The Medical Mishaps of Menopause continue…

Just in today🤯

Then sir, what do YOU decide is appropriate treatment for all of the other symptoms of GSM including:

Irritation
Urgency
Dysuria
Itching
Pain
Frequent infections

…and more.

This is NOT ok and is creeping on malpractice for me.

Ignorance is no excuse when it comes to the law, so why is it when it comes to women’s healthcare?

😡😡😡

Is this really an education problem? Or just a big ok and complacency with women being in pain and discomfort?

When you’re my friend and you ask about your HRT😂

05/01/2024

My 49 year old friend texted me regarding her recent frequent UTIs and I advised she should try using a vaginal estrogen after 3 UTIs in 4 months.

She asked her P*P and this was the response🤯

We have a LONG way to go. This is primary care for women.

BLATANT MISINFORMATION from her P*P🤬

I sent her the NAMS Position Statement, podcast, and several articles. Let’s see what happens🤪

This is what women are dealing with everywhere for all of their symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. And it is NOT ok.

And if you’re over 35, perimenopause is a realistic cause of your symptoms💯

It’s ok to try different things to manage your symptoms. And your symptoms will change over time, get worse, improve, and eventually may even go away or evolve.

And lifestyle modification can make a world of difference to decrease inflammation in your body that can make your symptoms worse or lead to other problems.

But there is NO…and I do mean no, replacement for low hormones than actual hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopause hormone therapy (MHT).

Various treatment options can help with symptoms.

Hormones treat the root cause👩🏻‍⚕️

Marketing can sometimes fool you by telling you what you want to hear.

It’s amazing what people will do for attention on this app🤯

And IRL.

One minute you’re selling chai, and now you’re a menopause expert👀

Last year you were a practicing neurologist, and now you’re a menopause expert🤯

I could keep going. Be careful out there; audacity is at an all time high of how low people will go to get attention.

It’s not to say that one cannot learn new things but chasing trends is not it.

We can accept the changes, but it doesn’t mean we have to like it.

22/11/2023

Be careful out there. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

There is nothing wrong with birth control pills and anti-depressants.

Unless they are used as first line therapy in a condition that is neither pregnancy prevention or clinical depression👩🏻‍⚕️

Perimenopause can cause significant mental health symptoms. Women can also become pregnant even when cycles have become irregular.

Every woman’s experience is different. Their treatment plans should be as well💯

I wish I was making this up😡

So what can actually be done for the 134 symptoms of perimenopause?

✨Assess for underlying causes of inflammation and address them
✨Optimize thyroid function
✨Hormone therapies including testosterone
✨Focus on metabolic function and blood sugar balance
✨Dial in their supplement regimen
✨Discuss chronic disease prevention in a way they understand it
✨Focus on longevity AND vitality
✨Counsel them on endocrine disrupting chemicals in their environment
✨EMPOWER them in their health and wellness with knowledge and confidence

We deserve better.
