Estrogen Decline at Menopause

Placeholder: falling ovarian estrogen removes trophic support from vaginal tissue.

51: Median menopause age (Placeholder stat)
~90%: Estrogen drop (Placeholder stat)
~50%: Women affected by GSM (Placeholder stat)
1–3 yrs: Onset window (Placeholder stat)

Vaginal Mucosal Thinning

Placeholder: epithelial cell layers lose thickness without estrogen stimulation.

↓ 3–5: Epithelial layers lost (Placeholder stat)
↓ sharply: Superficial cells (Placeholder stat)
4.5 → 6.5: pH shift (Placeholder stat)
gradual: Onset (Placeholder stat)

Reduced Elasticity and Lubrication

Placeholder: collagen loss and dryness reduce elasticity and comfort.

↓ significant: Elasticity loss (Placeholder stat)
↓ markedly: Lubrication (Placeholder stat)
common: Dyspareunia rate (Placeholder stat)
elevated: Microfissure risk (Placeholder stat)
