AB - Currently, 25% of women seek the advice of a medical professional for symptoms related to the menopause. However, with an increasingly ageing and medically aware population, it is likely this proportion will grow. The main symptoms related to the menopause are systemic vasomotor and localized urogenital symptoms. Numerous forms of estrogen have been used to alleviate these symptoms. Further problems that increase during the menopause include incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and recurrent urinary tract infections. This article reviews the process by which estrogen affects the tissues of the urogenital tract, what symptoms occur during this period and what modalities of treatments are available.
