Brief Summary

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

During postpartum and lactation, vaginal epithelium tends to have an impaired degree of hydration and lubrication. This may lead to vaginal dryness, burning sensation dyspareunia or itching, which negatively affect the sexual function of puerperal women.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HYDEAL-D® vaginal gel (HYALOGYN®, Fidia Farmaceutici, Abano Terme, Italy) application on promoting the restoration of sexual function in the postpartum period.
