This episode we hear your requests and finally talk about menopause and hormone replacement therapy! We discuss what to do when your patients start complaining of hot flashes (its getting hot in here), night sweats, mood swings and vaginal atrophy. Thats right, we are talking about menopause, genitourinary symptoms of menopause and traditional hormone replacement therapy, and you wont want to miss these pearls, as your patients will be glad you didn't. Join us as we break down the categories of different kinds of medications (estrogens, progesterones, combined products, topicals, SERMs, oh my!), and when to consider starting HRT for your patients. We also talk about some of the newer hotter agents out there like osphena, duovee and imvyexy. Listen this week and you'll be the hit in the office with all the latest and greatest.

Steph finally found time for us to chat again and this time we are talking about hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. This episode we are focusing on the infamous women's health initiative study, specifically its results and how they scared thousands of clinicians. We review it as well as more recent studies since then and talk about why you should not be scared of HRT. Join us as we discuss who is an appropriate candidate for HRT and when are those risks greater than any potential benefits.

We are officially ONE year old! We celebrate the podcast by laughing and answering several of YOUR questions from how to be a good student, preparing for rotations and job hunting and clinical pearls! Thanks for following and listening along and hope for many more!

We're back with our favorite physical therapist, Emily to discuss pelvic pain! We dive into dyspareunia, vulvadynia, intersitial cystitis and endometriosis and how pelvic floor PT can help your patients significantly better than just adding lubricant or having another glass of wine!
