Key Points about Atrophic vaginitis:
- Definition: Atrophic vaginitis refers to the inflammation of the vaginal walls due to the thinning and shrinking of the tissues, typically caused by a reduction in estrogen levels, commonly occurring during menopause.
- Clinical Features: Symptoms include vaginal dryness, irritation, itching, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), and sometimes urinary symptoms such as dysuria and increased frequency.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is clinical and based on the patient’s history and physical examination. In some cases, a vaginal pH test or biopsy may be used to rule out other causes of symptoms.
- Management: Treatment usually involves the use of local estrogen therapy (creams, tablets, or rings) to restore the vaginal tissue. Lubricants and moisturizers may also help alleviate symptoms. Lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding irritants, can also be beneficial.
- Complications: If left untreated, atrophic vaginitis can lead to chronic discomfort, recurrent urinary tract infections, and an increased risk of vaginal infections.
