Meredith C WassermanR S RubinPublished in: Climacteric : the journal of the International Menopause Society (2023)
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) has a variety of effects on the urinary system and is an important consideration in the care provided to perimenopausal and postmenopausal patients when addressing urinary pathology. Here we discuss the common pathologies of the urinary system related to GSM including lower urinary tract symptoms and recurrent urinary tract infections. Female sexual dysfunction is not to be excluded as a critical part of a urologist's management of GSM but will be discussed elsewhere in this issue.
