The efficacy of low-level laser therapy in alleviating genitourinary syndrome of menopause and stress urinary incontinence: the pilot study

Women with GSM experienced improvements in LUTS and sexual function, while women with SUI demonstrated improvements in urinary urgency and LUTS-related quality of life. This study represents the first application of LLLT in gynecology.
