Anterior Vaginal Wall Augmentation using Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid versus Platelet Rich Plasma: A Prospective Pilot Study Assessing Female Sexual Function - Abstract
Background: Augmentation of the anterior vaginal wall, commonly referred to as G-spot amplification (GSA), has gained increasing interest as a minimally
invasive procedure aimed at improving female sexual satisfaction. Injectable therapies such as cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
have been proposed for this purpose; however, comparative clinical data evaluating sexual outcomes remain limited.
Objective: To compare the impact of anterior vaginal wall augmentation using cross-linked HA versus PRP on female sexual function, assessed using the
Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).
Methods: A prospective comparative pilot study was conducted including 16 sexually active women undergoing anterior vaginal wall augmentation.
Patients were allocated into two groups: a HA group (n = 8) treated with cross-linked HA (Armonía®) and a PRP group (n = 8) treated with autologous PRP.
Sexual function was evaluated using the FSFI questionnaire at baseline and at 3 months post-treatment. Changes in total FSFI scores and domain-specific
outcomes were analyzed within and between groups.
Results: Both treatment groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in total FSFI scores compared with baseline. The HA group showed
a mean improvement exceeding 68%, with particularly notable gains in desire, arousal, and orgasm domains. The PRP group also exhibited significant
improvement, although to a slightly lesser extent. Between-group comparison revealed a statistically significant difference favoring HA treatment (p < 0.05).
No major adverse events were reported.
Conclusion: Anterior vaginal wall augmentation using both cross-linked HA and PRP appears to be a safe and effective minimally invasive approach to
enhance female sexual satisfaction. HA demonstrated a greater short-term improvement in FSFI scores, although PRP also provided meaningful clinical benefits.
Larger randomized controlled studies with longer follow-up are warranted.
