Compare Vaginal Estrogen and Platelet-rich Plasma Over Women With Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
Compare the Effectiveness and Side Effects of Vaginal Estrogen and Platelet-rich Plasma Over Women With Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
The definition of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is the decline of estrogens during menopause results in symptoms and clinical signs from both systems. Estrogen and other hormones production decrease after menopause because the ovaries lose their effectiveness, leading to mucosal atrophy, reduced vaginal moisture, dysuria, urgency, recurrent infection, burning, pruritus and dyspareunia.
The treatment included vaginal estrogen supplement, vaginal hyaluronic acid supplement, vaginal laser, platelet rich plasma, etc. Observational cohort study will be used for study design, and questionnaire, pelvic examination, vaginal pap smear with maturation index (MI), vaginal pH, and other methods will be used for evaluation of the effectiveness and side effects.
