Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a disease caused by low level of estrogen and mainly characterized by symptoms of genital tracturinary tract and sexual dysfunction. The incidence of the disease is more than 50% in menopausal and postmenopausal women. At present, the diagnosis of genitourinary syndrome of menopause mainly depends on the symptoms and signs of patients. The first-line drug for the treatment of GSM is local use of estrogen, the curative effect is relatively certain, but there are still limitations of the applicable population and the adverse risk of long-term use of hormone. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and treatment of GSM, and finding a combination therapy that can further improve the efficacy, and gradually reduce, optimize the use of hormones, relieve symptoms of patients and reduce hormone related adverse reactions is an important issue about GSM. Traditional Chinese medicine has also made a lot of achievements in the basic and clinical research on the prevention and treatment of GSMand has summed up many valuable experiences about drug use. In this project, we used Chinese medicine (Suoquan Huichun prescription) that based on the previous animal model research results to combine with local promestriene in the treatment of GSM, and designed a group of randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy. This project provides an accurate and quantifiable evaluation standard for the whole experimental scheme based on the scoring scale including the three main manifestations of menopausal urogenital syndrome and TCM syndrome differentiation. The people who meet the inclusion criteria were statistically analyzed and randomly divided into Suoquan Huichun decoction combined with local promestriene group and placebo combined with local promestriene group with a ratio of 1:1. At the time of enrollment, 3 months of medication and 3 months of withdrawal, we all asked the patient to fill out the scale and perform relevant auxiliary examinations. In our project, the main indicators were the scoring scale including the three symptoms of genital tract,urinary tract and sexual dysfunction and TCM syndrome differentiation about impotence,yinku and stranguria. The secondary indicators were urinary system imaging, urodynamic, cytology, vaginal pH measurement and vaginal health score, female sexual function index scale, urinary tract, reproductive tract, intestinal microbial diversity sequencing, and non-targeted metabolomics. After all the data were collected, the clinical efficacy of Suoquan Huichun decoction combined with local progesterone and single use of local progesterone to alleviate GSM symptoms was statistically analyzed and compared. Potential therapeutic targets were found according to the results of urinary tract, reproductive tract, intestinal microbial diversity and no targeted metabonomic sequencing results. This project can provide accurate and quantifiable reference for researchers to compare the clinical effects of different methods in the treatment of GSM, and develop a clinical treatment scheme with obvious characteristics of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine to improve the clinical efficacy of GSM.
