Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to find out how long it takes the vagina to respond to hormonal vaginal cream in women with pelvic organ prolapse (bulge in the vagina). It also will address the appropriate amount to use prior to vaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjective and objective vaginal health symptoms, validated pelvic floor questionnaires, cytology and histology will be analyzed.
