Subjects will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either 60 mg of ospemifene (Osphena, Shionogi, Florham, NJ) or placebo tablet. Placebo tablets will be identical in appearance and packaging will be identical for the two pills. The participants will be instructed to take one tablet in the morning with food for twelve weeks.

Four areas will be measured:
