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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — a solution made from a person's own blood, rich in platelets, injected into the vaginal wall and around the clitoris

What this could lead to

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

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants. The placebo effect is strong in sexual function studies, and results may not apply to all women.
