PRP for treatment of Vaginal Dryness

Platelet-rich plasma treatment can help combat the problem of vaginal dryness, by using the healing power of your blood platelets

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for vaginal dryness is a treatment option that involves using the patient's own blood plasma, which is rich in platelets, to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve moisture levels in the vaginal area. It is performed on an out-patient basis and you are able to leave the treatment centre after the procedure. Currently, this procedure is only available in the north of England

Here's how PRP therapy for vaginal dryness typically works:

Preparation: The patient's blood is drawn, usually from their arm, in the same way it would be for a routine blood test at your family Doctor

Processing: The blood is then processed in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of the blood. It takes just a few minutes for this process to complete

Injection or Application: The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the vaginal tissues or applied topically to the vulvar area. In some cases, it may be combined with other treatments, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, to enhance its effectiveness. The treatment takes about half an hour.

Stimulation of Tissue Regeneration: The growth factors and other bioactive proteins present in the platelet-rich plasma stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen production, and increased blood flow to the vaginal tissues. This can help improve vaginal lubrication, elasticity, and overall vaginal health.

Results: Patients may experience improved vaginal moisture levels, reduced discomfort or pain during intercourse, and enhanced sexual satisfaction following PRP therapy for vaginal dryness. Results may vary from person to person, and multiple treatment sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.
