L

aser vulvovaginal rejuvenation is an option for vaginal

atrophy and SUI. The close association between the lower

urinary tract and female reproductive organs could explain

the genitourinary syndrome of the menopause, but also

the early ones of SUI after delivery and other gynecological

operation during the reproductive ages. Stress urinary

incontinence (SUI) is defined as involuntary urine loss that

is provoked by increase in intra-abdominal pressure, usually

during physical activity, and upon coughing, sneezing,

laughing or when engaging in intercourse. Bladder control

problems also affect younger people, especially women who

have just given birth. In fact, one in four women over 18

years old experience episodes of leaking urine involuntarily.

Even mild symptoms affect social, sexual, interpersonal

and professional function. One of the contributing factors

to stress incontinence in menopausal women is loss of the

para-urethral vascular plexus that surrounds the proximal

urethra. In the pre-menopausal state, this lush network of

vessels serves as a “hydraulic sphincter” to augment other

continence mechanisms. In the postmenopausal state, this

vascular plexus becomes flat and ineffective. To solve this

problem, we use for our patients Femi Lift Laser therapy and

PRP therapy, but also HRT- hormonal replacement therapy,

local or combined local and systemic. Sometimes it is not

enough to perform laser or /and PRP. NE Collagenesis and

remodeling of the connective tissue of the lamina propria is

achieved in response to the controlled injury caused by the

deep thermal effect after Femi lift therapy. Mature collagen

fibers increase of collagen fiber strain neovascularization:

new blood vessel formation, improved lubrication, normalize

vaginal pH and flora. A strong, fast and effective results after

laser procedure in the treatment of the SUI problems could

not be seen after PRP only for this indication. Our experience

shows that sometimes it is not enough to apply laser therapy

only as well. Individual approach to patients with SUI

problems is obligatory.
