Vaginal GSpot Injection: Again?


Listen Later

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections do not have formal FDA approval for specific clinical indications. PRP is regulated as an autologous blood product and is used "off-label" in clinical practice. However, there is substantial clinical evidence supporting its use for certain dental surgeries and musculoskeletal conditions, particularly lateral epicondylitis, knee osteoarthritis, and plantar fasciitis. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine notes that PRP is primarily used to treat tendinopathies and osteoarthritis, though clinical efficacy results remain mixed due to variability in PRP formulations and preparation methods. As of now, there are no FDA approved uses for PRP for gynecologic use, although there has been some evidence of possible benefit in vulvar dermatoses and possiblt ovarian function enhancement. But what about its use in the vagina for sexual pleasure? Injecting into the anterior vaginal wall (around the famed G-Spot location) is nothing new. Over a decade ago, a TV show introduced the masses to the “G-Spot amplication” shot which injected collagen to that area. But there was no data for this. Well, we are back to this idea in a new RCT in the Green Journal. Can PRP light up the vaginal fires of pleasure? Listen in for details.
