Sharing a few moments from my weekend-
1) Exercise- beautiful hikes!
2) Nutrition- Nothing beats cooking with fresh ingredients and eating outside
3) Sleep- watching the stars/the quiet of mother nature/cool breeze. 4)Stress reduction/human (and dog) connection

I talk about the importance of the 4 pillars of health. They are non-negotiable. Grateful for a weekend camping with where I reconnected with Mother Nature.

Vulvar and va**nal skincare should be different than the rest of your body-

Antibacterial or perfumed soaps are ok for our squamous skin- under your arms, legs, etc., but they are not good for the v***a and va**na!

Soap is “desiccating” or drying. It pulls away moisture. It kills all bacteria including the good stuff.

The v***a, especially the l***a minora and vestibule (opening of the va**na) are made of mucous membrane which is very different than our external skin. Think more of the tissue around our eyes or mouth.

In addition the v***ar mucus tissue relies on estrogen to retain moisture and elasticity. As our homine levels decline our tissue becomes thinner, dryer, & less elastic.

Using soap on the v***ar tissue can worsen irritation and dryness. I have many patients who come in with complaints and when asking about what product they use- they describe using “Dial” or “Irish Spring”. That’s when I cringe!

Water alone is actually adequate for cleaning the va**nal and v***ar tissue. However many women prefer to use a product to feel more refreshed. In that case I recommend a pH balanced, gentle, chemical free product.

I personally recommend “Ina.” It is ultra gentle and it feels refreshing while moisturizing and maintaining pH balance. Other helpful products include a hyaluronic acid serum, a nourishing oil elixir, a barrier balm, and an anti-shave liquid powder. These products are available for purchase in my office or online .

Remember- it is important to practice good skincare down there!

Some Things I learned at ISSWSH2026:

How to perform an exam- yes! After 31 years as an obgyn I learned new things-

Sexual health is an important part of overall health, yet in women especially it is often not addressed and problems are under treated

Appropriate evaluation and understanding s*xual health employs a Bio/psycho/social model

Hormones & Neurotransmitters play an essential role in desire & arousal: oxytocin, dopamine, norepinephrine. Treatments address these pathways and include estrogen, testosterone, Addyi, Vyleesi, Vella, Silandifil

Cl****al ultrasound is a technique to examine blood flow- and may be a predictor of heart disease

Research in Women’s Health is poorly funded

Sexual education is lacking

Sexual assault and trauma is prevalent: 1/4 women

Understanding the complexity of the pelvic floor and role of physical therapy

Women’s pleasure matters

Dilators, vi*****rs, light therapy, lasers, lubricants, moisturizers, and feminine pH balanced hygiene products are tools that may enhance outcomes

Biology is biology/blood flow is blood flow/brain chemistry is brain chemistry

Pain can stem from 1 of 5 areas and deserves a systematic approach to diagnose and treat

Knowledge is power

Of course, there is so much more. ISSWSH brings together scientists , educators, students, researchers, & clinicians from multiple specialties-and they are sharing their experiences from all over the world. It is a time of inspiration, collegiality, and mutual respect.

I hope these resources help you prioritize your s*xual health. I look forward to 3/10 when we hear from the amazing & witty Dr. Sophocles- “Bridging the Bedroom Gap.” I hope to see you there!

This annual conference provides so much education, information, and advocacy.

In addition there’s an expo with products, innovations, solutions, and information.

She will be in Newport Beach on March 10 headlining an event sponsored by at the New Port theater from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. You will not want to miss this engaging opportunity.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death among women in the United States.

Today is national wear red day to bring awareness during American heart month, especially for women.

Death from heart disease exceeds death from cancer of all causes. But many women are aware of this fact.

Women often present with different symptoms than men. It is why heart disease is often dismissed or missed.

Typical symptoms for women include

Fatigue
Nausea & vomiting
Dizziness and Lightheadedness
Back pain
Anxiety or a sense of doom
Cold sweats
Pressure and tightness in the chest

It is important for women to know their risk factors:

Family History
Smoking
Diabetes
High Cholesterol
High Blood Pressure
Lipo a

Estrogen appears to have a protective effect. Women have less incidence of heart disease prior to menopause. After menopause and the decline of estrogen women’s incidence of heart disease will exceed men’s. Initiating estrogen therapy early on in perimenopause/menopause can provide a protective effect.

A coronary calcium score is a CT scan that looks at all five vessels of the heart. It can determine whether there is plaque buildup that is potentially clogging the arteries. If there’s no existing heart disease life style interventions continue to be the main form of prevention. If there is plaque clogging the arteries, further interventions including cholesterol reducing medication’s may be life-saving.

That is why today I wore red. I want you to know this information. Knowledge is power. Share this post with someone you love.

Female pattern hair loss will affect up to 50% of women.

This can cause major distress as hair is a large part of our appearance.

Generally there are 4 main components of evaluation and treatment:

- [ ] Physical exam and blood panel to assess thyroid deficiencies, autoimmune diseases and nutritional deficiencies (such as a low ferritin level)
- [ ] Attention creating a clean scalp. Washing with a dandruff shampoo 1-2x/week can make a difference
- [ ] Addressing the growth phase, resting phase and shedding phases:

Hormone therapy
Growth stimulation (Minoxidil)
Blocking the androgen effect on hair follicle minaturization (spiranolactone/finasteride)

- [ ] Incorporation of habits to protect your hair: less coloring, avoid tension (tight ponytail), allow to air dry/avoid brushing excessively when wet.
All treatments take time and may need to be continued lifelong. Early intervention makes a difference!
