The goal of this clinical trial is investigating estetrol (E4) in women after menopause, suffering from sexual arousal disorder. The main question it aims to answer is: is 20 mg estetrol monohydrate effective in the treatment of sexual arousal disorder in women after their menopause. Participants will visit the clinic 7 times and complete a daily diary while receiving estetrol or placebo for 12 weeks. Placebo is a pill that looks the same as estetrol but has no active ingredient.
