Vaginal atrophy, also known as atrophic vaginitis, is a condition where the vaginal walls become thinner and drier, often due to decreased estrogen levels after menopause. This can lead to discomfort and increased risk of infections. It affects many postmenopausal women, impacting their quality of life.
Vertigo, often described as a spinning sensation, can significantly impact a person's quality of life. It can cause dizziness, imbalance, and difficulty with everyday activities. While vertigo can affect people of all ages, it is particularly common among older adults.
