Summary
This study compares a silicone gel (StrataMGT) to standard estrogen cream for treating genitourinary syndrome of menopause, which causes vaginal dryness and irritation. About 100 postmenopausal women will use one of the treatments for three months. Researchers will check if the gel works as well as estrogen at improving quality of life.
