A pilot study and short clinical outcome of autologous nucleated cell
transplantation in the treatment of vaginal relaxation syndrome patients
Abstract
Objective: To preliminarily investigate the efficacy and safety of
autologous nucleated cell transplantation (ANCT) for treating Vaginal
Relaxation Syndrome (VRS) patients. Methods and Samples: Ten married
women with vaginal relaxation syndrome were selected from January 2019
to July 2019. All participants were treated via autologous nucleated
cell transplantation once a month for three consecutive times, and
followed up for 1 month after each treatment. Main Outcome Measures: The
degree of vaginal relaxation, the female sexual function index (FSFI),
vaginal health index score (VHIS) and subjective symptom improvement
scale (PGI-C) were conducted. Results: All the 10 cases successfully
completed the ANCT treatment. After ANCT treatment, there were
significant improvements in the degree of vaginal relaxation. with the
detailed date including (-1.06±0.78, P<0.01) in first time,
(-1.30±0.91, P<0.05) in twice time and (-1.5±0.77,
P<0.01) three times. Furthermore, the vaginal health index
(VHIS) after first treatment (1.63±0.92, P<0.001), twice
(4.33±1.51, P<0.001) and three times (3.65±1.77, P<
0.001) were significantly improved. Moreover, the scores of female
sexual function index (FSFI) after first treatment (13.50±8.55), twice
(18.17 ±6.46) and three times (19.65±6.7) were also substantial
variation (P<0.001). According to the subjective symptom
improvement score , The study indicates that ANCT can effectively
improve the degree of vaginal relaxation, sexual function and vaginal
health of patients with VRS, as well as vaginal compactness, wetness,
air sensation and vaginal secretions. Conclusion: The novel ANCT method
heighten the quality of sexual life may be a better choice for
non-surgical treatment of private plastic surgery for VRS patients.
