Vulvovaginal Disorders

Vulvovaginal disorders refer to a range of issues affecting the external and internal genital areas in women, particularly during menopause and in older age. Common problems include dryness, itching, pain during intercourse, and changes in the skin or mucous membranes. These changes often result from decreased hormone levels after menopause. These disorders can significantly impact quality of life, causing discomfort and emotional distress. Treatment options may include moisturizers, lubricating gels, hormone therapy, and other medications to alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. Consulting a healthcare provider can help manage these conditions effectively.
