Use of Growth Factors for Vulvo/Vaginal Bio-Stimulation

Vulvo-vaginal atrophy as a main symptom of the Genito Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is a consequence of aging, particularly after menopause as a result of follicular ovarian follicle depletion and consequently low estrogen levels. Anatomical structures derived from the urogenital sinus, such as the distal urethra trigone and vestibule, are the most affected areas because of the high concentrations of alfa- and beta-estrogen receptors. The most common symptoms associated with vulvo-vaginal atrophy are dyspareunia, vaginal dryness, irritation, recurrent urinary tract infection and urinary incontinence, which negatively affect the patient's quality of life and sexuality. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate a protocol with topical growth factors that seeks to activate collagen and elastin at a molecular level, and thus restore all vaginal functions such as secretion, absorption, elasticity, lubrication and vaginal epithelium thickness.
