This paper attempts to show the correlations between the subjective symptoms of the menopausal woman and of the condition of the vaginal and oral mucosa. Thirty female subjects were evaluated through psychiatric interviews (including brief psychiatric rating and anxiety scales), gynecological and oral physiological examinations. According to our findings, personality and psychosocial factors seem to play a major role in the development of ‘dry mouth syndrome’ during the menopausal stage.
