Evaluation and treatment of vulvovaginal itching in postmenopausal women

Author:

Abstract

Vulvovaginal itching, a commonly reported symptom in postmenopausal women, may be because of the genitourinary syndrome of menopause but has a broad differential including dermatologic, infectious, and autoimmune causes. Comprehensive evaluation is important to avoid inappropriate treatments that may delay the correct diagnosis. In many cases, no clear cause can be identified, and the goal of management is simply to control symptoms.
