      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The necessary sample is selected in an easy and accessible way, and then the permutation block method is used to generate the sequence of random allocation of people to the studied groups. Random allocation sequence of people will be done using Random Allocation Software and block size of four. The permutation block method is one of the random allocation methods in which each block is selected according to the number of studied groups. There are six blocks in this study. One of the blocks is randomly selected. If the first block is AABB, the first and second people will be assigned to group A, and the third and fourth people will be assigned to group B, and this process continues until all the samples will be assigned. The characteristic of this method is that the two study groups will have equal numbers, Blinding description: The study is a triple-blind randomized clinical trial. That is, the researcher, the research unit and the statistical consultant do not know the type of drug given (vaginal gel or placebo).The gel is made with a completely identical appearance to the placebo.</study_design>
