Could a 'Blood Injection' boost sexual pleasure? new trial investigates
NCT ID NCT05769283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a one-time injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the vaginal wall and around the clitoris can improve sexual function and satisfaction in sexually active women. Fifty-two women received either the PRP injection or a placebo (saline) injection and completed questionnaires about their sexual experience before and after treatment. The goal was to see if this simple, natural approach could enhance desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and reduce pain.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-hormonal, natural option to improve sexual satisfaction in women.
