Menopause and Urogenital Health

The most common urogenital symptom associated with menopause is dryness, followed by irritation or itching, discharge, and dysuria (burning with urination). These symptoms are the result of vulvovaginal atrophy that occurs with the absence of estrogen.

We know that estrogens play a key role in maintaining vaginal health. Not only do they assist with lubrication, but some studies also show them to be effective in preventing urinary tract infections. That’s why women need to have more estrogen options and be educated on their benefits and potential risks.

Our physicians can help evaluate possible hormone deficiencies and provide safe effective treatment strategies.
