Hormone cream for vulvodynia pain
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two hormone creams for women with vulvodynia (chronic pain at the opening of the vagina). One group will use a cream with both testosterone and estrogen, and the other group will use a cream with estrogen alone, to see which better reduces pain during sex or tampon use.
