Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a kind of platelet concentrate obtained from whole blood after centrifugation, with amount of growth factors and protein. PRP is widely used in orthopedics, dermatology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery and cosmetology, because of its functions in tissue regeneration, wound healing and scar repair, but PRP is less used in gynecology up to now. Recent studies have shown that PRP can promote growth of endometrium and folliculogenesis. Great progresses had been made in treatment of thin endometrium (TE), improvement of endometrial receptivity (ER) and restoration of ovarian function. PRP has provided new research direction and therapeutic means for many gynecological diseases. The author intends to elaborate on preparation and classification, and current status of clinical application of PRP in gynecological diseases.
