PRP and stress incontinence: what you need to know

In recent years, the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has increased in medicine. PRP is a concentrate of platelets extracted from the patient's blood. It contains a high concentration of growth factors that can help heal and regenerate tissue. In this article we will look at the use of PRP in the treatment of stress incontinence.

What is stress incontinence?

A sudden sneeze, a hearty laugh, and suddenly it happens - an unwanted loss of urine. That's stress incontinence.

Stress incontinence, also known as stress incontinence, is a form of urinary incontinence in which involuntary loss of urine occurs under physical stress. It is a common condition, especially in women. There are several treatment options for stress incontinence, including pelvic floor muscle training, medications and surgery.

Causes of stress incontinence

There are many factors that can lead to this, including childbirth, age and certain surgeries.

Symptoms of stress incontinence

The main indicator is involuntary loss of urine during physical exertion. But there are also other signs to look out for.

How does PRP work for stress incontinence?

The idea behind PRP is regeneration. By injecting PRP into the affected tissue, healing and strengthening can be promoted.

The procedure explains

It's less invasive than you think! A small blood sample is taken, the PRP is separated and then injected into the desired areas.

Advantages of PRP treatment

In addition to directly treating stress incontinence, PRP can also improve overall well-being and boost self-confidence.

Platelets are rich in various growth factors and cytokines that promote soft tissue healing.

A major advantage of PRP is that it is derived from the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of side effects.

PRP and stress incontinence

According to a Study by Cheng-Yu Long pRP can help alleviate the symptoms of SUI. The treatment consists of an injection of PRP into the anterior vaginal mucosa.

What does the research say?

The Results are promising. Many women reported relief of their symptoms both 1 month and 6 months after treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of local injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

PRP was found to be effective in relieving SUI symptoms both 1 month and 6 months after treatment, with no significant side effects reported. There appeared to be a trend that the treatment success rate with cured and improved symptoms was slightly higher in the younger group, although this was not statistically significant (P = 0.07).

Patients reported no significant changes in sexual function before and after treatment.

This is the first study to report the treatment effect of PRP for SUI in women. The results suggest that PRP may be a treatment option for mild to moderate cases of SUI.
