摘要

研究目的确定更年期泌尿生殖系统综合征（GSM）的患病率以及她们对这一问题的认识、态度和看法：研究设计：采用专门设计的调查问卷，对 2021 年 8 月至 2022 年 4 月期间在泰国曼谷瓦吉拉医院就诊的 500 名泰国绝经后妇女进行了访谈：结果：500 名参与者的平均年龄为 60.39±8.12 岁。GSM 患病率为 47.2%。受 GSM 影响的常见症状是阴道干涩（38.5%）、尿急（24.6%）、排尿困难（13.6%）、阴道刺激（10.2%）、阴道灼热（7.2%）和排尿困难（5.9%）。二分之一的妇女在谈论全球通时感到不自在。四分之三没有透露 GSM 症状的妇女认为，这个问题是衰老的一部分。只有 20.3% 的有症状的妇女咨询过医疗保健提供者 (HCP)。在接受治疗的妇女中，84.6%的人表示生活质量有所改善：结论：GSM 会显著降低生活质量。大多数有症状的泰国绝经后妇女认为问题出在衰老过程上。提高对全球通和现有治疗方法的认识将带来更多益处。

Thai postmenopausal woman's view in genitourinary syndrome of menopause.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and their awareness, attitudes, and perception of this issue.

Study design: Using a specifically designed questionnaire, interviews were performed on 500 Thai postmenopausal women who attended at Vajira Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, from August 2021 to April 2022.

Results: The mean age of the 500 participants was 60.39 ± 8.12 years. The prevalence of GSM was 47.2%. The common symptoms affected by GSM were vaginal dryness (38.5%), urinary urgency (24.6%), dyspareunia (13.6%), vaginal irritation (10.2%), vaginal burning (7.2%), and dysuria (5.9%). One-half of the women were uncomfortable talking about GSM. Three-quarters who did not reveal GSM symptoms believed that the problem was a part of aging. Only 20.3% of women who suffer from symptoms consulted a health care provider (HCP). Of the women who had been prescribed treatment, 84.6% of these women reported better quality of life.

Conclusions: GSM is a meaningful decrement in quality of life. Most Thai postmenopausal women who had symptoms believed that the problem was the aging process. Awareness of GSM and available treatment would be a further benefit.

期刊介绍： Post Reproductive Health (formerly Menopause International) is a MEDLINE indexed, peer reviewed source of news, research and opinion. Aimed at all those involved in the field of post reproductive health study and treatment, it is a vital resource for all practitioners and researchers. As the official journal of the British Menopause Society (BMS), Post Reproductive Health has a broad scope, tackling all the issues in this field, including the current controversies surrounding postmenopausal health and an ageing and expanding female population. Initially this journal will concentrate on the key areas of menopause, sexual health, urogynaecology, metabolic bone disease, cancer diagnosis and treatment, recovering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognition, prescribing, use of new hormone therapies, psychology, the science of ageing, sociology, economics, and quality of life. However as a progressive and innovative journal the Editors are always willing to consider other areas relevant to this rapidly expanding area of healthcare.
