Abstract

As women age, hormonal changes set the stage for a variety of vulvovaginal pathologies. Health care providers in long-term care facilities should be able to recognize and treat these conditions, especially because residents may be unable to communicate their discomfort. The objective of this article is to highlight the major vulvovaginal conditions affecting older women and provide up-to-date information on treatment for providers in long-term care facilities.
