Despite considerable achievements on the basis of highlighted fundamental medicine questions of an etiopatogenesis, it continues to remain not fully elucidated. It is supposed that more thorough investigation skin aging processes can conceptually change our pathological understanding, in this case dystrophic changes of skin of a vulva and vagina. Correction methods remain unresolved, although there is obvious progress in this field.Дистрофические процессы вульвы были и остаются проблемой как практической, так и теоретической медицины. Несмотря на значительные достижения на основе открытий фундаментальной медицины, вопросы этиопатогенеза продолжают оставаться не до конца ясными. Предполагается, что более углубленное изучение процессов старения кожи концептуально может изменить наше понимание патологических, в данном случае дистрофических изменений кожи вульвы и влагалища. Открытыми остаются методы коррекции, хотя определенный прогресс в этом налицо.dystrophyvulvaskin ageingдистрофиявульвастарение кожи1.Bornstein J., Sideri M., Tatti S. et al.
