Explaining the recovery process after a PRP treatment to treat vaginal dryness
Recovery from PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment for vaginal dryness is typically minimal, as it is a non-surgical procedure with little to no downtime. However, it's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the Gynaecologist to optimize results and minimize the risk of complications. Here's what you can expect during the recovery period:
Immediate Post-Treatment Period:
After PRP treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising in the treated area. This is normal and should resolve within a few days.
Some patients may also experience temporary spotting or discharge, which is typically mild and resolves on its own.
What to avoid :
The Gynaecologist will recommend avoiding sexual intercourse, using tampons, or inserting anything into the vagina for a certain period after PRP treatment. This allows the PRP to take effect and reduces the risk of infection or irritation. He will advise you when it is safe to resume these activities.
Strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting or vigorous exercise, may also be advised against for a short time after treatment to minimize discomfort and promote healing.
Follow-Up Appointments:
You will be scheduled for follow-up appointments with the Gyanecologist to monitor your progress and assess the effectiveness of the PRP treatment. These can either be in the clinic or on video, or a combination of both as required.
Good Hygiene :
It's essential to maintain good hygiene in the vaginal area during the recovery period. This may include gently cleansing the area with mild soap and water and avoiding harsh or scented products that could irritate the skin.
If you experience any discomfort or irritation, the Gynaecologist may recommend using a soothing topical cream or gel to alleviate symptoms.
