title: [Postmenopausal vaginal atrophy and topical therapy with an estriol-based ointment (Colpogyn): authors' experience].
abstract: The paper reports the results of a study to assess the efficacy of an estriol-based cream (Colpogyn) in the topical treatment of postmenopausal vaginal atrophy. 0.5 mg of estriol were applied daily for 10 consecutive days and three times a week for 2 weeks. Trophism of vaginal epithelium appeared to be better than that obtained using cream containing excipients alone. The excellent tolerability of this therapy enables urogenital dystrophy to be treated with optimum results.
