Platelet-Rich Plasma for Female Sexual Dysfunction
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled trial evaluates whether a single injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the distal anterior vaginal wall improves sexual function in women with sexual dysfunction. Sixty participants with a Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total score of 26.5 or lower are randomized 1:1 to PRP injection or sterile saline injection. Sexual function, sexual distress, global impression of change, and urinary incontinence symptoms are assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6 months after injection.
