Urogynecological effects of menopause.

Urogynecological effects of menopause. Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2014 Jan;9(1):73-77 Authors: Bulchandani S, Toozs-Hobson P Abstract The menopause signifies a period after significant hormonal change that affects all estrogen-sensitive tissues. This change may result in symptoms affecting any part of the urogenital system. These changes can significantly affect women's health and quality of life. The menopause is associated with lower urinary tract symptoms, vulvovaginal symptoms and pelvic organ prolapse. In this article, we have aimed to describe the symptomatology along with pathophysiology of the effects of menopause on urogynecological problems affecting women's health. Other factors apart from menopause add to these symptoms, like parity, mode of delivery, obesity, smoking and poor psychological health. PMID: 30743740 [PubMed]
