Methods : 7 climacteric women who are suffering from the dryness of vagina and sexual problems received DJH: 2 pills(4g) a time, three times a day for a total 8 weeks as maintenance therapy. We evaluated ultrasonography, BMD, blood test, urine analysis, female hormone test and questionnaire, Kupperman's index plus two questions about urogenital and sexual problems in before as well as after 8 weeks of treatment. Results : The results are as follows; 1. DJH reduced climacteric symptoms.(Kupperman's index from 61.4 to 30.2 points) 2. DJH was very effective to dryness of vagina and difficulty in sexual life caused by deficiency of estrogen. 3. The affirmative efficacy of DJH improved sexual satisfaction in consequence. Conclusion : The DJH showed positive effects on improving, not only the climacteric symptoms, but also the sexual satisfaction.
