Summary

This early-phase trial will test whether a Chinese herbal formula called TJAOA103 can relieve genitourinary symptoms of menopause, such as vaginal dryness, itching, and pain during sex. About 113 women aged 45-70 will take the herbal drink twice daily for 4 to 12 weeks. Researchers will track symptom changes and any side effects to see if the treatment is safe and helpful.
