Popis: | Herein, joint recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of vulvo-vaginal atrophy (VVA) in women in the peri- and post-menopausal phases from the Societa Italiana per la Menopausa (SIM) and the Societa Italiana della Terza Eta (SIGiTE) are presented. The recommendations are aimed at all healthcare personnel caring for women in the menopausal transition or postmenopausal phase, and are also intended to raise awareness of VVA. Recent data clearly indicate VVA is a highly prevalent condition among postmenopausal women, and that the vast majority of women with VVA are not adequately treated. In reality, diagnosis of VVA is simple and largely clinical. Many types of treatments are available for VVA, ranging from preventive education measures to local non-hormonal therapies, local agents that modulate hormonal receptors and systemic as well as laser therapy and radiofrequency. Regardless of the therapeutic approach adopted, greater communication between the physician and the woman with VVA should be actively encouraged. This is also in light of the difficulty of talking about the VVA and related disorders. Greater communication also encourages adequate therapy and thus minimizes the impact of VVA on the quality of life of the woman and her partner. |
