Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are nonpregnant women aged 20 to 45 with severe stress urinary incontinence who have not responded to conservative treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with certain medical conditions such as active infections, malignancies, or those on anticoagulant therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining platelets rich plasma (PRP) with PDO threads for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women aged 20 to 45. It will involve 10 women who have severe urodynamic stress incontinence and have previously failed conservative treatments. The intervention will be conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. Participants will be monitored for improvements in their symptoms and overall quality of life following the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a new, effective treatment option for women suffering from stress urinary incontinence.
How similar studies have gone: While this specific combination of treatments is novel, similar approaches using PRP for various conditions have shown promise in other studies.
