Treatment of Menopausal Symptoms When Hormone Therapy Is Contraindicated.
(PubMed, Semin Reprod Med)
- "This review explores alternative nonhormonal treatments, including pharmacological options like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, gabapentin, clonidine, and neurokinin receptor antagonists (e.g., fezolinetant), alongside nonpharmacological approaches such as lifestyle modifications, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and acupuncture. GSM management includes therapies such as vaginal estrogens, prasterone, and ospemifene, with tailored approaches necessary for cancer survivors. Emphasis is placed on individualized care, better patient education, and continued research into the safety and efficacy of these therapies to improve the QoL for postmenopausal women."

Comparison of estrogens and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) used for menopausal hormone therapy.
(PubMed, Menopause)
- "Commonly used SERMs include tamoxifen, raloxifene, ospemifene, lasofoxifene, and bazedoxifene. Lastly, E4 has emerged as a novel estrogen with beneficial effects on VMS, GSM, and bone, and neutral effects on the breast and hemostatic factors. A personalized approach, based on each woman's biological profile, is recommended to guide the choice of MHT."

Beyond hormones: 3PM approach to vaginal microbiota dynamics in postmenopausal women.
(PubMed, EPMA J)
- "The analysis evaluated microbiota-based risk stratification strategies for vaginal dysbiosis and demonstrated the effectiveness of both hormonal interventions (systemic/local estrogen, tibolone, ospemifene) and non-hormonal alternatives (probiotics, energy-based devices, pessary) in normalizing microbiota composition and improving vaginal health. Developing standardized yet personalized protocols to restore a balanced vaginal microbiome could help alleviate menopause-related symptoms. Advancing microbiota-based personalized therapeutic approaches is crucial to enhancing the quality of life for postmenopausal women through targeted and individualized vaginal health management."

- "Addressing genitourinary symptoms and sexual health, vaginal estrogen therapy is confirmed as a safe and effective option with vaginal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and oral ospemifene as suitable alternatives, while testosterone therapy offers benefits for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women...Cancer risk management stressed the need for a multidisciplinary approach to risk reduction beginning with lifestyle modification, and with non-hormonal therapies prioritized for symptomatic treatment of menopausal symptoms in those with hormone-sensitive cancers. Lastly, perimenopause management highlighted comprehensive approaches integrating symptom relief and contraceptive needs."

Update on Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause: A Scoping Review of a Tailored Treatment-Based Approach.
(PubMed, Life (Basel))
- "First-line treatments typically include lubricants and moisturizers for short-term symptom relief, while unresolved or severe cases may warrant hormonal treatment. Topical hormonal treatments often have fewer side effects than systemic alternatives. Special attention is given to selective estrogen receptor modulators like ospemifene and steroid hormones like dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which have shown beneficial effects on GSM symptoms. Moreover, innovative therapeutic approaches, such as laser treatment, are discussed in the context of their efficacy and accessibility. The safety of GSM hormonal therapy in women with a history or risk of cancer is also addressed, noting the need for more definitive research in this area. While there is a growing demand for tailored therapy, this scoping review emphasizes the importance of effective communication and counseling to allow women to make informed decisions about their treatment. Overall, this review underscores the need..."

Effect of Vaginal Laser and Topical Therapies on Vulvovaginal Atrophy Symptoms in Breast Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

- " We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify effective treatment options for VVA, including topical estrogen, systemic hormone therapy, vaginal DHEA, ospemifene, and non-hormonal methods like intravaginal laser therapy, moisturizers, and lubricants... Intravaginal laser therapy is an effective treatment for VVA symptoms in breast cancer survivors, particularly in improving the Vaginal Health Index and reducing dyspareunia. Despite the strengths of the study, variability among studies, lack of RCT-s and data limitations, especially on long-term effects, present challenges."

Treatments for genitourinary syndrome of menopause: a systematic review of hormonal interventions and vaginal moisturizers
(NAMS 2024)
- "Vaginal testosterone, systemic DHEA, vaginal oxytocin, and oral raloxifene or bazedoxifene showed no benefit (low to moderate COE) or had uncertain effects (very low COE). Vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA, oral ospemifene, and vaginal moisturizers may improve some GSM symptoms. Little long-term data exists on efficacy, comparative effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of GSM treatments. Future research would be strengthened by standard definitions of symptoms and uniform diagnostic criteria for GSM, a common set of validated outcome measures and reporting standards, comparative effectiveness trials, and long-term follow-up for efficacy, tolerability, and safety."

There are a large number of patients in the TriNetX database diagnosed with GSM. A majority of these patients receive treatment, though a large portion receive no intervention. Patients typically receive a singular therapy, which is overwhelmingly topical estrogen."
