Episode OverviewIn this episode of Fempower Health, we break down one of the most common—and misunderstood—conditions women face after menopause: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).Often referred to by symptoms like vaginal dryness, painful sex, burning with urination, or frequent UTIs, GSM affects nearly half of postmenopausal women. Yet many women are never told it has a name—let alone that it's treatable.We're unpacking what the new 2025 GSM guidelines reveal, and why they mark a turning point in how clinicians should diagnose and treat this condition.What You'll LearnWhat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) really meansHow GSM symptoms impact vaginal, sexual, and urinary healthWhy vaginal estrogen is a frontline treatment, even with systemic HRTCommon myths about lubricants, moisturizers, and “just aging”The difference between managing GSM vs. masking itWhy GSM often goes unaddressed in clinical settings—and what needs to changeWhat the 2025 guidelines clarify for patients and providers alikeHow untreated GSM can impact confidence, relationships, and even career performanceWhy This MattersToo often, women's health is narrowly defined as periods, pregnancy, and menopause hot flashes. But vaginal and urinary health after menopause deserves equal attention.Whether you're a patient, provider, or policymaker, understanding GSM is essential to changing the conversation around what midlife care really looks like.Related ResourcesRead Burning, Dryness, Pain?

 With Menopause Awareness Day around the corner, todays episode was the perfect opportunity to bring some essential attention to the often-overlooked topic of pelvic floor decline in menopause.Our pelvic organs and vaginal tissues contain a high Oestrogen receptor sites, and as we move into peri-menopause and menopause, the decline in Oestrogen can significantly impact these areas. This means that pelvic floor dysfunction becomes more common during this time and beyond.The statistics are alarming and they reflect the need for us to be better looking after our pelvic floors sooner rather than later. In this episode I share five key strategies to help prevent pelvic floor decline and maintain strength as we age, starting with getting to know all your pelvic floor muscles with my FREE Quick Guide fitfannyadams.com/quickguide Be sure to let me know if you found todays episode helpful... and please take a moment to rate and review this podcast, to help ensure it lands in the ears of those that need to hear it. Thank you for listening, and do connect with me @FitFannyAdamsor sarahjane@FItFannyAdams.com

In this episode, the focus is on menopause and peri-menopause and offers an empowering discussion on why pelvic floor health undergoes dramatic changes during this massive life phase.Professionally and personally I have witnessing a tidal wave of women grappling with severe hormonal symptoms, disrupting well-being, sexual health, and our intimate relationships. I struggle to understand why as a society we are not better preparing for and supporting our women through this exciting but often turbulent transition.  In this episode we discuss the hormonal shift women experience during menopause and peri-menopause, specifically the reduction in Oestrogen production. Combined with the deeper mental and emotional transition beyond the fertile period of life this time is delicate,  intricate and mentally and physically stressful. I explore how we mask the monumental transition of menopause to 'being a hormone thing' rather than other significant life transitions, such as puberty or early motherhood. We need to better understand the internal stress our bodies and minds go through.Our pelvic floor health is deeply affected by these changes. Increased stress and hormonal fluctuations often lead to increased pelvic floor muscle tone, pelvic congestion, pain, increased urine frequency and UTI's etc. This can, will and does disrupt the breathing cycle, core strength, and overall body well-being.Let's learn to listen to your pelvic floor and your body overall. Let's learn to adopt a holistic approach to managing and navigating symptoms. While medical interventions like HRT or topical Oestrogen can offer immediate relief, understanding and restoring hormonal balance internally is crucial. And here is that link to register for Novembers project where I want to help you better connect with your body to odies through breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and connecting with your pelvic floor:www.FitFannyAdams.com/NOVEMBER or drop me a message at @fitfannyadams.Connect, I'd love to hear from you! x Sj

In this episode, Katie Crane dives into the topic of pelvic floor health for women in menopause and post-menopause. She highlights the importance of recognizing the unique physical changes women experience as they age and how these changes impact pelvic floor health. Katie explains the role of hormonal shifts, particularly the decline in estrogen, which can cause pelvic floor atrophy and symptoms like vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and urinary issues. She stresses the value of Pilates professionals categorizing women based on age and hormonal stages to offer appropriate support. Additionally, Katie touches on the significance of nutrition, specifically the role of protein, in preserving muscle strength during menopause. Key Takeaways Recognizing bodily changes: It's vital for Pilates professionals to understand the specific physical changes that women face during menopause and post-menopause, particularly how these affect pelvic floor health. Hormonal impact: A decrease in estrogen can result in pelvic floor atrophy, which may lead to symptoms such as vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and urinary complications. Age and hormonal categorization: Categorizing clients based on their age and hormonal state allows Pilates professionals to tailor their support to improve pelvic floor health. Nutrition's role: Protein intake becomes increasingly important during menopause, as it helps maintain muscle strength. Women may need to boost their protein consumption to meet these needs. Pilates exercises for pelvic health: Exercises focusing on breath work, dynamic core engagement, and working against gravity can effectively strengthen the pelvic floor and improve overall pelvic health.

Welcome to my latest Best Bit, part of my series to celebrate half a million downloads for The Happy Menopause podcast, and the chance for you to catch up on some of the brilliant episodes you may have missed. This edition focuses on vaginal dryness, which is rather the Cinderella of the menopause. In recent years, we've become more confident about discussing our menopause – some women will mention their hot flushes without turning a hair, and the common mental health symptoms  such as anxiety and mood swings have also started to come out of the closet, which is a great thing, but we're still not quite ready to be open about the vaginal symptoms. So for this extract, I zoom back to Season 2 Episode 15 where we shine a light on this tricky issue, because it can be a huge problem for many women through the menopause and beyond. To help us, I've turned to one of the most clinically experienced menopause specialists in the UK. Kathy Abernethy, who's been a leading light in the field of women's health and the menopause for over 30 years. From her early years as a sister on a gynae ward, through her time as Chair of the British Menopause Society and now as the leader of a multidisciplinary NHS menopause clinic and director of menopause services at Peppy health, a digital health company, Kathy has consistently championed women's health and transformed the lives of hundreds of women with her clinical advice and support. There really is no better person to give us the lowdown on how to manage vaginal dryness, so tune in to hear her expert advice on moisturisers, lubricants, vaginal oestrogen and how to manage UTIs. To hear the full episode, check out Season 2 Episode 15, where there's even more practical advice for you. If you're a fan of The Happy Menopause, please tell your friends and family, and do give it a 5-star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on. It makes a huge difference to the algorithms which influence the visibility of the podcast, so that more women can find the show. Because every woman deserves to have a happy menopause. Check out the full Show Notes for this episode on my website www.well-well-well.co.uk/podcast, where you'll find all the relevant links and references for my guest.

Vaginal dryness is a common issue affecting many women, especially during and after menopause. While it may be a sensitive topic to discuss, it's important to address this discomfort with healthcare providers. The lack of estrogen, a hormone responsible for keeping the vagina lubricated, is the main cause of vaginal dryness in menopause. We explore different products available for treating vaginal atrophy, such as vaginal estrogen cream, estrogen rings, and tablets. Each product has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of convenience, cost, and coverage. It's crucial for women to be knowledgeable about these options when discussing their symptoms with their provider. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of finding the right solution for each individual, as not all products may work equally well for everyone. Whether through topical treatments or more systemic approaches, there are various ways to address vaginal dryness effectively and enhance overall comfort and quality of life.

Despite being incredibly healthy and believing she was living the life we were promised (since we were told as little girls that we could have it all), receiving a breast cancer diagnosis was the last thing Tessa Guevara expected. She's here with me today to talk about her story of surviving, thriving, and truly living her best life after a breast cancer diagnosis. Ready to feel inspired? Let's dive in!This episode covers:How we, as women, can fall out of balance in our health Sympathetic (fight or flight) vs. Parasympathetic (rest and repair) nervous systems and the downside to “sweating the small stuff”Tessa's hormone replacement journeyThe type of estrogen you need to be taking if you have a history of breast cancerSide effects from cancer meds that your doctor isn't telling you about The transition from Patient to SurvivorOne piece of advice I was told in residency that I still follow today And more!More about Tessa:For the past 20+ years, Tessa Guevara has been a health care clinician working as a Registered Nurse for 8 years and then a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist for 15 years, respectively. Tessa has always felt that bad food and disease have a relationship and in May of 2017, she discovered more proof and a platform that really helped her dig into it. She took the plunge and became a certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® coach. This move not only opened the door to help other women eat MORE and workout LESS, but it also gave her exposure to nutrition in a way that she had never experienced before. And it was a game changer.That program was just the tip of the iceberg. Tessa became obsessed with learning and changing her own views on nutrition to the point of pursuing a functional nutrition certification. She felt like this was the right time to get this right in her own life. She is now a functional nutritionist. As a certified nutritional therapy practitioner, she has the tools to provide the proper testing and personalized protocol needed to discover the root causes of health concerns and heal them!Connect with Tessa:Tessa's Website: https://www.tessaguevara.com/my-storyTessa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tessa_guevara/To talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/time-to-talkTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Person's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://realhealthmd.kartra.com/page/SmartPersonsGuidetoBreastCancerJoin the Facebook group: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingabreastwdrjennConnect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

Are you experiencing symptoms like burning and itching around your vulva and vagina, or painful sex? Or perhaps you have the urge to wee more often or are plagued by recurrent urinary tract infections? Joining Dr Louise this week is trailblazing US urologist and sexual health doctor Dr Rachel Rubin, to address these common menopause symptoms and the relief vaginal hormones – often used alongside systemic HRT – can bring. Dr Rachel explains why we need to stop using terms like vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy, which hugely downplay the impact of declining hormones on your whole genitourinary system. ‘When we say women have vaginal dryness, we minimise their symptoms, we minimise that it's no big deal, that you can just use a little lubricant, a little moisturiser,' says Dr Rachel. Plus, Dr Rachel and Dr Louise also discuss DHEA – a hormone treatment which converts to estrogen and testosterone in the vagina – and the benefits this can bring to women struggling with genitourinary syndrome of the menopause (GSM), again often alongside systemic HRT. Dr Rachel's three tips if you are struggling with GSM: Know that if you have any symptoms that affect your vagina, vulva or urinary system and you're over the age of 45, you deserve a vaginal hormone product. Talk to your healthcare professional about access to this treatment that can prevent urinary tract infections, decrease your frequency and urgency of needing to urinate, decrease your pain in intercourse and lead to better lubrication, arousal and orgasm. Keep using your localised hormone replacement: it is a safe product, so can be used long term to sustain the benefits.  Click here to visit Dr Rachel's website, and follow her on Instagram @drrachelrubin.

There's no stone left unturned in this episode on doing it post-40. From vaginal dryness to the right lube to use, sexpert Anna Richardson says it as it is and clears up any myths around women losing their sex drive. One hint: it's not you and your vagina, it's them and perhaps not fancying their penis. If attraction is still there: “just do it.”
