Effects of Vaginal Oxytocin Gel on Vaginal Cytologic Parameters in Postmenopausal Woman

Vaginal Atrophy Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Vaginal Oxytocin Gel on Vaginal Cytologic Parameters in Postmenopausal Woman: A Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Vulvovaginal atrophy affects around 90% of postmenopausal women who may present with symptoms such as dryness, irritation, itching, burning, and dyspareunia that negatively affect the quality of life. Topical estrogen is recommended for the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women and the FDA approved it. But it may increase the risk of breast and endometrial cancer. The oxytocin hormone also promotes positive social behavior, stress regulation, and female sexual arousal. Many previous studies show that topical oxytocin is useful for reducing vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women.

Random and conducted on 56 postmenopausal women who meet the inclusion criteria and excluded participants that have exclusion criteria. All women provided written informed consent before data collection. 1. st Visit: The vagina was assessed regarding infection and any abnormal discharge. The participants were evaluated vaginal signs of vaginal atrophy by per vaginal examination and assessed vaginal health index score. The subjective symptoms were assessed by The most bothersome score. The vaginal pH was tested with a Nitrazine paper. The vaginal swab was done and the specimen was sent for a cytological test - vaginal maturation index evaluation (VMI). The participants were separated into two groups 1. Oxytocin gel group and 2. Placebo gel group then applied gel 1 ml. (400IU of oxytocin in oxytocin gel) per day for 8 weeks consecutively.
