NCT ID NCT06028009
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — made from a woman's own blood — into the vaginal wall can improve sexual function and reduce dryness caused by menopause. Thirty postmenopausal women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause will receive either PRP or a saline injection, and their symptoms will be tracked using questionnaires. The goal is to see if this simple procedure offers relief without hormones.

Active substance
platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, natural option to ease vaginal dryness and improve sexual function for women going through menopause.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. PRP injections are not yet proven for this use, and there is a risk of discomfort or infection from the procedure.
