In a world where women are barraged with information when it comes to how best to manage menopause, it can be overwhelming and confusing. Between having their symptoms dismissed by their regular physician, and then being overwhelmed with information on social media, it’s hard to know what’s fact and hype. And what do you do when the doctor you trust, tells you that the social media expert you also trust is wrong?
In this episode, I chat with Tamsen Fadal, a menopause advocate who has made it her mission to help perimenopausal and menopausal women navigate through the information and disinformation to get the correct information when it comes to maximizing their health.
Tamsen’s own experience when she entered menopauseWhy Tamsen switched careers to become a menopause advocateHow do you know an expert is really an expert?The best way to find a menopause expertThe impact of telehealth on finding a menopause expertWhat to do if your own doctor is not a menopause expertWhy women put relatability over expertiseHot to figure out if a social media expert is an expertWhat to do when a social media expert disagrees with your own doctorDo healthcare clinicians need to act professionally in their private lives? What I think when it comes to being strictly evidence-based Tamsen Fadal

It can be terrifying to have bleeding when you are post-menopause. It’s not just about making the midnight run for tampons, it’s that stomach-dropping fear that “blood equals cancer” that causes women to spend hours consulting Dr. Google for some reassurance. But, although most women imagine the worst, in most cases, postmenopausal spotting or bleeding is not, is not, an indication of anything serious.How to know WHERE the blood is coming fromThe 3 causes of Post Menopause VAGINAL WALL BLEEDINGWhat causes Post Menopause CERVICAL BLEEDINGCauses of UTERINE BLEEDING post menopauseUterine POLYPSUterine FIBROIDS Uterine ATROPHYPost menopause “PERIODS” Endometrial HYPERPLASIAUterine CANCER and Pre-cancerThe role of ULTRASOUND and saline ultrasoundThe Why and What to expect of endometrial BIOPSIESWhen and why a D and C /HYSTEROSCOPY is needed Link to newsletter on hormone disrupters: https://mailchi.mp/drstreicher.com/august-2024-inside-information-newsletter-17984227

The market for adult diapers in the US is almost as large as the market for baby diapers. Part of this trend is because birth rates have slowed and longevity continues to lengthen. Still, the other reason why almost 50% of adults experience some form of urinary incontinence is due to an increase in risk factors. Today, with my guest, urologist Dr. Rachel Rubin, I am taking on the taboo topic of urinary incontinence- why it happens and how to make it go away.
This episode originally aired during Season 1
We discuss:The difference between urge, stress, and mixed incontinenceRisk factors for developing stress incontinenceWays to manage incontinence.Diapers and pads Urine absorbent underwear Pessaries and other vaginal support devicesThe impact of local vaginal estrogen on incontinenceThe impact of systemic estrogen on stress incontinenceWhy it is important to have an exam when treated for incontinenceStrategies to treat a dysfunctional pelvic floorPelvic floor physical therapy Kegel exercises- and why they rarely workOver-the-counter devicesWhy medications for overactive bladder do not work to treat stress incontinenceUrethral bulking agents as an optionWhen surgery is appropriateIf a hysterectomy increases the risk of incontinenceIf Botox in the bladder will helpHow to find an expert in incontinenceRachelrubinMD.com

A recent New York Times article was titled “The Troubling Trend in Teenage Sex”. Before I even clicked, I knew what that troubling trend was since I had recently attended a medical conference where I heard a lecture from Dr. Debbie Herbenick about the increasing numbers of young adults who were including CHOKING as part of their sexual repertoire. Today I am having a conversation with Dr. Herbenick about how common this practice has become, why it is problematic, along with other current trends in sexual practices across America, and in all age groups.
What SEXUAL PLEASURE looks like and if that has changed over the yearsWhat SPECIFICALLY is HAPPENING when someone incorporates “choking” into their sexual practiceHOW COMMON this practice isIf this is CONSENSUALIf CHOKING is common off college campusesThe short- and long-term MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES of chokingWHAT PARENTS of teens and young adults NEED to KNOWHOW TO TALK TO YOUR TEEN and young adult about difficult topicsIf people have DIED from this practiceThe LEGAL PROSPECTIVE of rough sexDr. Herbenick’s NEW RESEARCH on SEX TOYS and vibrator useIf the ORGASM GAP is narrowing among adult men and women INNOVATIVE SEX TOYS such as The WomanizerIf sexual practices today mirror what is seen in PORNOGRAPHYAs people AGE, do they watch more or less porn?If men watch different types of pornography than womenHow PORN has CHANGED

When there is a lack of lust decades into an otherwise loving marriage or relationship, many, if not most, women assume their indifference to sex is a result of declining hormone levels and that a prescription for estrogen, testosterone or a libido enhancing drug will re-light the flame. A plunge in hormones can be part of the problem, and sometimes a trip to the pharmacy will help, but there are a lot of other reasons that have nothing to do with hormones or menopause that impact on keeping that sexual spark alive.
In this episode, I am joined Dr. Alexandra Solomon, the author of Loving Bravely, Taking Sexy Back, and her latest book, Love Every Day- 365 relational self-awareness practices, to help your relationship heal, grow and thrive.
Is the MONOTONY of monogamy inevitable? What is “RELATIONAL SELF AWARENESS”?What is UNPACKING and why is it important?Tips to CONFLICT RESOLUTION as opposed to conflict escalation? What if you are in a good place in terms of love and intimacy, but are worried about losing that connection over time? Why it is important to understand your PARENTS relationship to have better adult relationshipsLEAVE the relationship or FIX the relationship? What if you “love them” but are not “In love with them?” What do you tell women when it comes to LIBIDO DRUGS to reignite the spark?Why women are often resistant to SEX THERAPY?How past sexual TRAUMA can inform current sexual experiences, and how to reclaim pleasure
Dr. Alexandra H. Solomon is internationally recognized as one of today’s most trusted voices in the world of relationships, and her framework for Relational Self-Awareness has reached millions of people around the globe. A couples therapist, speaker, author, and professor, Dr. Alexandra is passionate about translating cutting-edge research and clinical wisdom into practical tools people can use to bring awareness, curiosity, and authenticity to their relationships.

Women who have a history of a blood clot, or a risk factor that makes them at high risk for developing a blood clot are generally told that hormone therapy is not an option. And then there is that terrifying black box warning on every single estrogen product, including local vaginal estrogens, that states, “Using estrogen alone may increase your chances of getting strokes or blood clots”
Except nothing in that statement is true when it comes to transdermal or local vaginal estrogens. So, why is it even there? And what is the risk?
In this episode:Why getting a blood clot (DVT) is a problemNon-hormonal factors that increase the risk of blood clotsHormonal factors that increase the risk of a blood clotThe likelihood of getting a blood clot whileTaking birth control pills During pregnancyDuring post-partum Taking oral hormone therapy While taking transdermal estrogen While using a local vaginal estrogenThe difference between HRT, HT, and MHTWhen a transdermal estrogen rather than an oral estrogen is recommendedThe problem with class labelingFor more information

There continues to be great confusion regarding the impact of hormone therapy on the breast. And despite the known benefits of hormone therapy, and reassuring data regarding the impact of hormone therapy on breast cancer, most clinicians are still reluctant to prescribe it, and most women are reluctant to take it. Even more so if a woman is high risk for breast cancer or has a breast cancer diagnosis.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified Ob GYN and menopause expert who herself had a breast cancer diagnosis when she was in her 20s. We will be reviewing the latest research on the impact of estrogen on the breast in several different scenarios.
PREGNANCY post breast cancerWomen who have a BREAST CANCER diagnosis Women with a FAMILY HISTORY of breast cancerWomen with a BRCA MUTATION after prophylactic ovary removalThe approach to therapy for women with a NEW BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSISThe use of local vaginal estrogen in women with a breast cancer diagnosis that are taking TAMOXIFEN or using an AROMOTASE INHIBITORIf a LOCAL VAGINAL ESTROGEN needs to be used at the lowest doseWhat to do if your DOCTOR NOT WILLING to prescribe local or systemic estrogen (list of articles to share is below) If a woman with a breast cancer diagnosis can use TESTOSTERONE for libido and other possible benefits

Men have always had the obvious advantage of inspecting their genitalia with essentially no effort on their part. For women, it’s a little more challenging. Combine that with the recommendation that there is no need for women to have a gynecologic exam as they get older, most doctors are also not looking. Today I am joined by Dr.Jill Krapf, a gynecologist whose area of expertise is …the vulva. We will be discussing one of the most maddening, frustrating symptoms in all of gynecology- THE ITCHY VULVA , but just as important, why even if your vulva isn’t itching, why it still needs some attention.
In this episode Why it is important to have a VULVAR EXAMWhy VULVAR CANCER numbers are increasingHOW to inspect your vulva What products can IRRITATE the vulva and should be avoided When URINE is the culprit The difference between a VULVAR YEAST infection and a vaginal yeast infection How to get rid of CHRONIC YEAST Vulvar itching from LOW ESTROGEN How to know if you have a dermatologic condition such as LICHEN SCLEROSUS How to get the best results from your lichen sclerosus treatment If your vulvar itching could be CANCER Why even if your vulva is not itchy, it still needs to get checked regularly

More likely than not, if you are over 65, your internist has declared everything between your belly button and your thighs to be the “NO NEED” zone. “NO NEED” for a pap, “NO NEED” need for a speculum, “NO NEED” to remove your underpants, and definitely “NO NEED” to see a gynecologist unless you have a specific problem. But in today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Shieva Ghofrany to explain the flaw in this reasoning and why “no complaint” is not the same as “No problem”.
We discuss specific issues that are addressed post menopause:

… and how to increase longevity with and without hormone therapy
The idea that menopause only lasts for a few years is a common misconception. You may have even been told by a medical professional that when you no longer have hot flashes, you are done with menopause!
But menopause means you’re no longer producing estrogen. There are hormone receptors throughout the body and there are lifelong consequences of being without estrogen even if perimenopausal symptoms are in the rear-view mirror.
In this episode: Why not every woman has long-term health issues post menopauseThe long-term impact of menopause (not aging) onBone healthJoints and musclesFrailtyCardiovascular SystemDiabetesBrain FunctionVulva and VaginaSexual FunctionUrinary TractHow to increase your longevity without hormonesNine Secrets of the Blue Zones where women live to 100 (without taking estrogen) If you can take hormone therapy for life

When I first learned about PCOS during my training, I was told that once a woman with PCOS hit menopause, irregular periods, excess hair growth dealing with fertility problems and other manifestations of PCOS were in the rear-view mirror. And that’s true, but we now know that women who had PCOS during the reproductive years, are not entirely off the hook down the road and that PCOS early in life is associated with several health issues later in life. Today I am having a conversation with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Alison Rogers, about the impact of PCOS later in life.

While not everyone is necessarily good about regular physical activity, no one questions that it’s good for you. Cardiovascular health, weight management, cognitive function, mood, better sleep and even reducing the risk of many kinds of cancer are all established benefits to moving as opposed to sitting on your butt all day. But, when it comes to the impact of exercise when it comes to reducing hot flashes, the jury is still out.
Dr. Maria Sophocles is the Medical Director of Women’s Healthcare of Princeton. She is a certified menopause practitioner and has a particular interest in non-hormonal approaches to help with menopause symptoms. In this episode, we discussed a study that was recently published in the Journal Menopause titled “The influence of habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior on objective and subjective hot flashes at midlife”

When one thinks of a medical specialty that is knowledgeable about menopause, usually an Ob Gyn, Family Practice doctor, Internist or maybe a urologist comes to mind. In this episode , I am talking to Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon who has made it her mission to raise awareness about the musculoskeletal changes that occur as a result of menopause, and how a lack of estrogen sabotages the ability to be active. And that lack of activity not only impacts bone health and cardiovascular health but also cognitive function. Today, we are talking about solutions to protect your bones, your blood vessels, and your brain.

Every available type of hormone therapy will effectively eliminate hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. However, all hormone therapy is not the same. Individual formulations impact bone health, breast health, and cardiovascular health differently. In episode 123, Dr. James Simon and I discussed starting hormone therapy after the age of 60. In this episode, we discuss the nuances between different hormones and their impact on breast cancer and bone health.
Why it is important to individualize hormone therapyWhy there is the perception that estrogen causes breast cancerThere is a difference between causing breast cancer and making breast cancer growThe differences between conjugated equine estrogen (Provera) and a plant-derived bioidentical beta-estradiol in terms of breast cancer impactThe differences between the different estrogens and progestogens as far as bone healthTransdermal vs oral estrogen
