Platelet-rich Plasma for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as "the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion or on sneezing or coughing. The treatment varies from Kegel exercise, bulking agents, vaginal LASER, to surgery. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulates angiogenesis, promoting vascular in-growth and fibroblast proliferation, enhancing wound-healing in both soft and hard tissue. PRP regulates tissue reconstruction and has been previously used in orthopedics and plastic surgery. The previous study revealed some promising results for PRP use in pelvic floor dysfunction, including SUI. We aim to evaluate the effect of PRP on female SUI.
