Сучасні аспекти використання лазерної терапії у гінекологічній практиці

Abstract

The article highlights the latest approaches to the use of CO2-laser in modern gynecological practice. After all, patients with urinary incontinence, urogenital disorders in the menopausal period, vaginal relaxation syndrome, vaginal wall prolapse and scarring of the vulva make the main contingent of aesthetic gynecology offices in Ukraine. The main reasons that lead to the occurrence of these complications include changes in the genital organs during pregnancy and childbirth, the tension of the pelvic floor diaphragm muscles, connective tissue dysplasia, estrogen deficiency and, as a consequence, the loss of collagen and elastin in the tissues of the genital organs. Today, there are a number of techniques that allow the correction of these complications - conservative, surgical, physiotherapy and psychological. The newest method in the treatment of vagina and vulva atrophic is the application of CO2-laser, which is widely used outside of Ukraine. Under the influence of laser in tissues remodeling processes occur as a response to their damage, enhanced synthesis of collagen and elastic fibers. The positive effect of the latest technique is highlighted in the works of Italian researchers. However, in Ukraine, this method is not common, and the experience of its own use is not sufficient, which led to the prospect of further research. Key words: aesthetic gynecology, urinary incontinence, vaginal mucosa atrophy, vaginal wall prolapse, vaginal deformation, CO2-laser.
