High-normal thyroid stimulating hormone levels, are associated with higher handgrip strength in healthy postmenopausal women
Introduction: Ageing affects the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis. A growing amount of data suggests an association between thyroid function and handgrip strength (HGS) in the aging population. We evaluated the association between thyroid function, body composition parameters and HGS in a sample of euthyroid postmenopausal women. (Source: Maturitas)

Urodynamic assessment in patients suffering concomitant overactive bladder syndrome (OAB-S) and vulvo-vaginal atrophy (VVA) treated with ospemifene
Introduction and Aim of the Study: Overactive Bladder Syndrome (OAB-S) is a complex and multifactorial syndrome in which menopausal transition and the ageing process could be contributing factors. Urinary Urgency (UU) is the key symptom reported in the condition of OAB in Post-Menopausal Women (PMW) suffering from Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. Even if there are some evidences that the use of hormonal treatments like vaginal estrogens in PMW may be helpful, the evidence on the possible role of others hormonal treatments in improving OAB-S in PMW is scant.

Persistence of lower urinary tract symptoms in post- menopausal women after mid-urethral sling: the role of urodynamics in patient counselling
Introduction and aim of the study: Mid-urethral sling (MUS) placement to correct female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a widely accepted technique, however, urge incontinence, recurrent SUI, or bladder emptying difficulties may occur or persist after surgery. The role of urodynamics (UDS) prior to surgery for SUI has been widely debated, however the results of UDS assessments can be used to provide appropriate counseling to women regarding expected outcomes and could facilitate optimal preoperative consultation.

Discontinuation of contraception in perimenopausal women – variations in clinical practice
Introduction: The perimenopause period is described as the transition between the fertile and unfertile stage. Postmenopausal state is diagnosed clinically after 12 months of amenorrhea. Although fertility greatly decreases after age 50, unwanted pregnancies have been described until the age of 59. Contraceptive counselling is particularly challenging in this age group due to difficulty in the interpretation of amenorrhea in hormonal contraceptive users and different approaches on the timing of discontinuation of contraception.

Menopause management for transgender and genderdiverse people
For most transgender and genderdiverse people terms like the menopause and andropause only apply in a figurative sense. Under well-adjusted gender affirmative treatment it is unlikely to get climacteric ’ symptoms. More frequently dosage adaptation in elderly transpersons due to concurrent chronic diseases leads to problems and may wrongly be considered ‘menopausal’. If complaints remain for a longer period a laboratory check of the sex steroids involved may be indicated. In case lab results do not show conspicious features, it is recommendable to consider absorption problems as transfemale persons are more prone to ...

Clinical considerations of sarcopenia in Colombian climacteric women
Sarcopenia is an entity of recent recognition and growing interest because of the implications it has on disability, association with various morbidities and high mortality. The statistical data found on sarcopenia in several groups of middle-aged Colombian women and older adults are presented. Clinical considerations of sarcopenia were established with the application of the SARC-F screening scale and with measurements of calf circumference, grip muscle strength measured with a digital dynamometer and gait speed.

Integrative medicine for the treatment of the vasomotor symptoms after breast cancer
Significant advances in breast cancer treatment have led to an increase in definitive cures and the need to address the adverse events of the disease and treatments in physical, psychological, social and sexual terms. Among such events that worsen quality of life, menopause induced by adjuvant therapy has been highlighted as one of the negative prognostic factors, especially in young women. Menopause can have many implications: the rapid transition from reproductive capacity to loss of fertility, the change in body image, personal and sexual identity. (Source: Maturitas)
