Does hysterosalpingo-foam sonography have any therapeutic effect? A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: As described in the literature for other procedures, similarly with HyFoSy, the tubal flushing improves the chance of an embryo implanting and establishing a spontaneous pregnancy. More prospective studies should be taken to better analyze the singular maternal risk fators, hoping to offer more complete indications to recommend HyFoSy.

Prevention of vaginal dryness in perimenopausal women. Supplementation with Lady Prelox ®.
CONCLUSIONS: The effects of the supplementation with Lady Prelox® on vaginal dryness were significant. The supplement was well accepted and revealed no side effects or tolerability problems.
