Gynecologic issues in geriatric women
J Womens Health (Larchmt).
2012 Jan.
Abstract
The number of women over the age of 65 is projected to almost double in the next 20 years, and clinicians need to be comfortable treating conditions common to this cohort. This review covers several common gynecologic conditions seen in older women, including atrophic vaginitis, lichen sclerosis, pelvic floor disorders, and postmenopausal bleeding. We conclude with evidence-based screening recommendations for gynecologic cancers in older women and tips on doing a pelvic examination.
