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 determine whether the vaginal estriol before vaginal surgery for pelvic statics disorders is more efficacy of no estriol treatment on vaginal health and quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this randomized study was to evaluate the efficacy of low concentration of vaginal estriol gel (0.005%, 50 micrograms/1 g vaginal gel) in women with pelvic statics disorders before vaginal surgical treatment (group A), assessing the vaginal dryness, dysuria, vaginal maturation index (VMI), pH and the Vaginal Health Index (VHI). Secondary, to investigate the changes of sexual function and QoL. Women without pre surgical estriol treatment constituted the control group (group B).
