Overview
This presentation will cover one of the most overlooked topics in primary care for women in their menopausal age: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). The prevalence and occurrence of GSM among menopausal women will be discussed in detail. Precise discussion about the etiological factors leading to GSM during menopause will be offered. The signs and symptoms and clinical course of GSM will be presented in detail. The correlation between menopause and GSM will be analyzed. Additionally, patient hesitation in discussing GSM related health issues because of factors such as cultural beliefs, religious and social influences and GSM will be examined. A well-defined, individualized, and easy to follow plan of care including pharmacological management of GSM will be outlined. Furthermore, the complexities of hormone therapy, its indications, and cautionary steps will be examined.

Objectives

Describe the definition and accepted terminology of GSM.
Analyze the relationship between menopause and GSM.
Categorize the signs and symptoms of GSM with special emphasis on post-menopausal women.
Develop a plan for assessment, diagnosis, and medical management, including pharmacologic agents to address GSM.
Design an individualized plan of care for patients presenting with health issues related to GSM.
