(BPT) - 3, 2, 1… Happy New Year! For many, the beginning of a new year is a time to reflect on the past year, make resolutions and most importantly, start updating your calendar with routine annual checkups with your primary care doctor, dentist and gynecologist.
For many postmenopausal women, it’s important to take a moment this New Year to focus on the symptoms of postmenopausal vaginal atrophy that they may be experiencing, including vaginal burning, itching and dryness, increased urgency in urination and painful sexual intercourse.While most postmenopausal women are aware of hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings, fewer have heard of the symptoms of postmenopausal vaginal atrophy or may not be connecting these symptoms with a treatable, medical condition.
