Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is a result of hormonal deficiencies in the female reproductive tract and surrounding tissue. Previously known as vulvovaginal atrophy, GSM is now the preferred name for a collection of symptoms including vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, recurrent vaginal infections, recurrent urinary tract infections, and regression or shortening of genital structures. Up to seventy-five percent of menopausal patients will experience symptoms associated with GSM which are often progressive in nature. Treatment includes either local or systemic hormone therapy, vaginal moisturizers, and lubricants.
