Vulvar vaginal atrophy is a common condition affecting postmenopausal women, significantly impacting their quality of life. Fortunately, various treatment options are available, ranging from hormonal to non-hormonal therapies. Ospemifene has emerged as a promising non-hormonal alternative for managing vulvar vaginal atrophy. Its targeted approach, unique mechanism of action, favorable safety profile particularly for breast tissue, and efficacy make it a valuable option for women seeking relief from symptoms such as vaginal pain, dryness and dyspareunia and cannot receive estrogen supplementations. This is particularly the case for breast cancer survivors or women with a significant family history of estrogen-dependent cancers. Hence, tailored treatment plans, considering individual preferences and health circumstances, are essential in optimizing outcomes and improving the overall well-being of affected individuals.
外阴阴道萎缩是一种影响绝经后女性的常见病症,严重影响她们的生活质量。幸运的是,有多种治疗选择,从激素疗法到非激素疗法。奥司米芬已成为治疗外阴阴道萎缩的一种有前景的非激素替代药物。其靶向治疗方法、独特的作用机制、特别是对乳腺组织有利的安全性以及疗效,使其成为寻求缓解阴道疼痛、干燥和性交困难等症状且无法接受雌激素补充治疗的女性的一个有价值的选择。对于乳腺癌幸存者或有雌激素依赖性癌症家族病史的女性尤其如此。因此,考虑个体偏好和健康状况制定个性化的治疗方案,对于优化治疗效果和改善受影响个体的整体健康至关重要。
