Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

GROUP A: medical device Celegyn®

Medical device Celegyn® presents itself as a white ivory cream (cream-like oil-in-water topical emulsion) with a typical smell; it is intended for topical use.

Posology: It is to be applied preferably in the evening, once a day, for the first seven days, and every other day until the end of the study (i.e. during the second and third week) according to the following:

* for external (vulvar) use: it should be applied as needed directly to the affected area with a gentle massage;
* for internal (vaginal) use: use the vaginal applicators provided and follow the directions of use, according to package insert

12. Patients using topic oestrogen - progestin or hormonal therapy, in the week prior to inclusion.
13. Patients in treatment with topically applied vaginal products, including medications to promote healing, in the week prior to inclusion.
