Method: 35 patients applied sodium hyaluronate vaginal gel one time a day for a period of two times a week during three weeks and other 33 patients using promestriene cream applied it every day for a period of three weeks also. Results: No significant difference was observed between vaginal application of sodium hyaluronate gel and promestriene cream, regarding both, as regarding the dryness of the intimate mucosa (p = 0.786), the attribute of moisturizing properties to the intimate mucosa (p = 0.142), the comfort sensation (p = 0.528), and no significant difference was observed regarding the fragrance of the product (p = 0.088). Conclusion: The similar results between vaginal application of both products support the use of sodium hyaluronate vaginal gel (Lubrinat®) in the initial approach of symptoms of vaginal dryness.
