Abstract

The menopausal transition is a time when many physical and psychological changes are occurring for women. Women may experience irregular menses, vasomotor symptoms, sleep disruption, mood disorders as well as genitourinary symptoms. Despite irregular menstrual cycles, some women can still conceive. It is important to understand what is within normal physiologic changes and what may represent pathologic changes and how to further evaluate this. There are many options available to manage menopausal symptoms when they are impacting quality of life.

Keywords: Genitourinary symptoms of menopause; Hormone replacement therapy (HRT); Menopause; Perimenopause; Vasomotor symptoms.
