Laser

The patients will be submitted to application of the Erbium Laser: YAG(yttrium aluminium garnet) 2940nm, SMOOTH mode developed by FOTONA.The vaginal canal will be accessed using a specific speculum. The 90 degree laser tip shall be used to perform 4 applications to the anterior and lateral vaginal wall at each of the 5 clock points (9,10:30,12,1:30,3 'o´-clock´), commencing at the back of the vagina, retracting in increments of 0.5cm, where 4 shots are made at each interval up to a distance 1cm short of the external opening of the urethra. After completion of this stage, the 90 degree tip shall be switched for the 360 degree tip, whereupon 4 additional applications shall be performed with 4 shots every 0.5 cm along the vaginal trajectory outlined above.
