Overview

Female patients with either stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or vaginal wall weakness and prolapse will be evaluated for vaginal elasticity using vaginal tactile imaging both before and after Carbon Dioxide laser treatment.

Patients will be recruited and sign a consent form. The patients included are patients with SUI or vaginal wall weakness and prolapse. Each participant undergoes 3 laser treatments 4 weeks apart. Assessment of vaginal elasticity via vaginal tactile imaging will be performed at 3 different points: * Before the first treatment session (baseline). * Before and after each treatment session. * 3 months post final treatment. Every patient will serve as her own control. Demographic, gynecologic and obstetric history will be obtained from patients' electronic files.
