Vaginal atrophy, also known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause, occurs when declining estrogen levels lead to thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls. It most commonly develops during menopause but may also occur after childbirth, during breastfeeding, or following certain medical treatments.

As estrogen levels decrease, vaginal tissue can become more fragile and less elastic. This may result in discomfort, irritation, urinary symptoms, and pain during intimacy.

At PrimeHealthMD, our medical team performs a comprehensive evaluation to assess hormone levels, symptoms, and contributing factors. Treatment plans are personalized to improve tissue health, reduce discomfort, and support overall vaginal wellness.
