Light-based vaginal therapy devices and methods for use

Abstract

Light-based vaginal therapy devices are provided for a plurality of bacterial and fungal infections. In one example, the device includes a housing comprising a body sized for introduction into a vagina; one or more light sources configured to emit light outwardly from the body; and one or more sensors carried by the body configured to measure one or more parameters of the user, e.g., a sensor for measuring pH or temperature within a vagina into which the housing is inserted. A processor coupled to the sensor(s) receives signals from the sensor to analyze the signals to monitor the user's pH to identify potential infection, temperature to monitor the user's menstrual cycle, and the like. The device may be self-contained, e.g., 10 including the light source(s) and processor within the body, or the light source(s) and processor may be provided in a remote controller.
