    Abstract Despite significant controversy, vaginal laser therapy continues to be used for treatment of many gynecologic and pelvic conditions including vaginal atrophy, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, urinary incontinence and pelvic pain. This commentary reviews the controversy surrounding vaginal laser therapy and summarizes the important distinction between ablative and non-ablative vaginal lasers. While much research is still needed, the article describes what is important for healthcare professionals to know before making the decision to integrate this technology into their clinical practice.

    Abstract Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is an effective means of treating muscle spasm and pain. A novel near-infrared laser system has been commercialized for the treatment of myofascial pelvic pain in women (SoLá Therapy, UroShape, LLC). This study was undertaken to determine if this device is capable of delivering therapeutic levels of irradiance to the pelvic muscles and to identify the surface irradiance required to achieve this goal. This novel class IV near-infrared laser and transvaginal applicator were used to deliver near-infrared light energy through the vaginal mucosa of an adult Suffolk/Dorset Ewe. Irradiance was measured on the surface of the levator ani muscle, inside the levator ani muscle, and inside the bladder. Measurements were taken at powers of 5 W and 0.5 W. 3.0% of vaginal surface irradiance was measured inside of the levator ani muscle. 4.4% of vaginal surface irradiance was measured inside the bladder. At 5 W, the novel laser system provided a surface irradiance of 738 mW/cm
