Primary outcomes
- improvement in Vaginal Health Index (VHI). — 12 weeks
Vaginal Health Index (VHI) will be assessed at weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. VHI analyzes the following five components on a scale of 1 to 5: elasticity, fluid volume, pH, epithelial integrity, and moisture.A minimal total score of 5 points indicates severe VVA, and a maximal total score of 25 points indicates no clinical signs of VVA - improvement in Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) symptoms using the Visual analog scale (VAS). — 12 week
Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) will be assessed at weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. Participants will report intensity of VVA symptoms using a 10-cm VAS. The scale's left extremity indicates the complete absence of symptoms (0) and the right extremity indicates the worst possible symptom (10). Participants rated VVA symptoms (dyspareunia, dryness, or burning) from 0 to 10. - Assessment of quality of sexual function using the validated Portuguese version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) — 12 week
The FSFI will be assessed at weeks 0,4 ,8 and 12 BY FSFI questionnaire addresses six different domains (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain/ discomfort) ranging from 0 (no sexual activity in the past 4 wk) or 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). Full scale scores ranging from 2.0 (severe dysfunction) to 36.0 (absence of dysfunction) will be used to evaluate sexual function throughout the study, with increased FSFI scores correlating to an improvement of symptoms. An optimal cut score of 26, reported by Wiegel etal, is currently used to differentiate between women with and without sexual dysfunction.
