Abstract
After menopause, about half of all women experience genital, sexual, and urinary symptoms associated with decreases in estrogen, termed genitourinary syndrome of menopause. First-line therapies are nonhormonal vaginal lubricants and moisturizers. For persistent symptoms, prescription estrogen in cream and ring formulations is effective.
