Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of this study is to elucidate factors affecting treatment efficacy of vaginal laser therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Laser thermotherapy can increase the stiffness of vaginal wall. It has been reported that vaginal laser therapy can be used to treat stress urinary incontinence. However, factor affecting treatment efficacy of vaginal laser therapy remains unknown. Thus the main aim of this study is to elucidate factors affecting treatment efficacy of vaginal laser therapy. Besides, the durability of vaginal laser therapy will be assessed. The above knowledge should be helpful for clinical decision making.
