Or the lives of the women that we love be different? How might our life be different? I'm so happy that I chose to spend time listening to this.
UTIs are a massive problem for our healthcare system, but we are not effectively using these vaginal hormone products. So that's where we love IUDs and things like that because they don't alter your body's formation of these hormones. I have to do remote work from home because I am so afraid of being in a place with urinary pain and planning my whole life around it.
That box labeling, your doctor, your family doctor, your gynecologist, your urologist, they would give you this medication. In fact, there were false incorrect warning labels that said, these products cause stroke, blood clots, heart attacks, probable dementia, and you need to use with progesterone. No one ever talked about it publicly because the two dirtiest words in the English language are vagina and estrogen. No one ever taught your doctors this. Most of those problems, not every problem, but majority of those problems are due to hormone fluctuations that are changing the microbiome of the vagina and the bladder. You and your family members are at risk of dying or being in the hospital or missing your children's events because you're going to urgent care for antibiotics for the 10th time. The biggest PSA, a public service announcement that we need is to get this in the ears of every human on earth because women are dying.
There is a part of your body. There is no doctor trained in the clitoris. What kind of doctor do you go see? No doctor is taught how to examine the clitoris or ever routinely examines the clitoris. This was just an observation of, okay, 23% of people have this.
And while you are breastfeeding, you are in menopause often that whole time. An estrogen of 3,000 for about nine months. When you are pregnant, your estrogen is 3,000. So you are regularly having these irregular sort of shifts of estrogen in the first half, estrogen and progesterone in the second half. You pop out an egg, the shell makes progesterone, and the second half of your cycle, you've got progesterone in your body.
What are the things that a lot of doctors say to women in particular that aren't true or that are wrong in this category of sexual health? Mel sits down with Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD, a leading urologist and sexual health expert, to explain what hormones have to do with pelvic health, libido, and menopause. It’s important to have an open conversation with a healthcare provider about your symptoms and how they affect your quality of life.
