Platelet-rich plasma administration to the lower anterior vaginal wall to improve female sexuality satisfaction

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to the lower one-third of the anterior vaginal wall on sexual function, orgasm, and genital perception in women with sexual dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four sessions of PRP were administered to the anterior vaginal wall of 52 female patients with sexual dysfunction and orgasmic disorder Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total score ≤26 orgasmic subdomain score ≤3.75. Prior to the PRP administrations in each session, the FSFI validated in Turkish, the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS), the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R), and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale were used and in the final follow-up, and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) was performed and the results were analyzed. RESULTS: months (p<0.001). The FSDS-R scores showed a minimal increase in stress scores as the application number increased, but a statistically significant decrease was observed in the 4th administration (p<0.001). No statistically significant difference was found in Rosenberg Scale scores before and after treatment (p=0.389). High satisfaction was found in PGI-I scores. CONCLUSION: As a minimally invasive method, PRP administration to the distal anterior vaginal wall may improve female sexuality with high satisfaction.
