Talk:Atrophic vaginitis

Boxed warning
I don't think the warning really belongs in this article. It would belong in the articles about estrogen medications, of course, but it's too much for here. It should probably say something like "Estrogen treatments have the possibility of increasing the risks of certain conditions. As with all medical treatments, the advantages and risks must be weighed for each patient." with, of course, a wikilink to whatever article exists on the subject of estrogen treatments. 138.89.122.55 11:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Art?
Unless collage has a medical meaning that I'm unaware of, I suspect that "deposition of collage" is wrong. For all I know it could be deposition of "collagen". Or something.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  22:41, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

remove redirect from Genitourinary syndrome of menopause
clearly this is a larger term. I plan to remove the redirect. EncycloABC (talk) 03:47, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The terms mean the same condition per  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 13:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * per page : it itself says: Terminology

Vulvovaginal atrophy, and atrophic vaginitis have been the preferred terms for this condition and cluster of symptoms until recently. These terms are now regarded as inaccurate in describing changes to the entire genitourinary system occurring after menopause. The term atrophic vaginitis suggests that the vagina is inflamed or infected. Though this may be true, inflammation and infection are not the major components of postmenopausal changes to the vagina. The former terms do not describe the negative effects on the lower urinary tract which can be the most troubling symptoms of menopause for women.[3] Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) was determined to be more accurate than vulvovaginal atrophy by two professional societies.[1][6][10] The term atrophic vaginitis does not reflect the related changes of the labia, clitoris, vestibule, urethra and bladder.[6]EncycloABC (talk) 20:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * so are we in agreement? I will change the redirect and create a new page for GSM EncycloABC (talk) 01:39, 16 March 2019 (UTC)


 * , if the term atrophic vaginitis has generally been replaced in use by GSM, should we just rename this page? ? —  A L T E R C A R I  ✍ 14:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. I think renaming is the best approach. Or some solution where GSM becomes it's own entity. (and AV becomes a thing subsumed under it)EncycloABC (talk) 17:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
