Intervention Type: Other, Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (CVV) is an infectious process of the female genitourinary tract, an important health issue due to the high incidence and difficulties encountered in the treatment. Therefore, new therapeutic modalities are sought with the capacity to minimize drug side-effects and to reduce recurrent cases. The objective of this stufy is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological response of the 405 nm blue light emitting diode in the treatment of women with vulvovaginal candidiasis and in women with healthy gentourine treatment. A clinical trial was conducted involving 40 women, divided into two groups, the first group consisting of women with a confirmed CVV diagnosis and a second group formed by women with a healthy genitourinary tract, without symptoms and symptoms of the disease. Both groups underwent clinical evaluation and examination with endocervice collection with gynecologist before and after a session of application of the Blue Light Emitting Diode of 405 nm, lasting 4.5 minutes. There will also be an evaluation of the effects of the diary through the questionnaire answered before and after the participants' treatment. It is expected that the 405 nm blue LED will destroy the CVV fungus demonstrated by laboratory examination and also improve the signs and results analyzed by the gynecologist and participants.

Treatments
Experimental: blue LED 405 nm in vulvovaginal candidiasis
It will be applied the a 405 nm blue LED in a closed room by a physiotherapist for 30 minutes. The apparatus shall be supported on a tripod, statically, externally, 5 cm away from the vulva and vagina region, with the patient naked, in gynecological stretcher and lithotomy position. The protocol will consist of only one session. This part of the study will see if there is fungicidal effect of the blue led 405 nm
Experimental: blue LED 405 nm in healthy women
It will be applied the a 405 nm blue LED in a closed room by a physiotherapist for 30 minutes. The apparatus shall be supported on a tripod, statically, externally, 5 cm away from the vulva and vagina region, with the patient naked, in gynecological stretcher and lithotomy position. The protocol will consist of only one session.This part of the study will see the security and the effects of the blue led 405 nm in healthy vaginal microflora
No_intervention: Sociodemographic data of women with vulvovaginal candidiasis
The women will answer some questions of the anamnesis as: Age, weight, height, form of intimate hygiene, and others to evaluate possible correlations of these data with the presence of vulvovaginal candidiasis
