Abstract

The injectable use of hyaluronic acid in the vaginal walls has demonstrated encouraging results in improving the symptoms of vaginal atrophy. The therapy has not yet settled, however, due to reports of associated non-thrombotic pulmonar embolism, in which an overdose of hyaluronic acid was injected into the deep layer of the anterior vaginal wall, an area of high vascular risk, by non-physicians. We have used a simple and safer technique since 2019, whereby only 1ml of hyaluronic acid is injected superficially, in the submucosal plane, through a blunt-tipped cannula, in the posterior wall, with excellent results and fewer complications.
