Genitourinary syndrome of menopause refers to the collection of signs and symptoms associated with decrease in estrogen and other sex steroids involving changes in labia majora/minora, clitoris, vestibule/introitus, vagina, urethra, and bladder. This term was coined in 2014 to reduce the stigma associated with genital symptoms after menopause. Our patient is a 65-year-old woman, menopausal for the past 15 years, who presented with dribbling of urine for 1 month. On examination, she was diagnosed with complete labial fusion. Diabetes was incidentally detected and antidiabetic treatment was started. Considering dense labial adhesion, the patient underwent surgical separation of labia under anesthesia. Postoperatively, she was put on topical estrogen therapy and was advised to maintain proper hygiene. She was followed up regularly for a month to prevent refusion.
绝经后泌尿生殖综合征是指与雌激素及其他性激素减少相关的一系列体征和症状,涉及大阴唇/小阴唇、阴蒂、前庭/阴道口、阴道、尿道和膀胱的变化。这个术语于2014年被创造出来,以减少绝经后生殖器症状相关的污名化。我们的患者是一名65岁女性,已绝经15年,出现尿液滴沥1个月。经检查,她被诊断为完全性阴唇融合。偶然发现患有糖尿病并开始进行抗糖尿病治疗。考虑到致密的阴唇粘连,患者在麻醉下接受了阴唇手术分离。术后,她接受了局部雌激素治疗,并被建议保持良好的卫生习惯。对她进行了为期一个月的定期随访以防止再次融合。
