Introduction And Hypothesis:
This report aims to prospectively describe the effectiveness and safety of injected cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) for the treatment of chronic vulvar fissures.
Methods:
A descriptive prospective case series design including 15 patients affected by chronic vulvar fissures who were treated with cross-linked HA filler between December 2020 and July 2021. The validated 21-item Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) was used to evaluate the results from baseline up to 9 months after the HA infiltration.
Results:
A total of 15 patients suffering from chronic vulvar fissures were treated with an injection of 19 mg/mL HA filler. We found a significant improvement in VSQ scores at the end of the treatment compared to baseline. Patients reported excellent tolerance of the procedure, and no complications were recorded.
Conclusions:
Cross-linked HA infiltration of the vulvar vestibule and posterior vaginal wall appeared to be a promising approach for chronic vulvar fissures.
