In each group HOT FLASHES frequency, HOT FLASHES severity and maturation index of vaginal cells before treatment, after the first period of treatment and after second period of treatment compared with each others. The result included that: The difference of HOT FLASHES frequency and HOT FLASHES severity before treatment and at the end of first treatment period and also before treatment at the end of second treatment period were highly significant in both groups.
