Abstract

Genitourinary menopausal syndrome is a condition that has been causing controversy among scientists worldwide for many years. The issue of GMS treatment is still relevant. The article presents the results of studying the influence of complex methods, including photodynamic therapy, in patients with genitourinary menopausal syndrome on the quality of life according to the vulvar quality of life index. It is shown that complex methods, including photodynamic therapy, have a positive effect on the quality of life in patients with genitourinary menopausal syndrome to a greater extent than the components of the methods, according to the vulvar quality of life index. The dynamics of the VQLI indicators after therapy was 9.1 % in group A, 14.1 % in group B, and 26.3 % in group C.
