253 - Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause: Medical Management and Procedural Therapies


‐ Oct 27, 2018 2:40pm


Credits: None available.

In 2014, the new term genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) was introduced to encompass the symptoms associated with the loss of estrogen that occurs with menopause. These symptoms of atrophy affect the vulva, vagina, bladder and urethra. Patients can experience symptoms such as pain, sexual dysfunction, vaginal bleeding and recurrent urinary tract infections. In addition to vaginal estrogen, we review the non-estrogen medications and in-office procedures available to treat GSM.
