Laser therapy for vaginal atrophy

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) include genital symptoms of dryness, burning, irritation, but also sexual symptoms of lack of lubrication, discomfort or pain, and impaired function, as well as urinary symptoms of urgency, dysuria and recurrent urinary tract infections. Reported prevalence rates of vaginal dryness due to vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) or GSM vary, but it is estimated that approximately 15% of premenopausal and up to 57% of postmenopausal women experience this condition. Local vaginal estrogen administration is the treatment of choice for VVA atrophy, although lacking long time efficacy and safety.
