Abstract

Treatment of the vulvar epithelium with autologous platelet-rich plasma (a-PRP, plasmotherapy) is a revolutionary, alternative method in medicine that is based on observations of the role of platelets in the process of repair of injured body parts. The effect of natural growth factors in introducing platelets into the affected area is essential.The development of modern medicine has led to the development and implementation of autologous platelet-rich plasma therapy in the field of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The main problems addressed by the method are: atrophy of the epithelium of the external genital organs in postmenopausal women due to hormonal imbalance. The use of autologous plasma containing activated platelets allows the local application of platelet-derived growth factors. The aim is to restore women’s quality of life and ensure a comfortable life after menopause.
