Summary

Breast cancer patients commonly take medications to reduce the risk of recurrence, including aromatase inhibitors (AIs). AIs can cause significant side effects that reduce patient adherence. Early discontinuation of AI therapy results in an increased risk of cancer recurrence and increased risk of breast cancer-related death. Common side effects include vaginal dryness and vulvovaginal atrophy leading to worsening sexual function. To increase AI adherence, the investigators will study a non-pharmaceutical Vaginal Renewal Program (VRP) aimed at stimulating nitric oxide production to consequently increase vaginal lubrication, and improve the symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy.
