Abstract

Gynecologic concerns in postmenopausal women are common. Although various conditions may affect all women in this age group, the prevalence of certain disorders, and also diagnostic approaches and treatment options, may vary significantly when considering very elderly women compared with those early in the sixth decade. The focus of this chapter is to address several commonly encountered gynecologic issues in postmenopausal women, with particular attention given to aspects that must be considered when caring for women in the geriatric age group.
