During menopause, when estrogen levels drop, the lining of the vagina can become thin and dry, and this may lead to inflammation and infections. This condition is known as atrophic vaginitis, which causes vaginal dryness and irritation, as well as pain and discomfort. Atrophic vaginitis can also interfere with sexual intimacy by making intercourse uncomfortable.

Healthcare professionals have found that providing women with estrogen during menopause can relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of atrophic vaginitis. Local estrogen therapy, such as VAGIFEM®, treats the symptoms of atrophic vaginitis by delivering estrogen directly to the vagina where it is needed. Women usually experience relief from symptoms within a few weeks of starting therapy, although it may take longer for more severe cases.

VAGIFEM® is the only vaginal tablet available containing estrogen. VAGIFEM® is cleanly and easily inserted into the vagina, providing local treatment of atrophic vaginitis by providing the estrogen lost during menopause. VAGIFEM® tablets come in preloaded, disposable applicators. The thin, smooth applicator provided with VAGIFEM® is easily inserted into the vagina. It delivers the tablet with a click of a button and can be discarded in the household trash.

Ans. Atrophic changes in reproductive tract lead to dyspareunia (pain/burning during coitus), pruritus (Itching / irritation / soreness of vulva and vagina). Changes in the urinary tract include urgency and frequency of urine, painful urination and infections. Changes in the skin include dry and loose skin and increased feeling of cold due to decrease in subcutaneous fat.

Gardnerela vaginalis vaginitis infection is a nonspecific or bacterial vaginal infection. It is foul smelling, sometimes fishy if the environment is less acidic, and produces a grayish white discharge. The fishy odor may become more pronounced after sexual intercourse due to the presence of semen.

Atrophy is a very powerful word, and when an ultrasound shows a small uterus, it's often called 'atrophic'. This brings up images of a little old lady's uterus in the body of a young woman, and it makes people upset. The uterus is incredibly responsive to hormonal stimulation. The tiny uterus seen in a preadolescent girl or a postmenopausal woman would grow in days to weeks if the person was given a little estrogen.

Your doctor will be able to treat your Gardnerella vaginalis vaginitis infection with metronidazole or clindamycin. Both treatments are safe throughout pregnancy. Metronidazole can be taken orally or vaginally. Clindamycin can only be taken vaginally. Some doctors feel that the presence of G.V. vaginitis may increase the incidence of preterm labor.
