Abstract
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) encompasses menopausal genital and urinary symptoms associated with estrogen declines, which can have a negative impact on quality of life. Several options are available for treatment, with over-the-counter vaginal lubricants and moisturizers as first-line therapy, followed by local vaginal estrogens that treat the underlying condition. Nurse practitioners are positioned to help diagnose GSM as they are comfortable initiating the conversations necessary to put women at ease to disclose information necessary for an accurate diagnosis. They can then effectively communicate various options for treating the symptoms of GSM.
