This muscle is not accessible to any other therapeutic measure, and its function is rarely improved by surgical procedures. [gyneflex.com]
When a physician is unfamiliar with the office surgical technique required for an excisional biopsy or related diagnostic procedure, referral to a dermatologist or gynecologist is warranted. [emedicine.medscape.com]
- Sepsis
Median age of presentation is 65 years and less than one-third are associated with underlying malignancy. 2 Other causes are foreign bodies, puerperal infections or uterine anomalies. 3 The main complications are bacteremia, sepsis and spontaneous uterine [recli.elsevier.es]
There are, however, anecdotal reports of current cases of GAS puerperal sepsis and an increase in the rate of GAS isolated from high vaginal swab samples obtained from menarchal women with vaginal discharge [ 2 ]. [academic.oup.com]

Be aware that vaginal examination may be uncomfortable or painful if the patient has atrophic vaginitis. Vaginal examination may show: Thin mucosa with diffuse erythema. Occasional petechiae or ecchymoses. Dryness. Lack of vaginal folds. [patient.info]
The peri menopause symptoms associated with atrophic vaginitis are:- Genital Dryness Vaginal Bleeding - postmenopausal bleeding or a bloody vaginal discharge. [2womenshealth.com]
Fast facts on atrophic vaginitis Atrophic vaginitis refers to dryness of the vagina. Around 40 percent of postmenopausal women experience symptoms, but many do not seek treatment. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Workup
Value of detailed endocrinological workup is debatable. In addition to various serological tests like free testosterone, ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis is essential. [jmidlifehealth.org]
Differential Diagnosis and Workup Workup and procedures If the diagnosis is not readily apparent, unaided (ie, naked-eye) or colposcopic examination of the vulva may define areas of abnormality that may warrant biopsy using a Keyes punch or biopsy forceps [emedicine.medscape.com]
Transient causes of incontinence should be sought before undertaking an extensive workup. These causes include infection, medications, constipation, delirium, and mobility problems. [glowm.com]

treatment can be used. [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatments are often underused because of patient and clinician lack of knowledge of available treatments, embarrassment about initiating a discussion of symptoms and reluctance to initiate hormonal therapy. [patient.info]
Prognosis
Vulvar cancer is usually associated with a poor prognosis. [amboss.com]
Prognosis depends on the medical condition. Spontaneously perforated pyometra has better prognosis if not associated with malignancy. 6 Also, pyometra that is early diagnosed and treated have good prognosis. [recli.elsevier.es]

Prognosis The condition usually responds to proper treatment. In resistant cases, the uterus should be curetted to exclude endometrial carcinoma or associated senile endometritis. www.freelivedoctor.com [slideshare.net]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Vaginal cancer is closely related to vulvar cancer in terms of etiology and histology, but it occurs inside the vagina (typically the posterior third of the vaginal wall), rather than the vulva. [amboss.com]
The etiologies of other benign connective tumors in this area are unknown. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology 1-Menpopause: due to lack of estrogen. Dramatic decline in the circulating estrogen levels occurs at menopause from 120 pg/ml to 18 pg/ml 2-Pelvic irradiation or chemotherapy 3-Oophorectomy 4-Anti-estrogns: e.g. [slideshare.net]
(Etiology) The primary causative factor for Atrophic Vaginitis is lower levels of estrogen production. [dovemed.com]
