ABSTRACT

The genitourinary syndrome of menopause is a collection of vuvlovaginal and bladder-urethral symptoms and signs that occur in menopausal women due to epithelial changes induced by a hypoestrogenic state. It has a clinical diagnosis, and it is given in women who are coursing through menopause and have characteristic symptoms and findings on pelvic examinations. Treatment is based on a first line, non hormonal, vaginal therapy and on a second line, hormone based therapy, where low dose vaginal estrogens stand out.
