Summary

This trial tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) around the urethra can safely reduce stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women. PRP is made from each participant's own blood and contains growth factors that may help repair tissue. About 70 women will receive monthly injections for four months, and researchers will track changes in leakage, urinary symptoms, and side effects. The goal is to see if this minimally invasive approach offers a viable alternative for women who are not candidates for surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injected around the urethra
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a minimally invasive treatment option for postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence who cannot have surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study, and PRP's effectiveness for this condition is not yet proven. Possible risks include injection-related discomfort, infection, or no improvement in symptoms.
