Estrogen receptors are present in all organs of the body, especially the skin and genitals. Therefore, after menopause, there is no follicular development and no estrogen secretion. This will cause estrogen deficiency, resulting in a decline in tissue elasticity and progressive atrophy. Especially after menopause, when sexual life is lacking, cervical atrophy is faster. After menopause, if the genitals of elderly women do not show atrophy, it is an abnormal phenomenon, which may be related to high estrogen levels and the risk of hormone-dependent tumors. Therefore, cervical atrophy in elderly women after menopause is a natural phenomenon and a natural rule, without treatment or intervention.
