Examine the vulva in menopause consultations Biopsy is important for diagnosis Differentiating vulval conditions Treatment with potent topical steroids Referral considerations The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. Do you always examine the vulva in the menopause consult, or would you wait and see if the patient doesn’t have the expected response to vaginal oestrogen? How do we differentiate between lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, or lichen simplex chronicus? Do you think the itch of lichen sclerosus responds to vaginal oestrogen? Could you give this to a woman, and she’s going to get better, and you’ll never know that she had lichen sclerosus? What treatments do you use, and for how long? Can you take a punch biopsy from one site - the site that you think is perhaps the easiest to biopsy or looks the most affected? Is a 3 mm punch biopsy big enough? Do you have to pop a suture in? How do you manage the care of that biopsy after you’ve done it? Is referring to a dermatologist or gynaecologist better for biopsy? Which steroids do you use, for how long, and what results do you expect? How does a woman present with lichen planus?

In this episode, I'm talking about something I see all the time in my practice but that too many women still suffer through in silence: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). This condition shows up in women as estrogen levels decline, most commonly during and after menopause.If you've been dealing with vaginal dryness, itching, pain with intercourse, or repeated urinary tract infections, you're not alone, and it may be GSM.I walk you through the updated guidelines from the American Urologic Association (AUA) and the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) for diagnosing and treating GSM. We talk about what symptoms to look for and the full range of treatment options, including hormonal and non-hormonal therapies, so you can make informed decisions that work for you.In this episode, I also cover:Why follow-up care is just as important as starting treatmentHow shared decision-making with your provider changes outcomesWhat research still needs to catch up when it comes to cost and accessIf you've ever wondered if your symptoms are "just aging" or felt unsure about what's normal after menopause, this episode is for you. My goal is to empower you with information and make sure you know you're not alone.For more information on this study: https://www.auanet.org/guidelines-and-quality/guidelines/genitourinary-syndrome-of-menopauseTimeline:00:30 Introduction to Genital Urinary Syndrome of Menopause 01:25 Understanding the Symptoms and Diagnosis 03:15 Guidelines for Treatment 06:09 Hormonal Treatments and Recommendations 07:43 Non-Hormonal Treatments and Considerations 08:49 Energy-Based Treatments and Their Efficacy 10:36 Cancer Concerns and Hormonal Treatments 13:14 Follow-Up and Long-Term Management 14:04 Conclusion and Future Research

Vaginal oestrogen is safe at any age, including over 70, with regular review Use vaginal oestrogen cautiously in younger women; rule out other causes such like vulval dermatitis In breast cancer survivors, vaginal oestrogen is off-label; prefer estriol and involve oncology Vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) is effective with minimal absorption; lacks long-term safety data; no washout needed when switching The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. What are the main symptoms for women with vaginal atrophy, and what is the general approach when a woman comes to talk about these symptoms? How long can women use vaginal oestrogen for? If you saw a woman over the age of 70, would you feel comfortable allowing her to continue using vaginal oestrogen? Is it safe to use vaginal oestrogen in a younger woman who might be breastfeeding or taking the combined oral contraceptive pill and experiencing vaginal dryness or discomfort? Do you need to take the same precautions for side effects as you would with systemic hormone therapy? For example, if there was a woman who was prone to venous thromboembolism (VTE), is it safe for her to use vaginal oestrogen? Is there any role for vaginal oestrogen in reducing the frequency of recurrent genital herpes outbreaks? Are there situations where you would use vaginal oestrogen in combination with a non-hormonal product for better results? Thoughts on laser treatments, microneedling, or PRP for vaginal or vulval symptoms? In women who present with urethral caruncles, is there a role for vaginal oestrogen as part of the treatment? How long would you try using vaginal oestrogen for that? What about the doses of oestrogen when treating someone who's had breast cancer? What do we have to be mindful of? What about women with a history of endometrial, cervical, or vulval cancer? Can we use vaginal oestrogen if they've got symptoms? Can DHEA (Intrarosa) be used safely in women with a history of cancer? For women without breast cancer, when would you use DHEA instead of oestrogen? Would you ever use both oestrogen and DHEA together? What about using DHEA in conjunction with systemic menopausal hormone therapy? Are there any thoughts around the improvements in libido with the use of DHEA? If you had tried someone on Ovestin (estriol) and wanted to switch to Intrarosa, is a washout period required before starting?

Developed by the Medical Student Membership Workgroup, the Urology Spotlight Series educates medical students about a particular subspecialty within urology, including common cases and procedures. In this episode, medical student, Jake Ratanawong, is joined by Dr. Sean Elliott, Professor and Director of Reconstructive Urology at the University of Minnesota, for a discussion on the field of Genitourinary Reconstruction.
In 2014, the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health together with the North American Menopause Society introduced the term “Genitourinary syndrome of menopause” to replace the prior term vulvovaginal atrophy. Ten years after that, in 2024, a related term “Genitourinary Syndrome of LACTATION, was introduced to better capture the genitourinary issues lactating women may experience. A new systematic review, soon to be released in the journal obstetrics and gynecology, provides new data on GSL prevalence and characteristics. This is a good reminder for any clinician who evaluates postpartum/lactating women to ask about GSL. How does sexual dysfunction fit into this question? Listen in to the next episode of Dr. Chapa's Clinical Pearls Podcast for more details.

In this episode, I discuss with medical student, Sara Perelmuter: What is genitourinary syndrome of lactation (GSL)?Reasons why the postpartum vulvovaginal tissues resemble those of a menopausal womanSigns and symptoms of GSLPostpartum hormone changes How to talk to your provider about this What we need to know as providersDoes using topical estrogen harm the baby?Dose, frequency and length of time one may expect to use estrogenSara Perelmuter is a medical student at Weill Cornell in New York city and is already innovating the field of sexual medicine. She has over 7 scientifically peer reviewed publications and is currently the president of the Sexual Medicine Research Team. She is a passionate advocate for women's reproductive and sexual health and is on track to become an OB/GYN. Her prior research experience exposed her to the profound gap in research on women's sexual health and her clinical work exposed her to the prevalence of medical gaslighting and the dismissal of women's pain. Paired with her feminist values, this has motivated her to pursue a career dedicated to improving women's sexual health. Sara believes education, accessibility, and awareness are vital to break the barriers and help empower women to take control over their own bodies.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I sit down with Sara Perelmuter, a medical student and future OBGYN, who is already leading innovations in the field of sexual medicine. As president of the Sexual Medicine Research Team and with over seven peer-reviewed publications, Sara's latest work, "Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation: A New Perspective on Postpartum and Lactation-Related Genitourinary Symptoms," introduces a new term encompassing genitourinary symptoms related to low estrogen during the postpartum and lactation periods.Sara's passion for women's health is deeply personal—her own struggle with pelvic pain during intercourse led to her diagnosis of hypertonic overactive pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. The medical gaslighting and dismissal she experienced, along with her feminist values and love for physiology, motivated her to pursue a career dedicated to improving women's sexual health. In this episode, Sara discusses the importance of education, accessibility, and awareness in empowering women to take control of their own bodies.We cover topics including:
OBGYN Briefs - Managing Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause Frequent UTIs and vaginal atrophy/dryness are common signs of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). In this Brief, Dr. Rachel Rubin discusses the management of GSM and why estrogen is so vital to these tissues. They address the lack of information and awareness about GSM among urologists and gynecologists while emphasizing its impact on the urinary and genital symptoms experienced by menopausal women.

“It was nothing to worry about,” Andrew was repeatedly told, when he visitedurgent care twice for pain in his pelvis area. But the discomfort wouldn't go away, so he met with his primary care physician who referred him to a urologist for an ultrasound. The scans led to a testicular cancer diagnosis in early 2023. It was caught early enough, and he was told there was a good prognosis. The cancer had only spread very lightly to his lymph nodes. Adam works as the director of data analytics for a pharmaceutical company. Heloves vacationing with his family, watching his children play their sports (soccer for his son Jacob and gymnastics for his daughter Julia) and caring for his 2004 BMW. He hopes to help normalize conversations around testicular cancer for other men so they can overcome stigmas and shame around it. Today, he and his wife Kara arecelebrating their wedding anniversary. Dr. Atish Choudhury is a medical oncologist and clinical/translational investigatorwithin the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and currently serves as Chair of the Gelb Center for Translational Research. He also serves as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His research interests include investigation of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers from circulating free DNA from patients with metastatic cancer, biomarker studies from other banked human specimens from patients participating in clinical trials, and clinical investigation in novel therapeutics for genitourinary malignancies. According to the American Cancer Society, testicular cancer is not common. About 1 of every 250 males will develop testicular cancer at some point during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society's estimate for testicular cancer in the United States for 2024 is about 9,760 new cases of testicular cancer diagnosed. The average age of males when first diagnosed with testicular cancer is about 33. This is largely a disease of young and middle-aged men, but about 6% of cases occur in children and teens, and about 8% occur in men older than 55.
