Gynolight

Developing home light therapy for menopause-related vaginal and vulvar symptoms

Falling oestrogen levels around menopause can weaken vaginal, vulvar and urinary tissues. The resulting symptoms include intimate discomfort, burning, pain during sex and urinary problems, affecting everyday comfort and sexual health.

Gynolight is developing a non-hormonal light-therapy device for vaginal and vulvar symptoms linked to menopause. Red and infrared LEDs and a smartphone-controlled programme are designed to let women manage sessions independently at home.
