- Authors
Kurdoğlu, Mertihan
- Abstract
The article discusses nonhormonal treatment options for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), a condition that affects postmenopausal women and is characterized by symptoms such as vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse. While hormone therapy has traditionally been used to treat GSM, nonhormonal alternatives are gaining recognition for their effectiveness and safety. These treatments include vaginal moisturizers and lubricants, hyaluronic acid polymers, topical oxytocin, and laser therapy. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight and consuming certain foods, as well as physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises, can also help manage GSM symptoms. The article emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to treatment that incorporates both hormonal and nonhormonal options, empowering women to take control of their vaginal health and well-being.
