      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The allocation of postmenopausal women to three groups of urtica dioica vaginal cream, conjugated estrogen and placebo will be simple random with random sequence created by www.randomization.com. The random sequence created by the site is provided to the pharmacist consulting professor so that the creams are labeled with one of the codes A, B and C without informing the other members of the research team. After the entry of each person with the conditions of inclusion in the study, according to the above random sequence, one of the creams A, B and C will be delivered to him, Blinding description: Urtica dioica vaginal cream, placebo and conjugated estrogen will be poured into exactly the same tubes. The creams are similar in shape and color and only the pharmacist consulting professor will know the codes assigned to the creams.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Vaginal cream 5. urtica dioica plant made in the pharmacology department of medicinal plants of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, for 8 weeks, the first 2 weeks every night and the next 6 weeks twice a week, 1 gram (Equivalent to 50 mg of extract) will be used every night. In clinical trials, a dose of 600 mg has been used for allergic rhinitis, and 600-1200 mg daily for 6-9 weeks for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The average oral lethal dose in rats was estimated to be more than 30 g / kg for aqueous leaf extract and 1.3 g / kg for roots. Intervention 2: Control group: Conjugated estrogen vaginal cream for 8 weeks, the first 2 weeks every night and the next 6 weeks twice a week, 1 gram per night will be used. Intervention 3: Control group: Placebo vaginal cream containing Farabi cream base made in the Department of Medicinal Plants Pharmacology of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, for 8 weeks, the first 2 weeks every night and the next 6 weeks twice a week, 1 gram per night will be used.</i_freetext>
