Abstract

Genito urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is newer terminology for vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA). Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is newer modality of treatment for GSM. This report is about a series of patients who presented with different symptoms of menopause diagnosed as GSM based on vaginal health index (VHI).The score varied between 2 to 25. VHI score less than 15 was taken as cut off to diagnosed genitor urinary syndrome of meno pause. Few patients had been earlier treated with conventional treatment who did not improve symptomatically. After obtaining ethics committee approval and informed consent from these patients , they were treated with autologous local injection of PRP and followed up to look for improvement of symptoms.VHI score was used follow up the patients. Improvement in scores was considered as a positive response after the treatment. PRP is newer, minimally invasive and alternative treatment modality in treating GSM with promising results.
