Summary
This study tested whether low-level laser therapy could help with vaginal and urinary symptoms of menopause. Twenty-seven menopausal women received eight weekly laser treatments via a vaginal probe. The goal was to see if the approach is feasible and might improve vaginal health and reduce discomfort. Because there was no comparison group, the results are preliminary.
