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.
