What supplements support optimal healing after vaginal laser?
Supplements that support healing after vaginal laser include vitamin C, zinc, vitamin A, and high-quality protein sources if dietary intake is inadequate. Always consult your clinician before starting any supplement.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis and immune function. Zinc supports cell division and repair. Vitamin A aids epithelial healing. If your diet is limited, supplements may help, but high-dose or unnecessary supplementation should be avoided unless advised by a healthcare professional. Evidence for over-the-counter collagen supplements is limited. For more, see NHS Vitamins & Minerals and BNF Vitamins.
Clinical Context
