Urinary Incontinence Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy of the Vagina for Treatment of Urogenital Symptoms in Women
This is a prospective observational study of women undergoing vaginal treatment with the fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) laser for various urogenital symptoms.
Fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) laser treatment of the vaginal tissue has been proposed as a treatment for various genitourinary symptoms, including vaginal itching, burning, dryness, dyspareunia (difficult or painful sexual intercourse), dysuria (painful or difficult urination), nocturia (waking at night to urinate), incontinence (the involuntary loss of urine), urine frequency, urine urgency, and urinary tract infection (UTI). Case report and case series data suggest that laser treatment of the vaginal tissues is well tolerated by patients and does not pose serious risks to the patient. Several case series demonstrate improvements in vulvovaginal and urinary symptoms, and in sexual function. However, these studies are from a select few centers, are small, and are also biased in that the laser treatment is only available to patients who are able to pay for it. Additionally, most studies report only on vulvovaginal symptoms, despite increasing use of laser for urinary symptoms. Several recent editorials have called for larger studies with longer follow-up and high quality outcome measures. This study has been designed to address these needs. This is a prospective observational study of women undergoing vaginal treatment with the fCO2 laser for a wide range of patients with vulvovaginal, sexual and/or urologic complaints. The effects of fCO2 therapy will be evaluated by various physical assessments and patient questionnaires. ;
