Methods: Fifty women aged 50-70 were divided into menopausal (28) and premenopausal (22) cohorts and treated with the ovules for two weeks, with assessments before and after treatment.
Results: The findings showed that distressing symptoms of vaginal atrophy, such as dryness, itching, and pain during intercourse, were resolved post-treatment. A molecular analysis revealed a reduction in in both cohorts and an increase in three species of in premenopausal patients.
