Various other causes leading to decrease in estrogen levels include perimenopause, during breast feeding, surgical menopause, pelvic radiation therapy and chemotherapy and also as a side effect of breast cancer hormonal treatment. Symptoms of vaginal Atrophy include burning, redness, itching, dyspareuia, and irritation. Vaginal atrophy is a common result of the treatment of many gynecological cancers. Postmenopausal vaginal Atrophy is known to occur commonly due to increase in life expectancy and lengthening of average lifespan post menopause. Diagnosis for PVA includes pelvic examination, vaginal smear test, vaginal activity test, blood test and urine test.
