Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) — a refresher
By Drs. Kerstin Gustafson and Colleen Dy on May 2, 2023
Women should be proactively educated on the changes in the genital tract after menopause at routine visits. All women with vulvar and vaginal complaints in menopause should be offered a clinical exam to rule out secondary causes. GSM often continues to worsen with time if untreated. Daily use of a vulvar moisturizer and barrier creams to protect the vulvar skin from irritants may be helpful, as are vaginal moisturizers. Use of lubricants for intercourse should be recommended routinely. Many women will require pharmacotherapy in addition to nonhormonal treatments.
