Episode description

Shifting levels of hormones during the transition into menopause cause changes in a woman’s body which can affect the vagina, vulva and bowels. Studies have shown that approximately 50% of post-menopausal women experience vaginal dryness - yet only 25% seek treatment and women with incontinence issues will wait for 6 years before they seek help.   Despite the high number of women experiencing problems, many feel too embarrassed to talk to their partners, friends and even health care professionals. But today that is exactly what we are going to do by talking to consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician Elaine Palmer and consultant colorectal surgeon Sarah Mills. In this episode they discuss:  Urinary incontinence and what to do about it  How to properly look after your vulva How to talk to a doctor about bottom issues Taking care of your pelvic floor  If you have been experiencing symptoms that are impacting on your quality of life and have been feeling embarrassed about asking a doctor about them then this show is a must listen.  https://onewelbeck.com/consultants/elaine-louise-palmer/ https://onewelbeck.com/consultants/ms-sarah-mills/ Are you interested in the menopause screening package or have other women’s health concerns?
