PRP treatment for vaginal dryness

The treatment of vaginal dryness using PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a modern, natural and minimally invasive procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma extracted from your own blood. It is injected into the vaginal lining to stimulate tissue regeneration, improve lubrication and reduce the discomfort caused by dryness. The procedure is safe, effective and does not require a long recovery period.

Who is this procedure suitable for?

• You experience vaginal dryness;
• You experience discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse;
• Your dryness is related to the menopause or hormonal changes;
• You have noticed a reduction in natural lubrication;
• You want a natural, non-hormonal treatment;
• You do not have any active infections in the vagina or urinary tract;
• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding;
• You do not have any blood clotting disorders.

Detailed information about the procedure

How should you prepare for the procedure?

Your doctor will provide specific instructions on how best to prepare. It is recommended that you avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs or anticoagulants for a few days before the procedure, as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. Alcohol also increases the likelihood of redness and bruising.

What happens during the procedure?

PRP treatment begins with taking a blood sample from the patient. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to extract platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Once the PRP is ready, the doctor will inject the appropriate amount of PRP into carefully marked areas using a fine needle. Most people experience only mild discomfort during the procedure. The entire procedure takes around 30–45 minutes.

What happens after the procedure?

After the procedure, the doctor may monitor you for up to 15 minutes to ensure you do not experience any side effects, including dizziness, nausea or an allergic reaction.

After the procedure, it is recommended that you:

• Maintain good personal hygiene;
• Avoid saunas, swimming pools and hot baths for 2–3 days;
