CO2 laser energy is currently used widely for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have vaginal atrophy due to the lack of estrogen. However, its effect on premenopausal women with hormonally-mediated vulvar vestibulodynia is unknown. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of CO2 laser on young women and compare it to topical lidocaine.
