Materials and Methods: Four sessions of PRP were administered to the anterior vaginal wall of 52 female patients with sexual dysfunction and orgasmic disorder [Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total score <= 26 orgasmic subdomain score <= 3.75]. Prior to the PRP administrations in each session, the FSFI validated in Turkish, the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS), the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R), and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale were used and in the final follow-up, and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) was performed and the results were analyzed. Results: Following the application of the PRP, the total FSFI score was observed as 27.88 +/- 4.80 and the total score was 26 and above in 50% of the patients (p<0.001). Orgasm subdomain scores were found as 2.11 +/- 1.20 before the PRP treatment and 4.48 +/- 1.14 afterwards (p<0.001). A significant change was observed in all sub-domains after PRP and it was observed that this change started after the first administration (p<0.001). A statistically significant increase was determined in FGSIS genital perception scores, which was significant between the and 2nd months (p<0.001). The FSDS-R scores showed a minimal increase in stress scores as the application number increased, but a statistically significant decrease was observed in the 4th administration (p<0.001). No statistically significant difference was found in Rosenberg Scale scores before and after treatment (p=0.389). High satisfaction was found in PGI-I scores. Conclusion: As a minimally invasive method, PRP administration to the distal anterior vaginal wall may improve female sexuality with high satisfaction.en10.4274/tjod.galenos.2019.23356info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPlatelet-rich plasmafemale sexual dysfunctionfemale orgasmic disorderArticle164228234N/A
