The 2026 Menopause Society Annual Meeting

Join us for dinner in San Diego at the Menopause Society Conference 2026.

The team is excited to see you at the Menopause Society Conference in San Diego and hopes you can join us for Menopause and the Urogenital Microbiome — a dinner program will take a deep-dive into the multisystem interaction, the menopause dynamic and considerations for wrap-around support in patient care.

Menopause and the Urogenital Microbiome
Thursday, Oct. 22
7:15 – 9:30 p.m.
San Diego Hilton | Cobalt 500 Room

Urogenital health is influenced by a healthy gut microbiome and its intersection with hormones. Changes in the urinary and vaginal microbiomes occur after menopause and may lead to clinical pathology including the genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Achieving a healthier urogenital microbiome can occur with use of vaginal hormones but consideration of natural, OTC and non-hormonal options may help further alleviate patient symptoms.

The program will feature special guest presenter, Christina Kramer, MD, FACOG, NCMP, board-certified OB/GYN, National Certified Menopause Practitioner (NCMP) and FEMM provider. She has a special interest in hormone disorders, including PMOD, perimenopause, and menopause. 

Learning Objectives

• Be able to describe the basic biology of the urogenital tissues.
• Identify key changes to the urogenital tissue after menopause.
• Describe what a healthy vaginal microbiome looks like and its multisystem interactions.
• Understand clinical symptoms and pathology that arise from dysbiosis  of  the urovaginal microbiome.
•  Learn how gut, urinary and vaginal microbiomes intersect.
• Discuss how hormones and microbiomes are interconnected.
• Understand the importance of a microbiome-considered approach and  how natural, OTC and non-hormonal solutions support it.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
