Abstract

The paper presents a literature review covering the current aspects of terminology, classification, pathogenesis, and possibilities for therapy of urogenital disorders in menopausal women. It shows the susceptibility of the lower urogenital tract to sex steroids, the implication of which in the genesis of vaginal and urinary symptoms is beyond question. The efficiency of systemic and local hormone replacement therapy and different treatment regimens is considered.
