Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause

Abstract

Genitourinary syndrome is a complex chronic syndrome with multiple changes in genitourinary tissues in response to menopausal loss of estrogen. Symptoms range from mild to severe and may have effects on genitourinary and sexual function, relationships and quality of life. Treatments can be non-hormonal with lubricants and moisturizers or with vaginal or systemic estrogen therapy.
