Cervical ectropion is sometimes a debilitating condition, because of recurrent purulent vaginal discharge, post coital bleeding and pelvic pain. Autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment, which promote the natural healing. Here we have observed the treatment results of cervical ectropion. PRP treatment successfully induced the reepithelization of cervical ectropion and may become a non-invasive treatment option.
