چکیده
Background: Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a common condition and a silent epidemic affecting
many postmenopausal women who suffer from it in silence. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of
Citrus aurantium vaginal cream on vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women.
Methods: This single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted on 30
postmenopausal women who were referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in the
city of Noor, Iran, from June to November 2020. Citrus aurantium vaginal cream was administered to
women diagnosed with vaginal atrophy (based on subjective symptoms of atrophy, descriptive evaluation
of the vagina, vaginal pH measurement, and degree of vaginal maturation determined by vaginal smear)
every night in the first two weeks and every other night for the second two weeks. Data were collected
using the scale of subjective symptoms of vaginal atrophy; descriptive evaluation checklist of vaginal
mucosa; laboratory results registration form (vaginal maturation index, vaginal maturation value, and
vaginal pH) before the intervention and two and four weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed
using SPSS software (version 24) through the analysis of variance with repeated measurements, and
LSD post-hoc test. A P value less than 0.05 (P<0.05) was considered statistically significant.
Results: Citrus aurantium vaginal cream improved subjective symptoms of vaginal atrophy (P<0.001),
reduced the score of descriptive evaluation of vaginal mucosa (P<0.001), decreased vaginal pH
(P<0.001), and increased vaginal maturity (P<0.001).
Conclusions: The results showed that citrus aurantium vaginal cream could improve the symptoms of
vaginal atrophy without causing serious complications. However, further studies with a control group
are suggested to confirm the findings of this study.
Trial Registration Number: IRCT20200215046494N1
