Official Title: Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized Study to Investigate the Impact of a Sequential Oral Contraceptive Containing Estradiol Valerate and Dienogest (SH T00658ID) Compared to a Monophasic Contraceptive Containing Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel (Microgynon) Over 6 Treatment Cycles on Alleviating Complaints of Reduced Libido in Women With Acquired Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) Associated With Oral Contraceptive Use

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The change in the not weighted sum of Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) sexual desire and the sexual arousal component scores, defined as the total of questions 1 to 6 of the FSFI. [ Time Frame: Baseline to cycle 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The absolute values and changes in FSFI multidimensional self-report questionnaire (component scores desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain and total score). [ Time Frame: Baseline to cycle 2, cycle 4, cycle 6, and final visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-R) questionnaire results [ Time Frame: Screening, baseline, and cycles 2, 4, and 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Q-LES-Q (short version) questionnaire results [ Time Frame: Screening, baseline, and cycles 2, 4, and 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI) questionnaire results [ Time Frame: Screening, baseline, and cycles 2, 4, and 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Clinical Global Impression (CGI) assessment [ Time Frame: Cycles 2, 4, 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Vaginal effects evaluated by: vaginal pH measurements, the Atrophy Symptom Questionnaire (ASQ), and the Vaginal Health Assessment (VHA) [ Time Frame: Screening, cylce 2, and final visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Bleeding pattern and cycle control [ Time Frame: Throughout ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • AEs and SAEs. Concomitant medication. Vital signs (heart rate and blood pressure). Body Weight. [ Time Frame: Throughout ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
