Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Currently, it has been proven that Vaginal Moisturizers effectively alleviate and improve mild to moderate symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy. These symptoms include issues like vaginal dryness, insufficient lubrication, and discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse. In light of this, a study is being planned to assess how effective the Woman ISDIN Vaginal Moisturizer is in relieving symptoms related to vaginal dryness or atrophy caused by insufficient hydration, with a specific focus on potential discomfort or pain during sexual activity.

Who can participate?
Diagnosed postmenopausal women patients over 18 years old with menopause symptoms women can participate in this study.

What does the study involve?
The study involves three visits to the hospital. The second visit is scheduled four weeks after the initial one, and the third and final visit occurs 12 weeks after the first visit. During these visits, participants are asked about basic information like their weight and age, general health details, any illnesses they've had, and the treatments they received. They also provide feedback on the intensity of symptoms such as dryness and itching, share information about vaginal atrophy, and complete questionnaires related to their sexual and menopausal health, product usability, and overall quality of life. Additionally, participants undergo a vaginal examination. Throughout the 12 weeks, any discomfort experienced is documented for further analysis.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participating in this research may offer potential benefits by contributing to the development of new products aimed at alleviating the discomfort associated with vulvovaginal atrophy in the post-menopausal period in the future. However, it's important to note that participants may not directly gain any immediate health benefits from taking part in this clinical research.

When considering the risks associated with this study, it's crucial to mention that the investigational product has demonstrated safety since its introduction in Spain in 2012, following the provided instructions. As outlined in the instructions for use document, some individuals may experience vaginal irritation or discomfort while using the product. As with any vaginal product, there is an expected possibility that individuals sensitive to certain components may encounter events related to hypersensitivity or irritation. It's important to note that severe, unpredictable, and life-threatening allergic reactions are exceptionally rare but cannot be entirely ruled out.
