Population: postmenopausal women

Vaginal cytology sample to evaluate the vaginal Maturation Value. For the cytologic evaluation, the number of parabasal, intermediate and superficial cells will be calculated in duplicate on 100 consecutive cells of vaginal cytology. The average of the two percentages obtained for each cell type will be calculated, which will serve to determine the maturation value (MV) based on the following formula: 0.2 x (% parabasal) + 0.6 x (% intermediate) + 1.0 x (% superficial).
