66: Don’t Be Duped: Misleading Marketing and the FDA
1377
You grab a product off the shelf—maybe it promises to help with bladder control, take off ten pounds, erase wrinkles, or boost orgasms. You assume it will do what it claims to do because it’s got the FDA seal right there on the package. Most consumers have no idea that most over-the-counter products have not been tested to make sure product claims are legitimate.
In this episode Dr. Streicher discusses:

65: The Dilemma of Dealing with Menopause AND Breast Cancer with Dr. Corinne Menn
2546
Essentially all women eventually enter menopause, and while most end up not taking hormones to treat their symptoms, they at least have the option to do so. Women with a breast cancer diagnosis, on the other hand, generally don’t have the same choices at their disposal and are told, or assume, they are not candidates for estrogen therapy. Millions of women are expected to just put up with hot flashes, brain fog, insomnia, and bone loss, not to mention all the changes below the belly button. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified gynecologist, with expertise in menopause and sexual medicine who was diagnosed with estrogen-positive breast cancer in her 20s. We will have a radical discussion about options, INCLUDING ESTROGEN to manage hot flashes and insomnia. In this episode, we discuss:

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, (also known as prasterone) is an FDA approved non-estrogen alternative with the brand name Intrarosa™.

63: Are Current Screening Guidelines HELPING women or HURTING Women? Controversies in Public Health Policy with Dr. Melissa Simon
2583
Today I am talking to Dr. Melissa Simon. Dr. Simon served on the US Preventative Services Task Force Recommendation Committee (USPSTF), the government organization that shapes public policy and sets recommendations followed by doctors all over the country. So, when your doctor says you only need a Pap test every 3 years and that you no longer need a Pap test at all after age 65, it is based on the recommendation of this committee.
How do they come up with these guidelines? And, are they always right? In this episode I challenge Dr. Simon on some controversial Task Force recommendations that have informed the way your doctor practices medicine, and dictated the health care you receive. And if you listened to Episode 58 Two Experts Two Timely Topics, you know what an amazing guest Dr. Simon is! We discuss:

60: Lack of Lubrication Not Always From Lack of Estrogen
1414
It’s hardly shocking that when a woman suddenly loses her lubrication, she (and often her doctor) assumes that vaginal dryness and pain with sexual activity are related to menopause. And it's true that if you are over 45, the onset of vaginal dryness is more likely than not because your estrogen tank is empty. But lots of things, other than menopause, can cause a total lack of lubrication.
In this segment, I discuss vaginal dryness as a consequence of:

56: Too Young for Menopause?
2501
Every day women tell me they were blindsided when they started having perimenopause symptoms in their mid-40’s since they assumed that menopause was years, or even a decade away. And they are pretty much shocked when I tell them that mid-forties is the normal time for estrogen levels to waver, or tank all together. But imagine if you enter menopause when you are in your 20’s or 30’s? This situation is more common than most people appreciate occuring in up to 3% of women.
In this episode I am joined by Dr. Hannah Short, a graduate of the University of Cambridge and a specialist in premature menopause recognized by the British Menopause Society. She is the author of The Complete Guide to POI and Early Menopause. We discuss:

51: Transdermal vs Oral Estrogens- What’s the Difference?
2122
Systemic estrogen, unlike local estrogen, affect every single cell in the body which means there is an impact on not only hot flashes but also your bones, your brain, your bladder, and your cardiovascular system along with your vulva and vagina. While there is a long list of benefits with both oral and transdermal systemic estrogen, the potential complications are where the differences come in. So, the decision to take an oral estrogen versus using a patch, spray, or skin gel is not just about personal preference, insurance coverage, and convenience, it’s also about safety. It’s about potential risks. It’s about your personal medical history.

1529
Post menopause bleeding. It’s not just about making the midnight run for tampons, it’s that stomach-dropping fear that “blood equals cancer” that causes women to spend hours consulting Dr. Google for some reassurance. Although most women imagine the worst, in the overwhelming majority of cases, postmenopausal spotting or bleeding is not, is not, an indication of anything serious.

2645
The key to eliminating incontinence, sexual pain and pelvic pain is to work one on one with a pelvic floor physical therapist. But while most women have a pretty good idea of what a physical therapist does when it comes to hips, and shoulders, it’s a mystery to most women what to expect from PELVIC FLOOR PT.

37: Having a Positive Sexual Experience Without Testing Positive
2344
Midlife women are at much greater risk for acquiring a sexually transmitted infection (STI) than most people appreciate. Since a condom covers only the penis, short of strapping on a trash bag to cover a man’s scrotum, anus, and surrounding skin, there is no such thing as total protection. And obviously, a condom is not a solution when it comes to oral sex, whether it is with a woman, a man, two women, or any other combination you can think of. In this episode, Dr. Streicher covers:

It used to be that the term “bioidentical hormone therapy” referred exclusively to compounded hormone products.

A legal loophole combined with aggressive marketing has resulted in women believing that compounded hormone creams and pellets not only work better but are safer than commercially produced products.

33: A Walk Down the Feminine Hygiene Aisle
1138
"Feminine Hygiene" is big business- "feminine" of course being the acceptable marketing euphemism to avoid saying the word "vagina". Over 50% of post-menopausal women are using at least one so-called “feminine hygiene” product on their vulvas or in their vaginas. But are vaginas so smelly that there need to be thousands of products and a billion-dollar industry to eliminate the stench?

31: The Truth About Estrogen Therapy and Breast Cancer
1265
The number one reason women give for not taking estrogen is fear of breast cancer. This fear is based on the 2002 study which has been reevaluated and shown to be flawed in a number of ways. Despite solid proof that estrogen therapy does not cause breast cancer and other serious illness, most doctors continue to exaggerate the risks and undersell the benefits of hormone therapy. The goal of this episode is not to convince you to take estrogen. The goal is to present the data so that you can make an informed decision.

30: Weight! Weight! Take a PILL to Take Off the Pounds? With Dr. Robert Kushner
2474
Obesity is a medical illness that is linked to heart disease, stroke, joint pain, and even many cancers. There are biologic reasons that make it difficult or impossible for some people to lose weight. But most doctors have little or no training in obesity management and basically tell their patients to “eat less” or “try harder.” Less than 1% of obese Americans are offered a prescription for one of the many safe and effective drugs which will facilitate the ability to maintain a healthy weight.
In this episode, Dr. Streicher is joined by one of the country’s foremost obesity specialists, Dr. Robert Kushner.

28: The BEST approach for BREAST Cancer Screening and Risk Reduction with Dr. Lisa Larkin
2911
It used to be so simple. Women were just advised to get a mammogram every year. But now we have not just x-rays, but ultrasound, MRI, digital breast tomosynthesis, screening mammograms, and diagnostic mammograms. Women are confused, and frankly, a lot of doctors are also confused. I am joined by Dr. Lisa Larkin, a board-certified internist, a certified menopause practitioner of the North American Menopause Society, and a nationally recognized expert in breast cancer risk assessment and prevention.

745
It’s a common scenario. A woman is given a prescription for a local vaginal estrogen, or DHEA, and uses it faithfully but continues to have painful intercourse. In most cases, the product is working just fine and there is another reason for the pain.

23: The Impact of Systemic Racism in Mid-life Women's Health
2798
Relatively minimal research is devoted to menopause even though menopause affects literally 100% of women that live past the age of 50. For women of color, the situation is far more dire.. Not only do we know less about the impact of medical conditions or therapies in mid-life black women but it is incredibly challenging for many black women to access appropriate care. My guest is Dr. Fenwa Milhouse, a urologist who is not only a talented surgeon, but uses social media to destigmatize pelvic floor & sexual conditions, as well as demonstrate the importance of representation in medicine.
Dr. Streicher and Dr. Milhouse discuss:
Dr Fenwa Famakinwa Milhouse is a fellowship-trained, board certified urologist. Originally born in Nigeria, her family immigrated to the US when she was a young child. She grew up in Texas and ended up at the University of Texas at Houston for medical school. She trained at the University of Chicago for residency and then completed a fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
She is a wife and mother of 3. Dr. Milhouse is passionate about introducing the public to the world of urology, mentoring underrepresented minorities, and diversity and inclusivity in the workplace.
She uses social media to destigmatize pelvic floor & sexual conditions, as well as demonstrate the importance of representation in medicine.

25: Moisturizers are Not Just for Your Face
496
Individual cells that make up the vaginal wall are loaded with water in young women but lose all that moisture right about the time you lose your estrogen. As a result, vaginal tissue gets thin, dry, and in many cases is unable to provide any decent lubrication no matter how aroused you are. But buyer beware! MANY PRODUCTS THAT ARE LABELED AS VAGINAL MOISTURIZERS ARE NOT FOR VAGINAL USE AND ARE NOT MOISTURIZERS!

23: Welcome to Peri-menopause!
789
Years before estrogen production completely shuts down, HORMONE LEVELS start to FLUCTUATE wildly during that special time of life known as PERIMENOPAUSE. Waiting out bothersome hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia is not generally the best strategy since perimenopause can last for years. In addition, it’s not as if those symptoms magically go away when you enter menopause!

20: Is Non-monogamy Having a Moment? With Dr. Wednesday Martin
4358
Prepare to rethink everything you have been taught about female sexuality. One in five couples practice open non-monogamy, yet cultural and societal expectations are that a woman have only one partner for life. Dr. Martin’s book, UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is Wrong-and how the new science can set us free “cuts through the junk science and regressive cultural narratives that have shaped our beliefs about female infidelity for centuries revealing, a truth both liberating and disconcerting: women are no more “naturally monogamous” than men; nor are their libidos shrinking violets.”

16: Minimizing the Monotony of Monogamy: How relationships change over time with Dr. Alexandra Solomon
2871
When there is a lack of lust 20 years into an otherwise loving marriage or relationship, many, if not most of my patients come to me thinking their indifference to sexual activity is a result of declining hormone levels and if write a prescription for estrogen or a libido pill, everything will be fine. And yes, a change in hormones can be part of the problem, but there are a lot of other reasons that have nothing to do with menopause that impact on keeping that sexual spark alive. In this episode, Dr. Streicher chats with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, an assistant clinical professor at Northwestern University, an award-winning author, a TedX speaker, and the host of the hit podcast, “Reimagining Love”.

There is no question that something happens to skin once you hit 50, and that something isn’t good.
