Does postmenopausal mucosal congestion require treatment?

The mucosa mentioned here usually refers to the vaginal mucosa. Whether vaginal mucosal congestion after menopause requires treatment is uncertain. It should be analyzed based on the accompanying symptoms and examination results, as follows:

1. Situations that require treatment: After menopause, if the vaginal mucosa is severely congested, causing vaginal itching, pain, increased secretions, or even blood, and examination shows vaginitis, then treatment is generally required, usually with the use of vaginal suppositories, such as metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, clotrimazole tablets, etc.

2. Situations where no treatment is needed: If the vaginal mucosa is only slightly congested but not serious and does not cause other discomfort symptoms, and no serious problems are found after testing the secretions, then no treatment is needed for the time being. Pay attention to the cleanliness and care of the vagina, wash it every day, and drink plenty of water. It will usually return to normal on its own. If the condition worsens, then seek treatment.

After menopause, you should pay attention to maintaining an optimistic attitude and improve your nutrition through diet.
