Vaginal Gel Not Better Than Placebo for Breast Cancer Survivors, Study Finds
One of the side effects of breast cancer treatment is vaginal dryness, which can make intercourse painful for women. Recently, a team of scientists tested a pH-balanced vaginal gel to see if it might make sex more comfortable. They published their findings last month in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
They worked with 136 premenopausal women who were experiencing sexual pain after chemotherapy for breast cancer. For eight weeks, half of the women used the pH-balanced gel, while the rest used a placebo.
Overall, women in both groups had improvements in their pain, but the differences between groups was not significant.
