Drugs for Menopausal Symptoms
Date: August 10, 2020
Issue #:
1604Summary:
The primary symptoms of menopause are genitourinary
(genitourinary syndrome of menopause; GSM) and
vasomotor (VMS). Vulvovaginal atrophy can cause
vaginal burning, irritation and dryness, dyspareunia, and
dysuria, and increase the risk of urinary tract infections.
Vasomotor symptoms ( " hot flashes " ) cause daytime
discomfort and night sweats that may disrupt sleep.
Hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for both
genitourinary and vasomotor symptoms.
