简要总结
The genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a new term that describes various menopausal symptoms and signs associated with physical changes of the vulva, vagina, and lower urinary tract.
The GSM includes not only genital symptoms (dryness, burning, and irritation) and sexual symptoms (lack of lubrication, discomfort or pain, and impaired function), but also urinary symptoms (urgency, dysuria, and recurrent urinary tract infections [UTI])
详细描述
The terms vulvovaginal atrophy and atrophic vaginitis were widely used until recently, but they have been considered to be inadequate for referring to the constellation of symptoms and signs associated with the genitourinary system after menopause.
The term vulvovaginal atrophy mentions the vulva and vagina only, and these words are not used comfortably in general social discussion and in the media. The term atrophic vaginitis implies a state of inflammation or infection, which is not a primary component of menopausal changes. In addition, a limitation of the terms vulvovaginal atrophy and atrophic vaginitis is that they do not take into account the symptoms of the lower urinary tract, which are among the most important symptoms related to menopause.
Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a prevalent condition affecting many postmenopausal women.1 Up to 40% of postmenopausal women develop symptoms of VVA.
It is most often diagnosed by its symptoms, including vaginal dryness, burning, itching, vagina pain and dyspareunia. More recently these symptoms have been described as a syndrome: the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
This new term describes various menopausal symptoms and signs including not only genital symptoms but sexual (pain) and urinary symptoms (dysuria, urgency) as well.

结局指标
主要结局
The using of novel zinc-containing vaginal suppositories
时间窗: From baseline to 2 weeks after using the zinc sulphate
Assessment of postmenopausal symptoms as dryness, burning, and irritation by Vaginal Health Index (VHI) score: elasticity, fluid secretion, pH and epithelial mucosa (integrity) and moisture components. Each component is scored on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best). Lower scores indicate more severe atrophy. VHI was calculated at baseline and 2 weeks after the treatment.
