      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to the study after visiting the gynecology clinic. Randomization will be in the form of blocking in such a way that the method of replacement blocks is used within each floor. The blocks will be binary, consisting of AB and BA. The randomization tool will be a table of random numbers, that using the sequence AB for numbers zero through 4 in the random number table and the sequence BA for 5 to 9.It should be noted that the letter A means the intervention group and the letter B means the control group For hiding we use concealment allocation in a way that before the individual is assigned, the assigned group is not specified. In this method, each of the random sequences created on a cards are placed in the closed envelopes. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes are numbered in the same way on the outer surface. Finally, the lids of the envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. At the time of registration of participants, based on the order of entry of the eligible participants in the study, one of the closed envelopes will be opened and the assigned group of the participant will be revealed, Blinding description: This study will be a three-way blind and  the patient, researcher and statistical analyst of the patients' group therapy have no information and the decoder is outside the research team. The drug under study (Astaxanthin) and placebo in a completely similar shape and appearance, each of which is 60 in the same bottle instead of the drug will be provided to the subjects based on random allocation. It should be noted that the drug content of each The bottles are code-tagged on the bottles by the by someone outside the research team consultant and the research team is not aware of their interpretation.</study_design>
