Estrogen the Vag: Live Better!

The term "genitourinary syndrome of menopause" (GSM) was introduced in 2014 by the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health and the North American Menopause Society (now the Menopause Society). This new term was created to replace older terms like vulvovaginal atrophy, urogenital atrophy, and atrophic vaginitis, and it encompasses the range of symptoms related to hormonal changes in the vulvovaginal and urinary tract areas that can occur during menopause. Recurrent UTIs are more likely in postmenopausal women not on vaginal estrogen therapy. IN this episode, we will highlight new data from the recent AUA meeting which looked at surprising benefits on postmenopausal vaginal estrogen in women with recurrent UTIs. Nonetheless, questions on the data remain. Listen in for details.
