Welcome to Episode 61! In this episode, I explore the often-taboo subject of vaginal health and its profound impact on women's overall well-being. Join me, Lizzie Alexander, the host of the Endo Fertility podcast, as I talk about the importance of maintaining a healthy vagina, the role of hormones like estrogen, and how conditions such as endometriosis and infections can affect vaginal health. We provide insights and actionable tips to help you take charge of your reproductive health. EPISODES HIGHLIGHT: The significance of a healthy vaginal microbiome and its role in preventing infections. Common types of vaginal infections, including yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and how they can impact fertility. Symptoms indicating potential issues with vaginal health, such as itching, burning sensations, and unusual discharge. The relationship between hormonal changes, pregnancy, and vaginal health. RESOURCES MENTIONED: pH Testing Kits: Available at pharmacies or online, these kits help monitor your vaginal pH levels throughout your menstrual cycle. Be sure to buy a pH range of 3.5 up to 6.5+. One example from amazon here. Probiotics: Specific strains like Lactobacillus crispatus can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome - I love to use Invivo Healthcare's FemmeV (oral and vaginal use) - buy from Amrita Nutrition here* to get 10% off (use my practitioner code: B6SV6H). N-Acetylcysteine (NAC): A supplement that can help break down biofilms created by bacteria, making it easier to treat recurrent infections. It is also great for supporting endometriosis by reducing lesions and cysts (Bahat et al., 2022), improving fertility outcomes (Anastasi et al., 2023) and supporting detoxification. I love Pure Encapsulations* and Now* (with Selenium). Vaginal Microbiome testing: there are a number of examples that I use in my clinic, e.g. Invivo Healthcare Vaginal EcologiX (International but not US), Evvy (US), Juno Bio - if you want to know more or help with testing just contact me (details below). ACTIONABLE TIPS: A number of actionable tips were discussed including: Regular pH testing to monitor vaginal health. The importance of understanding your microbiome.

Vulvar cancer screening refers to checking for signs of vulvar cancer in individuals who may not have symptoms. Vulvar cancer is rare, and there isn't a standard screening test specifically for it like there is for cervical cancer with Pap smears. However, early detection often relies on regular pelvic exams and self-examinations to look for any abnormalities or changes in the vulvar area. Dr. Melissa Mauskar joins me to discuss vulvar screening in this episode.Dr. Melissa Mauskar is a Dermatologist and Associate Professor in the Departments of Dermatology and Obstetrics and Gynecology at UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.

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 of the Stellar Cycles Podcast, we tackle those "itchy" and often taboo topics surrounding women's health that many shy away from discussing. We'll deconstruct the myths that these are "dirty" conditions and should be kept quiet. There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding around these issues, so my goal is to shed light on the differences between these conditions, their origins, and how we can heal and prevent them. As these issues affect the majority of women, it's time we stop shaming each other and start talking openly. The truth is, the vagina is a sensitive area, making women more prone to certain conditions than men. But don't worry—there's plenty to learn that can make managing these issues easier. Please note that this episode is based on my own experiences and research. Always seek the advice and treatment of your doctor for any medical conditions. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more women's health and wellness tips! Download our FREE phasic foods grocery guide here!
