Abstract: CO2 laser treatment is an easy and safe method for reducing the symptoms of stress urinary 
incontinence (SUI). The operating principle of the device is based on minimally invasive procedures, 
where laser energy stimulates tissue regeneration and collagen production, leading to the 
strengthening of the vaginal wall and a reduction in SUI symptoms. 
Urinary incontinence is a widespread global health problem that, although not life-threatening, 
significantly affects the quality of life of women, leading to physical, psychological, and social 
consequences [3,4,5]. Stress urinary incontinence is a specific condition affecting women of active 
age, causing symptoms related to daily activities that cannot be limited or reduced [12]. Women with 
SUI often feel embarrassed to share their condition, which leads to a serious negative impact on their 
social and cultural life. 
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the positive effect on the quality of life of patients with SUI 
undergoing CO2 laser treatment. The study includes an analysis of the emotional and social 
discomfort associated with SUI. A CO2 laser device was used for treating SUI as a minimally invasive 
procedure that strengthens the vaginal tissue and supportive structures, improving SUI symptoms. 
The treatment is performed in outpatient settings and does not require anesthesia. Surveying 107 
patients diagnosed with SUI shows a significant improvement in their emotional and social well
being after the third procedure.
