Vaginal Inflammation Markers in Postmenopausal Women With and Without Symptoms of Vaginal Inflammation

NCT01899612 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 16

Last updated 2013-07-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Many postmenopausal women suffer from vaginal symptoms such as dryness, itching, and painful intercourse. The underlying pathology is unknown. Since symptoms are comparable to those found in infectious vaginitis during the reproductive life stage, the investigators hypothesize that the vaginal milieu in symptomatic postmenopausal women is comparable to inflammation in vaginitis. The investigators therefore study vaginal cytokines in symptomatic and asymptomatic postmenopausal women.
