      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: All patients who enter this study will fill out and sign the consent form. A questionnaire will be designed to provide information on patients' conditions, and all patients will be asked all questions regarding entry and exit conditions. Based on this and consultation with the physician to decide on entry or exit of patients. After identifying and selecting patients, they receive written consent (after explaining its content to the student) and eligible patients enter the phase. They will be randomly assigned to the study to receive one of the interventions. patients will be selected by referrals to the Women's Clinic of Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital in Yazd and will be randomly assigned, Randomization description: In this study, 50 patients are randomly allocated into two treatment groups (A and B). Block randomization method will be used for random allocation. Ten blocks of five are considered. The generated permutations include the letters A and B, which are repeated (for example, ABAAB) in each permutation. These permutations are generated using Random allocation software version 1. For this purpose, the generated list by the software is from 1 to 50, which are arranged in 10 blocks of five in order. To run this software output, we give the first qualified person number 1 and the last person will receive number 50. To consider blinding in random allocation, the list is given to another person outside the study and using short message service (SMS) before assigning the type of treatment according to the number of eligible people is asked and thus people enter the study. In addition, in the software output, both numbers 1 to 50 and the permutations of the letters A and B can be seen, Blinding description: All stages will be covered by the patient, physician, and evaluator. The first presenter identifies the sequence of assignment of patients according to the order of entry of the patients to the study and places the drugs in a uniform envelope and identifies them with A or B codes. He then identifies the medications that are appropriate for each individual according to the above description and puts them in special envelopes and delivers them to patients.</study_design>
