Responder Timeframe: 15 days % Responders where a "Responder" is defined as a patient with: At least a 25% reduction from baseline in the sum of % basal/parabasal + % intermediate cells on vaginal cytology; and Vaginal pH \\< 5.0 with a change from baseline vaginal pH of at least 0.5 2. Change in Most Bothersome Symptom Timeframe: 15 days Mean change from baseline to Day 15 in dyspareunia score (the self-identified most bothersome symptom in women with VVA). On a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3 = severe ### Secondary outcomes 1. Treatment Success in Most bothersome symptom Timeframe: 15 days proportion of patients in each treatment group that are considered a Treatment Success at the end of the treatment period evaluated on Day 15\. A "Treatment Success" is defined as a score of 0 or 1 on Day 15 for dyspareunia (the self-identified most bothersome symptom at baseline).On a scale of 0 to 3 where 0 = none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3 = severe Sources for outcomes Source: [clinicaltrials.gov](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05617820) ## Eligibility **Sex** Female **Age groups** Adults, Older adults **Minimum age** 40 Years **Maximum age** 75 Years **Healthy volunteers** Yes ### Inclusion criteria 1.
