General Urinary Syndrome of Menopause and Its Impact on Women's Health

The general urinary syndrome of menopause encompasses a range of symptoms resulting from reduced estrogen levels, impacting the urinary and genital systems, including the bladder, vagina, and vulva. As estrogen decreases, women experience a loss of elasticity and moisture, leading to painful intercourse and changes in vaginal tissue resembling dry, thin layers rather than the healthy, elastic state seen in premenopausal women. This syndrome is characterized by a significant reduction in tissue quality, which can lead to discomfort and health issues like recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and incontinence. Effective treatments for these conditions often include vaginal estrogen rather than relying on antibiotics, emphasizing the importance of maintaining tissue health to prevent complications and enhance quality of life.
