Filter by:Menopause is a physiological event and is defined as the loss of ovarian follicular activity, with consequent permanent cessation of menstrual cycles. Its diagnosis is made retrospectively after 12 months of amenorrhea, with no pathological cause involved. This period is marked by several changes in the female organism, mainly the genitourinary syndrome (GUS), which is a collection of signs and symptoms resulting from the state of hypoestrogenism. Almost half of postmenopausal women will experience symptoms of GUS, with vaginal dryness being the most prevalent, followed by dyspareunia and vulvovaginal irritation. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation with red LED (ligth emitting diode) on the symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women. A randomized and controlled clinical trial will be developed, which will include postmenopausal women with signs and symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy. Participants will be allocated into two groups: those who will undergo photobiomodulation with intravaginal LED, and those who will receive vaginal cream with estriol. Objective and subjective improvement of atrophy will be assessed using the Vaginal Health Index and the visual analog scale, respectively. Vaginal pH, cell maturation index and changes in sexual function through the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire will also be assessed. The variables will be analyzed at the time of admission, in one and three months after the intervention.
This phase II trial studies how well carbon dioxide fractional (CO2RE) laser works in treating participants with stage 0-III hormone receptor-positive breast cancer with vulvovaginal atrophy associated with dryness, inflammation or thinning of the epithelial lining of the vulva and vagina. CO2RE laser is a device that delivers controlled CO2 energy to the vaginal tissue and may help treat vaginal symptoms such as itching, burning, painful sexual intercourse, thickened or thin skin of the vulva, and stinging.
Atrophic vaginitis affects the majority of post-menopausal women. It is characterized by dryness and inflammation of the vagina, with thinning of the vaginal tissues. Atrophic vaginitis is caused by the decreased effect of estrogens post menopause. Traditionally, local estrogens have been used to treat atrophic vaginitis Studies have shown that there are progesterone receptors in vaginal tissues. The use of progesterone to treat atrophic vaginitis has not yet been studied. However, its use has been studied in other populations including as a fertility medication in pregnant women. There is a significant group of women who cannot use, choose not to use, or do not respond to estrogenic therapies. The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vaginal progesterone in the treatment of urogenital atrophy, compared to placebo. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. The ultimate goal is to expand the treatment options for patients with symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
