Abstract

Despite the emerging market in fractional-pixel CO2 lasers to treat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) in menopausal women, the effect of the laser treatment on vaginal tissue remains poorly understood. We developed an intravaginal OCT endoscope that simultaneously obtains structural and vascular information during the vaginal laser procedure. Based on the monitoring and statistical analysis of the Vaginal Epithelial Thickness (VET) and Blood Vessel Density (BVD) along with the treatment for months, laser treatment shows a positive impact on vaginal health. This system can serve as a noninvasive biopsy tool in gynecological studies.
