Abstract

The physiological effects of the decline in circulating oestrogen, combined with the ageing process, put postmenopausal women at risk of urogynaecological dysfunction. Most kind of problems are about bladder, bowel and sexual function and perineal comfort. Many of these can be solved with medical treatment, but sometimes surgery is necessary for example in case of stress urinary incontinence or faecal incontinence.
