    How to Find a Clinician Who is Not Clueless

    An “MD” after the name is no assurance that the person to whom you are about to bare your soul—and your vagina—is an expert when it comes to menopause.  In this episode, I am going to walk you through the steps to find someone you can trust to fix your flashes, foggy brain, and failing sex life. Head over to Substack.com/@DrStreicher for a transcript of the episode, and bonus!  I posted an article with specific questions to ask during a menopause consultation (and answers you might get) that will let you know if you can trust this person to help you manage your menopause.  If Your Doctor Doesn’t Have a Vagina Specialists that may be menopause expertise Advanced practice nurses and physician assistants Why most doctors know very little about menopause What letters mean after a doctor’s name The difference between a license and board certification What it takes to maintain board certification What it means to be “double boarded”  Why Anti-Aging is not a recognized board certification What academic titles such as “Professor” indicate How I became a menopause expert What it means to be a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner Checking out publications Physician Referral services The problem with consumer referral sites Red flags to look for on doctor websites If you should educate your own doctor If concierge doctors are worth it Telehealth- and what to look for Go to substack.com/@drstreicher  for my list of specific questions to ask   (and potential answers you might get ) that are pretty good indications that the person you are seeing is an actual expert.  Links To verify that a physician is licensed Federation of State Medical Boards website  fsmb.org To verify that a physician is board certified ABMS.org is the site where you can check out whether a physician is board-certified and find out what he or she is certified in.  To find a certified menopause practitioner www.menopause.org.

    Hormone Therapy to Help the Heart?

    If you would like to read a transcript of this episode along with some additional information, head on over to my substack- substack.com/@DrStreicher Chances are you have heard at least one expert say that systemic hormone therapy will prevent heart disease. But you also may have heard other experts say, No- if you don’t have hot flashes or low bone mass, it is not recommended to take hormone therapy to prevent heart disease down the road. So, who is right? Why is this controversial?  Isn’t the data, the data?  In this episode, I explain why experts are not all on the same page when it comes to the long-term cardiovascular benefits of hormone therapy.  ·      The Difference between a Randomized Controlled Trial and an Observational Trial ·      Why the WHI was an excellent study- and why it was problematic ·      What we learned From the WHI about Hormones and Cardiovascular Health ·      The Study of Women Across the Nation (SWAN)  ·      What we learned From the SWAN about Hormones and Cardiovascular Health ·      What we learned From the SWAN about Hormone therapy and Cardiovascular Risk ·      What we learned From the SWAN about Hormone therapy and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease ·      If hormone therapy should be prescribed for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease-  the view of the two opposing sides  Lauren Streicher, MD is a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, and the founding medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause and a Senior Research Fellow of The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University.

    Genital Dryness and Misbehaving Bladders

    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!  Why the term VAGINAL ATROPHY is problematic 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 Options to Treat GSM Lubricants  Long-Lasting Moisturizers  Local Vaginal Estrogen  DHEA  Ospemifen                                         Dr. Streicher is now on Substack!                 A transcript of this episode with related videos, podcasts, and graphics can                                     be found on  Dr. Streicher’s FREE Substack                                    https://substack.com/@DrStreicher                                                    Replens™ Brand                  Thank you to Replens™ Brand for Sponsoring This Episode                                          Follow Replens on Instagram                              For more information on Replens Products Related Episodes: Episode 4: Is Your Lubricant Helping or Hurting Your Vagina?

    Invisible Woman Syndrome

    Studies reveal that 70% of women experience a sense of being overlooked socially and professionally once they hit 50. The term for this phenomenon is Invisible Woman Syndrome. In this episode, I am joined by Christine Morrison, who writes about the social constructs in the fashion, beauty and wellness industry that inform the way society views women, and the way women often feel about themselves as they get older. Christine Morrison’s writing has appeared in print and online vehicles such as The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Quality Edit and Margot Magazine, among others, and in advertising campaigns for Alastin Skincare, French Connection, Juicy Couture and more. Prior to focusing on writing full-time, Morrison held leadership positions in the fashion and beauty industries, including serving as Global Vice President of Beauty and Apparel Marketing for Calvin Klein.  Her forthcoming book, “Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself,” – in which she reflects on the meaning behind, and the humor in, the relationship between her sartorial self and formation of identity – is slated to publish Spring, 2026.

  8. Moisturizers are Not Just for Your Face

    10月31日

    Moisturizers are Not Just for Your Face

    Most women are very familiar with the concept of a moisturizer since they have been conditioned to constantly apply one to their face and neck to avoid dire consequences like wrinkles and fine lines While the tissue that lines the vagina is not the same as the skin on the rest of your body, when estrogen declines, both the skin on your face and the “skin” that lines the vagina, become dry and thin. Over-the-counter long-lasting vaginal moisturizers are intended to be used regularly in anticipation of sexual activity. Moisturizers hydrate and thicken vaginal tissue to restore natural lubrication.
