Genitourinary syndrome of menopause: what the research reports, and who it studied

A common, treatable but under-discussed effect of menopause. Review the research base.

As of 7 July 2026, OpenAlex indexes about 3,000 works matching "vaginal atrophy genitourinary menopause". FemHealth searches PubMed, Europe PMC, OpenAlex and ClinicalTrials.gov together and shows, on every result, how many of those studies actually report who was included by sex.
