, & thrombophilia when compared to a control group.

Sperm DNA Integrity and Male Health 

This activity provides an update on sperm DNA Integrity/Damage and testing, the relationship between male fertility and health and between sperm DNA damage and health of the offspring and discusses what we can do to improve male health and fertility. Presented by Preben Christensen, PhD, who has been researching sperm quality and reduced fertility since 1996, which in 2006 led to the founding of SPZ Lab - which offers an examination of sperm cell DNA integrity (SDI-testing).

Investigating Endometriosis and PCOS as Diametric Conditions

This webinar explores the concept that endometriosis and PCOS represent opposite outcomes of variation in HPG axis development, with endometriosis linked to low prenatal and postnatal testosterone, while PCOS is associated with high prenatal testosterone. Endometriosis and PCOS could be considered as reflecting maladaptive extremes of female fitness-related adaptations, which has direct implications for therapy and fertility restoration in women with endometriosis or PCOS.
