076 - Sexual Wellness and The Key to Revitalizing Intimacy for Women After Menopause

If you're a woman who struggles with pain and discomfort during intimacy, you're not alone. There are a multitude of conditions that limit women in terms of intimacy, and they suffer in silence. In this episode, we're diving into this topic and sharing possible solutions.  As women age and go through menopause, they experience significant shifts in their hormones. These shifts, such as the loss of estrogen, can lead to vaginal dryness and other issues of sexual dysfunction. The good news is that estrogen deficiency is easily addressed through a cream or vaginal insert. Once a woman loses her estrogen, it does not come back. This is important to note for women looking to balance their hormones when balance is no longer an option. Once the ovaries have run out of eggs, we have to deal with the reality of final estrogen loss in women and the difficult symptoms that come along with this change. Most women will need to try various hormone replacement methods until they find the perfect one for them. There's no reason to fear it either. Any concern about the relationship between estrogen replacement and cancer is unfounded—cancer rates naturally rise as we get older no matter what. If you want to restore intimacy, there is help out there. Estrogen replacement is worth trying, even if you've tried it before and the method you used didn't work for you. You should feel encouraged to try a different method of delivery with a doctor who is well versed in hormone replacement therapy.   Connect with Dr. Cernaianu https://www.herabeautyandwellness.com/ https://www.instagram.com/herabeautyandwellness/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Hera-Healthcare-Mirela-Cernaianu-MD/100063462643162/
