Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Women with SUI were enrolled. Pre-treatment evaluation included Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory 6 (POPDI-6), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Urinary Distress Inventory Short Form (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7), pelvic examination, and urodynamic study (UDS) (including pad test).

10 milliliter blood was taken from each participant. The RegenKit-THT (RegenLab SA, Switzerland) was used to separation of plasma and blood cells. 3 milliliter PRP was extracted from the bottom of the plasma. PRP was injected into anterior vaginal wall, near external urethral sphincter, and into endopelvic fascia. The participants received one treatment per month for three times. Follow-up schedule is as below: 1st month (transperineal ultrasound and questionnaires), 3rd month (UDS and questionnaires), 6th month (questionnaires), and 12th month (questionnaires).
