Всемирная организация здравоохранения прогнозирует к 2030 г. четырехкратное увеличение численности женщин старше 70 лет, при этом многие из них в возрасте после 45 лет могут столкнуться с проблемами климактерического периода. Климактерий является физиологическим состоянием в жизни женщины, в течение которого на фоне возрастных изменений происходят постепенное снижение и выключение функции яичников и прекращение выработки эстрогенов. Генитоуринарный синдром встречается у каждой третьей женщины в этом периоде. Эстриол — основной эстроген, который таргетно решает проблемы, обусловленные эстрогенной недостаточностью: диспареунии, сухости и зуда во влагалище и нижних отделах мочеполового тракта, нарушения мочевыведения, умеренного недержания мочи, а также рецидивирующего вульвовагинита и цистита. Вульвовагинальная дистрофия у женщин старшей возрастной группы — это мультидисциплинарная проблема на стыке гинекологии, урологии и дерматологии, которая может и должна быть решена для предотвращения более тяжелой гинекологической и урологической патологий.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Studies of recent decades show a steady increase in the average life expectancy of a person, and women in particular. The World Health Organization predicts a four-fold increase in the number of women over 70 by 2030, and many of them over the age of 45 may face menopausal problems. Menopause is a physiological state in a woman’s life, during which, against the background of age-related changes, there is a gradual decrease and shutdown of ovarian function and the cessation of estrogen production. Genitourinary syndrome occurs in every third woman in this period. Estriol is the main estrogen that specifically addresses problems associated with estrogen deficiency: dyspareunia, dryness and itching in the vagina and lower genitourinary tract, urinary incontinence, moderate urinary incontinence, and recurrent vulvovaginitis and cystitis. Vulvovaginal dystrophy in women of the older age group is a multidisciplinary problem at the intersection of gynecology, urology and dermatology, which can and should be solved to prevent more severe gynecological and urological pathologies.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эстриол</kwd><kwd>вульвовагинальная атрофия</kwd><kwd>генитоуринарный синдром</kwd><kwd>постменопауза</kwd><kwd>недержание мочи</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>estriol</kwd><kwd>vulvo-vaginal atrophy</kwd><kwd>genitourinary syndrome</kwd><kwd>postmenopause</kwd><kwd>urinary incontinence</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="cit1"><mixed-citation publication-type="commun" publication-format="web"><name><surname>Andreeva</surname> <given-names>E.N.</given-names></name>, <name><surname>Sheremet'eva</surname> <given-names>E.V.</given-names></name> <article-title>Psikhicheskie aspekty i narushenie zhirovogo obmena v klimakterii</article-title> // <source>Akusherstvo i ginekologiya.</source> — <year>2019</year>. — №<month>9</month>. — S. <fpage>165</fpage>-<lpage>172</lpage>.</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="cit2"><mixed-citation publication-type="commun" publication-format="web"><name><surname>Tkacheva</surname> <given-names>O.N.</given-names></name>, <name><surname>Runikhina</surname> <given-names>N.K.</given-names></name>, <name><surname>Kotovskaya</surname> <given-names>Yu.V.</given-names></name>, i dr. <article-title>Metodicheskie rekomendatsii «Profilaktika prezhdevremennogo stareniya u zhenshchin».</article-title> M;
