    S3 Ep133: Best Breast Advice When it comes to Hormone Therapy With Dr. Corinne Menn
    Jun 20 2024
    There continues to be great confusion regarding the impact of hormone therapy on the breast. And despite the known benefits of hormone therapy, and reassuring data regarding the impact of hormone therapy on breast cancer, most clinicians are still reluctant to prescribe it, and most women are reluctant to take it. Even more so if a woman is high risk for breast cancer or has a breast cancer diagnosis. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified Ob GYN and menopause expert who herself had a breast cancer diagnosis when she was in her 20s. We will be reviewing the latest research on the impact of estrogen on the breast in several different scenarios. PREGNANCY post breast cancerWomen who have a BREAST CANCER diagnosis Women with a FAMILY HISTORY of breast cancerWomen with a BRCA MUTATION after prophylactic ovary removalThe approach to therapy for women with a NEW BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSISThe use of local vaginal estrogen in women with a breast cancer diagnosis that are taking TAMOXIFEN or using an AROMOTASE INHIBITORIf a LOCAL VAGINAL ESTROGEN needs to be used at the lowest doseWhat to do if your DOCTOR NOT WILLING to prescribe local or systemic estrogen (list of articles to share is below) If a woman with a breast cancer diagnosis can use TESTOSTERONE for libido and other possible benefits Dr. Corrine Menn https://drmenn.com/ @drmennobgyn For more information: Episode 124 All Hormones Are Not Created Equal with Dr. James Simon Episode 65- The Dilemma of Menopause and Breast Cancer Episode 31 The TRUTH About Hormone Therapy: Does it CAUSE or Does it PREVENT Breast Cancer?

    S3 Ep132: The Itchy Vulva (and Not So Itchy Vulva) with Dr. Jill Krapf
    Jun 13 2024
    Men have always had the obvious advantage of inspecting their genitalia with essentially no effort on their part. For women, it’s a little more challenging. Combine that with the recommendation that there is no need for women to have a gynecologic exam as they get older, most doctors are also not looking. Today I am joined by Dr.Jill Krapf, a gynecologist whose area of expertise is …the vulva. We will be discussing one of the most maddening, frustrating symptoms in all of gynecology- THE ITCHY VULVA , but just as important, why even if your vulva isn’t itching, why it still needs some attention. In this episode Why it is important to have a VULVAR EXAM Why VULVAR CANCER numbers are increasing HOW to inspect your vulva What products can IRRITATE the vulva and should be avoided When URINE is the culprit The difference between a VULVAR YEAST infection and a vaginal yeast infection How to get rid of CHRONIC YEAST Vulvar itching from LOW ESTROGEN How to know if you have a dermatologic condition such as LICHEN SCLEROSUS How to get the best results from your lichen sclerosus treatment If your vulvar itching could be CANCER Why even if your vulva is not itchy, it still needs to get checked regularly Jill Krapf MD www.jillkrapfmd.com Dr. Krapf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jillkrapfmd/ Dr. Krapf’s Lichen Sclerosus Webinar on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vltY9mr8E68 To find a vulvar specialist: Lichen Sclerosus Support Network: https://www.lssupport.net/ The International Society for the Study of Sexual Medicine: https://www.issm For More info on this topic: Episode 93 What’s Up Down There Episode 131Why You Need to Keep Seeing a Gyne with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany Episode 60 Lack of Lubrication Not Always From Lack of Estrogen Episode 4: Is Your Lubricant Helping or Hurting Your Vagina?

    S3 Ep131: Why You Need to Keep Seeing a Gyne with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany
    Jun 6 2024
    More likely than not, if you are over 65, your internist has declared everything between your belly button and your thighs to be the “NO NEED” zone. “NO NEED” for a pap, “NO NEED” need for a speculum, “NO NEED” to remove your underpants, and definitely “NO NEED” to see a gynecologist unless you have a specific problem. But in today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Shieva Ghofrany to explain the flaw in this reasoning and why “no complaint” is not the same as “No problem”. We discuss specific issues that are addressed post menopause: Pap tests and other screening testsThe reason for a gynecologic exam in non-Pap yearsThe problem with your internist doing your Pap testOther reasons the annual exam is important Conditions with no symptomsSTI screeningSexual HealthMenopause issuesHysterectomyInsurance issues Shieva Ghofrany MD Instagram -@drshievag Website: Tribecalledv.com For more information: Episode 62 Are Current Screening Guidelines Helping Women or Hurting Women?

    … and how to increase longevity with and without hormone therapy The idea that menopause only lasts for a few years is a common misconception. You may have even been told by a medical professional that when you no longer have hot flashes, you are done with menopause! But menopause means you’re no longer producing estrogen.

    S3 Ep129: PCOS Problems Post Menopause with Dr. Allison Rodgers
    May 23 2024
    When I first learned about PCOS during my training, I was told that once a woman with PCOS hit menopause, irregular periods, excess hair growth dealing with fertility problems and other manifestations of PCOS were in the rear-view mirror. And that’s true, but we now know that women who had PCOS during the reproductive years, are not entirely off the hook down the road and that PCOS early in life is associated with several health issues later in life. Today I am having a conversation with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Alison Rogers, about the impact of PCOS later in life. The history of PCOS, AKA Stein Levinthal SyndromeWhat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome isHealth concerns of young women with PCOSIf there is a genetic predisposition to PCOSWhy women with PCOS are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseaseWhat happens to women with PCOS when they go through menopausePost menopause risks in women with a history of PCOSIf women with PCOS can safely use hormone therapyWrap Up!

    May 16 2024
    While not everyone is necessarily good about regular physical activity, no one questions that it’s good for you. Cardiovascular health, weight management, cognitive function, mood, better sleep and even reducing the risk of many kinds of cancer are all established benefits to moving as opposed to sitting on your butt all day. But, when it comes to the impact of exercise when it comes to reducing hot flashes, the jury is still out. Dr. Maria Sophocles is the Medical Director of Women’s Healthcare of Princeton. She is a certified menopause practitioner and has a particular interest in non-hormonal approaches to help with menopause symptoms. In this episode, we discussed a study that was recently published in the Journal Menopause titled “The influence of habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior on objective and subjective hot flashes at midlife” Link to article: Witkowski, Sarah PhD1; White, Quinn BA1; Shreyer, Sofiya MA2; Brown, Daniel E.
