BACKGROUND

O-O therapy is an alternative medical treatment that introduces a mixture of O-O into the body for therapeutic purposes. The objective of this study is to evaluate its margins of applicability in the eradication of HPV infection from the lower gynecological tract by means of vaginal insufflation.

METHODS

An in-depth review of the international literature on this topic is carried out; in addition, O-O therapy is compared with other treatments currently available in terms of its advantages, disadvantages, and exploited technologies.

RESULTS

The possible benefits and limitations of O-O vaginal insufflation are explained in detail; overall, it appears to be an interesting tool as part of complex management to prevent HPV-related cancers of the lower gynecological tract in infected patients.

CONCLUSIONS

The rationale and guidelines of this innovative procedure have been successfully illustrated, providing the technical specifications for further developments.
