Article Synopsis
- Postmenopausal vaginal discomfort, often caused by vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), leads to symptoms like dryness, itching, and pain during sex, affecting women’s sexual health.
- A pilot study involving 84 sexually active postmenopausal women aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a micro-ablative fractional CO laser in relieving VVA symptoms and enhancing sexual function.
- Results showed significant improvements post-treatment, with nearly all participants returning to normal vaginal health scores and higher sexual function scores, indicating that the fractional CO laser is a promising treatment for VVA.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) encompasses a range of distressing symptoms in the vulvovaginal and/or bladder-urethral regions related to menopause changes, negatively influencing woman's quality of life and sexual activity. Fractional micro-ablative CO laser therapy has shown the potential to reinstate the vaginal epithelium to a condition akin to the premenopausal state, thereby ameliorating the subjective symptoms associated with GSM. We conducted a prospective, pilot study in 73 sexually active postmenopausal women treated with CO laser for their GSM symptoms, while assessing Vaginal Health Index Score (VHIS) and sexual function through the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Questionnaire.

Due to the overlap with sciatica symptoms, the diagnosis of sciatica DIE is difficult yet crucial, as it results in permanent neural damage if left untreated. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who experienced a three-year-long and recently exacerbating pain in her right leg, accompanied by a tingling sensation and weakness in her right leg and foot, with difficulty walking.
