Introduction: Vaginal discomfort, related to genitourinary syndrome affects a large number of women, and is responsible for a significant deterioration in their quality of life. As such, its management represents a public health issue. Systemic or local treatments proposed, have a moderate and transient efficacy, with undesirable effects and contraindications caused by hormonal treatments. The CO2 laser is now part of the therapeutic arsenal, it is an effective alternative , without adverse effects, with growing interest.
Materials / method: I conducted a pilot, descriptive study, from January 2 to April 30, 2020, using a questionnaire, specific to the criteria of gynecological and urinary discomfort based on the FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index), the SFU grid and the impact of these symptoms on the quality of life of the patient. This questionnaire was distributed and completed by the patient, at each treatment session. The total number of patients included was 15, ranging in different age groups. The treatment time was 10 to 15 min. Three sessions were performed, spaced one month apart.
Results: All the patients were improved at the end of the 3rd laser session, regardless of the patient's initial indication, with a decrease or even disappearance of the symptoms of gynecological discomfort, as well as an improvement in the signs of mild to moderate urinary incontinence, and an improvement in the quality of life of all the patients. All the patients had a follow up one year later but none have called back since the end of their treatment to report failure, unwanted side effects, or premature return of symptoms. Clinical Randomized therapeutic trials are still needed.<<<<<
