I would just implore anyone that's listening, that has these symptoms: don't just give up and think that that's it. Just even a kind of inkling of pain or soreness or UTIs, urinary tract infections. We're just going to get on with this and it's just the burden we have to bear to know.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the changes menopause brings? Dr. Claire Phipps and Caroline Phipps-Urch, also known as The Menopause Sisters, are here to help. In this episode, they dive into the often-overlooked topic of vaginal health during menopause. With honesty and a touch of humor, Caroline discusses how fluctuating estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness and soreness. She shares practical tips like using vaginal estrogen and lubricants to ease these symptoms.
But it’s not just about products; lifestyle choices matter too. Caroline advises limiting caffeine and alcohol, as they can irritate the bladder and vagina. To top it off, she demonstrates pelvic floor exercises that can help stabilize the pelvic floor, making daily life more comfortable. And if you’ve ever felt awkward saying the word 'vagina', this episode might just change that. Caroline emphasizes the importance of owning the term and understanding your body.
She even recommends Jane Lewis' book 'Me and My Menopausal Vagina' as a must-read resource. Whether you’re going through menopause or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to make this transition smoother.
