What's Up Down There? Genital Dryness and Misbehaving Bladders Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast

    • Medicine

Men have always had the clear advantage of being able to inspect their g******s with very little effort on their part. Women’s genitals are not quite as accessible, resulting in a lot more uncertainty about what’s normal and what’s not. No wonder women are frequently blindsided by not only the physical changes that occur with the onset of menopause but also symptoms like dryness, painful sex, itching, recurrent urinary tract infections, and that constant “gotta go” feeling! 




In this episode Dr. Streicher covers: 






GENITOURINARY SYNDROME OF MENOPAUSE- What it is and what it means
The PHYSICAL CHANGES that result from a lack of estrogen
The genital and urinary SYMPTOMS that women experience because of LACK of ESTROGEN
