ABSTRACT
The impact of bothersome vulvovaginal symptoms related to hypoestrogenism on quality of life (QOL) has been evaluated in large international surveys and qualitative studies of vulvovaginal atrophy, most of which were completed before the introduction of the term genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and focus primarily on vulvovaginal atrophy. The QOL domain most affected in these studies is sexual function, although women also report impacts on self-confidence, self-esteem, sleep, and general enjoyment of life. Health-related QOL measures are available that evaluate the impact of some symptoms associated with GSM on QOL; new measures are in development that assess the full range of symptoms associated with GSM.
