Laser Treatment for Patients with Vulvodynia and Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome: a Case Series

Women diagnosed with Vulvodynia and IC/BPS underwent combined laser treatment using Vaginal Erbium:YAG Laser (VEL) and Neodymium:YAG laser (Nd:YAG). Various parameters were evaluated, including the Vulvodynia test, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) for pain, Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index and Problem Index (ICSI and ICPI), Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Symptom Score (PUF), and mean urination volume/daily urination frequency in a 3-day urination diary. Treatment was administered once a month for three months, with follow-up evaluations at 6 and 12 months.
