In the manifestation and development of urogenital atrophic processes associated with the onset of menopause, the leading role is played by the growing deficiency of estrogens. An important circumstance is the fact that genitourinar menopausal disorders are often accompanied by other climacteric disorders. In this regard, a key place in the prevention and correction of hypoestrogenic conditions is systemic menopausal hormone therapy. Among the representatives of systemic menopausal hormone therapy, clinical efficacy and low risk of possible complications were demonstrated by preparations containing 17b-estradiol in combination with drospirenone. In the literature there is a significant number of publications reflecting the positive effect of these drugs on the condition of women with vasomotor, psychoemotional climacteric disorders, with a decrease in bone mass. Also, these drugs are used in the therapy and prevention of atrophic processes of the urogenital tract. This allows us to apply this combination of hormones in the complex correction of systemic and local genitourinary menopausal disorders.
