MAIN ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEM OF CYSTITIS IN POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

The increase in life expectancy in the world is accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of age-related pathological conditions. According to WHO, by 2030, about 1.2 billion women will be in the postmenopausal period, which is accompanied by the development of urogenital disorders. Diagnosis and treatment of women with cystitis in the postmenopausal period is not only a medical, but also a socially significant problem that entails both physical and psychological maladaptation. The aim of the study was to analyze and systematize the results of modern scientific research on the diagnosis and treatment of cystitis in postmenopausal women. The studied published data of 50 literary sources published over the past 10 years in international databases on the problem of diagnosing and managing cystitis in postmenopausal women. Estrogen deficiency is the main predictor of the development of cystitis in postmenopausal women, which is accompanied by various urogenital disorders with the development of atrophic and dystrophic processes in the estrogen-dependent organs of the lower third of the urinary tract. In modern conditions, the standardization of the clinical manifestations of cystitis in postmenopausal women is particularly relevant and is the best tool for monitoring the quality of treatment and assessing the quality of life.
