Changes to your pelvic health can show up gradually or suddenly, whether because of aging, childbirth, or other shifts in your body. Some women notice a difference in how their vaginal tissues feel or function, which can include mild urinary leakage. These changes may be difficult to talk about, but they affect many women in different ways.
If you are looking for a non-surgical option that may help improve the health and function of vaginal tissues, we offer O Plus™ therapy at Priority You MD. This treatment takes advantage of your body’s ability to heal and provides relief from symptoms of vaginal laxity in a short, minimally invasive treatment.
What Is Stress Urinary Incontinence?
Stress urinary incontinence happens when physical pressure on the bladder leads to urine leakage. Weakness in the pelvic floor muscles or thinning of the vaginal and urethral tissues can reduce support for the bladder and urethra. Stress urinary incontinence is noticeable during everyday actions like laughing, sneezing, exercising, or lifting. With this type of incontinence, only a small amount of urinary leakage occurs, but it can be enough that many people feel the need to wear protective liners and avoid certain activities that they may have enjoyed before.
Why Pelvic Support Weakens Over Time
Pelvic support structures rely on muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that are all working together. Each of these can stretch or lose tone as the body changes. Hormonal shifts, especially a drop in estrogen, can lead to thinning tissues and reduced collagen production. Pregnancy and vaginal delivery may strain or injure muscles that help control bladder function.
Aging also affects how quickly tissues repair themselves, which can leave pelvic structures more vulnerable. As this support weakens, the bladder and urethra may shift slightly, increasing the chance of urine leakage during physical movement.
What Is O Plus Therapy?
O Plus™ therapy is a regenerative treatment that combines platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells to support vaginal and urinary tissue health. We administer the treatment through a series of shallow injections into specific areas near the vaginal wall and clitoris. The injections stimulate repair processes using your own biological materials, which can help restore tissue tone and improve pelvic function.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma is derived from your own blood. We take a small blood sample and prepare it to separate the platelets. These concentrated platelets are rich in growth factors that may help support tissue healing and increase blood flow in the area where they are injected. When used in intimate areas, PRP can encourage healthier, firmer tissue.
Stem Cells
Stem cells are unique cells with the ability to develop into different types of tissue depending on where they are placed. In O Plus therapy, we use ethically sourced mesenchymal stem cells obtained from donated umbilical cord tissue. These stem cells are screened and processed according to strict quality and safety standards. Their purpose in this treatment is to support and amplify the regenerative signals initiated by PRP, and they add an extra layer of support for tissue structure and function.
How O Plus Supports Pelvic Tissue and Urinary Control
O Plus uses regenerative ingredients to support areas that have weakened due to aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes. The PRP component delivers concentrated growth factors that help stimulate repair in the tissues surrounding the urethra and vaginal wall. Stem cells add another layer of support by encouraging tissue regeneration and improving structural integrity. As tissue quality improves, it can become easier to manage urine flow during physical activities like coughing or exercise.
What Else Can O Plus Address?
O Plus is also used to improve symptoms related to vaginal dryness, irritation, or reduced sensitivity. These concerns may appear alongside urinary leakage or arise independently as tissue quality declines. The regenerative properties of PRP and stem cells can support better circulation, collagen renewal, and hydration in the treatment area. Some women report improved comfort during intimacy or enhanced responsiveness after completing the treatment series.
The O Plus Treatment
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for O Plus therapy if you are experiencing mild urinary leakage or want to improve the health of your vaginal tissues without surgery or hormones. Women who have noticed changes after childbirth or during menopause can often benefit from these treatments. You should be in overall good health with no active infections or untreated gynecologic conditions. We will cover all of this and more during your consultation.
What Are Treatments Like?
O Plus is performed in a setting that is clinical, comfortable, and private. We begin by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from other blood components. Once we have extracted the platelet-rich plasma, we combine it with the stem cells. After applying a topical numbing cream, we inject the mixture into targeted areas around the vaginal wall and urethral region. The process usually takes less than an hour from start to finish.
How Long Is Downtime After O Plus?
Downtime is minimal following O Plus therapy, though we may recommend avoiding sexual activity for 48 hours or more, until you feel comfortable again. You can return to normal daily tasks immediately after your visit. You may notice some mild sensitivity or swelling in the treatment area that should resolve quickly. Some women choose to rest for the remainder of the day, while others resume work or errands without delay. We provide aftercare instructions to help you care for the treated area and support tissue recovery.
Does O Plus Treat All Types of Urinary Leakage?
O Plus can support tissues that influence mild stress urinary incontinence, but it is not meant to treat every form of urinary leakage. Some women benefit more from a combined approach that includes Kegels, pelvic floor physical therapy, and changes to fluid intake or bladder habits.
In certain cases, medication or surgical options may be necessary to fully address more advanced or complex bladder issues. We assess each situation individually and can help you decide whether O Plus makes sense based on your symptoms and how your pelvic floor is functioning.
