The Menopause Symptoms We Don't Talk About: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
The Menopause Symptoms We Don’t Talk About 🌸
Menopause is about so much more than hot flushes.
Vaginal dryness, irritation, painful sex, bladder leakage, urinary urgency, recurrent UTIs and even changes or “shrinkage” of the vulval and vaginal tissues can all occur as oestrogen levels decline.
Collectively, many of these changes are known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) yet many women have never heard of it.
For October’s Health Topic and Menopause Awareness Month, we’re opening up the conversation about what can happen “down there”, why these changes occur, when to seek medical advice, and the different ways women can be supported through naturopathic care, pelvic-floor physiotherapy and conventional treatment.
Because these symptoms may be common, but that doesn’t mean you simply have to put up with them.
Let’s make the uncomfortable conversations a little more comfortable. 🌸
