SH23094Bacterial vaginosis after menopause: factors associated and women’s experiences: a cross-sectional study of Australian postmenopausal women
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal discharge in reproductive age women, yet little is known about it in postmenopausal women. This survey of Australian postmenopausal women found that women continue to report bacterial vaginosis after menopause, it affects their quality of life, and it is associated with sexual activity. Women of all ages are susceptible to bacterial vaginosis, research should not be limited to younger women, and developing an appropriate testing method should be a research priority.
