Will PRP help with tight/painful pelvic floor (vaginal) muscles?

Question

I was diagnosed with vulvadynia and the doctor finally pinpointed my pain which comes from the muscles at the entrance of my vagina (i currently can not have sex as it is too painful). I was told I have a weak pelvic floor yet muscles that are contracting constantly and do not know how to relax. Physical Therapy is not helping much. Would PRP make a difference in the muscles?

Amy Klein, DO · Answer

Vulvodynia can be difficult to treat.  There are many standard therapies, but often times results are marginal and the medications used can have some pretty intolerable side effects.  PRP is platelet rich plasma derived from your own blood, so the side effects and risks are minimal.  There is not a wealth of medical literature regarding PRP for vulvodynia at this time so the use is off-label, but studies are underway. Consult with your doctor regarding all of the treatment options and decide if PRP is right for you.  It can help and is generally low risk.
