Genito-Urinary Syndrome of Menopause

Genito-Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) refers to a range of symptoms affecting the vagina and urinary tract due to decreased estrogen levels after menopause. Women may experience vaginal dryness, irritation, pain during intercourse, and urinary issues like urgency or increased infections. These changes can impact quality of life, making it important to address. Treatments may include lubricants, moisturizers, hormone therapy, or other medications to alleviate symptoms and improve comfort. Consulting a healthcare professional can help women manage these concerns effectively.
