The primary symptoms of menopause are genitourinary

discomfort and night sweats that may disrupt sleep.
Hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for both
genitourinary and vasomotor symptoms.

The FDA has approved the steroid prasterone
(Intrarosa – Endoceutics) for intravaginal treatment
of postmenopausal women with moderate-to-severe
dyspareunia due to vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA). Also
called dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), prasterone
is produced in the adrenal glands, gonads, and brain
and converted intracellularly into active metabolites
of estrogens and androgens. DHEA has been available
over the counter for years as an oral dietary supplement
claimed to benefit sexual, cardiovascular, and
neuropsychiatric dysfunction.
