Common gynecological diseases during menopause

Every woman will experience menopause after reaching a certain age. Menopause will cause many gynecological diseases, so many women want to fully understand the common gynecological diseases during menopause. The following content introduces common gynecological diseases in detail for many women who experience menopause, so you can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Vaginitis

Vaginitis is the most common gynecological disease. Estrogen is secreted by the female ovaries. The estrogen level in elderly women after menopause is definitely lower. Due to the atrophy of reproductive organs in old age, the resistance of the vagina decreases. Therefore, external pathogens can easily invade the reproductive organs, causing vaginal inflammation.

2. Urethritis

The female bladder and urethra mucosa and vaginal mucosa belong to the same origin during the embryonic differentiation period. When estrogen is deficient, the mucosa of the bladder and urethra also becomes thinner and shows varying degrees of atrophic changes, causing atrophic cystitis. As a result, the body's resistance is reduced, and bladder and urinary tract infections are more likely to occur, with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating.

3. Uterine bleeding

Uterine bleeding is also called menopausal functional uterine bleeding. As the ovarian function of women in the menopausal period begins to decline, uterine bleeding caused by reproductive endocrine function is a gynecological disease unique to perimenopausal women. At this time, elderly women need to take hemostatic drugs and hormones for regulation.

4. Breast cancer

The incidence of breast cancer is increasing by 2% to 3% each year worldwide. The prevention and treatment of breast cancer has become a hot topic in current research. The etiology of breast cancer is complex and its pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. The symptoms include: breast lumps, breast pain, nipple discharge, nipple changes, skin changes, and swollen axillary lymph nodes.
