Spanish consensus on vulvar disorders in postmenopausal women.

Introduction: The consequences of vulvar disorders in terms of health, sexuality, and quality of life are usually undervalued, with disparities in the conceptual, diagnosis and treatment criteria.

Aim: The objective of this guide will be to analyse the factors associated with the diagnosis and treatment of vulvar disorders and to provide recommendations for the most appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures.

Methodology: A panel of experts from various Spanish scientific societies related to sexual health (Spanish Menopause Society [SMS] and the Asociación Española de Patología Cervical y Colposcopia [AEPCC]) met to reach a consensus on these issues and to decide the optimal timing and methods based on the best evidence available.

Position of the Spanish Menopause Society regarding the management of menopausal symptoms in breast cancer patients.

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in Spain. Its high prevalence, its high survival rate, and its incidence are the reasons treatment is increasingly sought for common problems by young women who have survived it. Besides the contraception and fertility issues, many breast cancer survivors develop sexual disorders and menopausal symptoms, whether as a consequence of treatment-induced menopause or side effects of treatment.
