Vulvovaginal irritation is a frequent complaint among postmenopausal women. Common symptoms of vaginal atrophy include dryness, itching, burning and dyspareunia. This pilot study will assess the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined to hyaluronic acid (HA) to relieve vulvovaginal dryness in patients who cannot benefit from reference treatments (hormonal therapies).To achieve this, 20 patients suffering from vulvovaginal dryness will be treated with one session of injections in the vulva, the posterior vaginal wall and the perineum, and followed-up for 6 months. Improvement of vaginal dryness will be primarily appreciated through Friedmann score and pH value, and secondarily through the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), as measured at baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after the treatment.
