Overview

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to measure changes in the thickness of the vaginal lining (epithelium + underlying stroma) between 0 and 8 weeks after injection.

Detailed Description

The secondary objectives of this study are to measure changes in the following between 0 and 8 weeks after injection: A. vaginal flora and Nugent score. B. vaginal pH. C. functional evolution via the VHI index by Gloria Bachman (state of the vaginal mucosa), pain / dyspareunia (visual analog scale) and the satisfaction concerning care viay the PGI-I questionnaire (Patient Global Impression and Improvement). D. Procollagen I and III gene expression (by PCR) and mitotic activity of the mucosa (Ki67 proliferation marker) based on biopsies.
