Highlights • The age of menopause in Iranian women is lower than that in other countries. • The life-expectancy of Iranian women increased to 72 years during recent years. • Vaginal atrophy is one of the main concerns during menopause. • The Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) is a herb that can alleviate the symptoms of vaginal atrophy (itching, burning, dryness and dyspareunia). • Fennel vaginal cream can improve the pH and cytology of vagina. • Using this cream is recommended in women who have contraindication for hormone therapy or not willing to use hormone because of its risk factors.
