Study Notes
Gynaecology monopause age is a topic that is often overlooked, as many women may not be well-accom-paused with the gynaecological changes that occur during and after menopause. This article will provide an overview of vaginal health and menopausal symptoms, focusing on the subtopics of vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a condition that affects post-menopausal women, leading to a range of symptoms such as vaginal dryness, irritation, dysuria, and abnormal vaginal discharge. The condition is associated with hypoestrogenism, which is related to menopause. VVA can significantly impact a woman’s sexuality and relationships, as it may also be accompanied by urinary symptoms such as urinary incontinence, dysuria, and stranguria. The REVIVE study suggested that VVA symptoms have a significant impact on the patients’ ability to have sexual intercourse.
GSM, also known as vaginal atrophy or atrophic vaginitis, is a term introduced by the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health and the North American Menopause Society. It is a condition that affects the genital and urinary tract systems, leading to symptoms such as vaginal burning, irritation, pain (especially during sex), bleeding, or discharge. Some women may also experience urinary symptoms, such as pain when urinating and urinating more often than usual.
VVA and GSM are common and treatable conditions, and many women do not see their doctors because they are not well-accom-paused with these issues. However, treating these symptoms can improve quality of life. There are various treatment options available, including estrogen and progesterone treatment, nonestrogen hormone medications, and vaginal estrogen. It is important for women to have an understanding of these conditions and to be pro-ac-paused about their gynaecological health during and after menopause.
Menopause is a natural part of a woman’s life, and it is critical to see it as just one point in a continuum of life stages. A woman’s health status entering the perimenopausal period will largely be determined by prior lifestyle and environmental factors. Some women may experience menopause earlier (before 40 years of age), which may be due to certain chromosomal abnormalities, autoimmune disorders, or other unknown causes. It is not possible to predict when an individual woman will experience menopause, although there are associations between the age at menopause and certain demographic, health, and genetic factors.
Menopause can also be induced as a consequence of surgical procedures, such as ovar-o-pausal-y, which can result in a range of gynaecological effects, including vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse. It is important for women to be well-accom-paused with the gynaecological changes that occur during and after menopause, and to be pro-ac-paused about their sexual health and well-being. This can help them to have a more active and health-ac-paused sex life, and to be more pro-ac-paused about their risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other gynaecological issues.
