Persistent Vaginal Fungal Infection

The Place of Laser Applications in Persistent Vaginal Yeast Infection

Persistent and recurrent vaginal yeast infection is a condition that reduces the quality of life for many women.

These infections, which recur frequently despite drug treatments, are very annoying for both women and their husbands and partners.

At this point, laser applications are gaining popularity day by day as an alternative treatment method.

What are Laser Applications and How Do They Work?

Laser applications are the application of light of a certain wavelength to the targeted area by concentrating it.

Lasers used in vaginal fungus treatment target fungal cells and neutralize them.

At the same time, it strengthens the immune system by regenerating vaginal tissues and reduces the risk of recurrent infections.

In vaginal yeast laser treatment, the vaginal head of the laser enters the vaginal canal and fires hundreds of laser pulses at half-centimeter intervals.

It acts on the vaginal mucosa tissue by causing controlled micro-damage and creating heat increase. Blood flow increases due to the increase in heat, oxygenation and helps to regulate the flora by initiating regeneration/repair in tissues.
