INTRAVAGINAL THERAPY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A therapeutic device that delivers therapy to areas within a female reproductive system via a vaginal channel, the therapeutic device comprising:
- a housing that is sized to reach at least a partially inserted position within the vaginal channel;
a first light source disposed on the housing that delivers light within the female reproductive system when the housing is in the at least the partially inserted position within the vaginal channel; and
the light delivered by the light sources being selected to provide a therapeutic result.

Abstract
An intravaginal treatment device (ITD) provides therapeutic light and fluid treatments. Vision systems throughout supporting networks and devices allow for directed control of the treatment processes. The ITD uses illumination to gather various types of imager data that is used to identify and conditions, monitor the treatment process, and evaluate treatment efficacy. Specific frequency light emissions and associated fluids are used to reduce overabundant flora, at least assist in elimination of fungal, viral and bacterial invaders, and enhance the detection process. Several configurations and sizes of ITDs with light and fluid therapy, also have a built in optics assembly (camera, light sources, etc.) for capturing intravaginal still images and video of vaginal channels, cervix, cervical channels, uterus and fallopian tubes. Some ITD configurations are also wearable and include full fluid delivery infrastructure unlike some other ITDs with external components. Supporting devices include local and remotely located computing devices such as laptops, smart phones, and independent monitors. ITDs can be fully or partially inserted via the vaginal channel, and operate in a stand-alone mode or pursuant to remote control. Therapy procedures may be preset or programmed to deliver continuous, periodic and scheduled performance with various underlying parameters defined in the preset or programming processes.
