Complications

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause increases your risk of:

• Vaginal infections. Changes in the acid balance of your vagina make vaginal infections more likely.
• Urinary problems. Urinary changes associated with GSM can contribute to urinary problems. You might experience increased frequency or urgency of urination or burning with urination. Some women experience more urinary tract infections or urine leakage (incontinence).
