Vulvovaginal Atrophy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Vulvovaginal atrophy is the thinning, dryness, and inflammation of the tissues of the vulva and vagina, related to a decrease in estrogen levels, which is common during menopause.
Common symptoms: Dryness, burning, itching, discomfort during sexual intercourse and, at times, urinary symptoms.
Common causes: It is mainly associated with the hormonal changes of menopause, though it can also occur in other situations that reduce estrogen.
Which specialist treats it? The OB-GYN is the right provider to assess these symptoms. If the discomfort affects your well-being or daily life, it is worth discussing it at a visit to receive personalized guidance.
