I am gobsmacked by this content! I have been having bladder issues that I have seen a urologist and a gynecologist for, but neither of them put the pieces together 😠 I've been on multiple rounds of antibiotics (3x), back to back, because of "kidney infections" that turned out NOT to be infections, but false positives from the dip stick method. Had a cystoscopy of my bladder because they were telling me my symptoms were that of cancer! It wasn't. Had both an ultrasound and an x-ray of my kidneys - all normal. Then I find this video that explains the need for estrogen for your bladder! I could scream! So the reason for traces of blood in my urine is because it needed estrogen!?! I asked my doc for estradiol cream. We'll see, but I am so frustrated because I have been trying to address my hormones since I started menopause at 39-years-old!! I tried biodenticals but the specialist, whom I flew across the country to see, couldn't get it right. I finally gave up. Then this bladder frequency issue came up a couple of years ago, as a result of a strange mid-back pain that I thought were my kidneys. I was told that the pain was too high up to be kidney pain, but they took a urine sample anyway. I had a very high Ketone level at that time because I was trying to reduce my joint inflammation by going almost zero carb, and with the trace amounts of blood in my urine, they thought I should be in incredible pain, but I wasn't. And they whacked on my lower back a few times and I was fine. But they still put me on a round of antibiotics because the provider said that my diet containing excess proteins had scratched the inside of my kidneys and caused this situation. The urologist later said "that does not sound reasonable." So, 6 months later, and a lot of medical debt, unnecessary antibiotics, and stopping my diet, I'm back where I started, only now I have this information that is probably the missing piece of the puzzle. I know this is a long way to say thank you, but thank you!
Did you have burning
If you can see a Nephrologist, you might get better answers.
Round after round of antibiotics without confirmed reasons, are not the answer, they can cause gut problems.
I hope things improve for you.
Do you have vaginal pain?
I am 70 but I have had this problem since I went through menopause at age 55. Every time I have mentioned this problem to my gynecologist I get no help or suggestions. Makes me feel as though I am alone with this issue. I finally just stopped asking about it.Thank you for explaining hand giving me some help in this area. This is very frustrating and makes me feel abnormal.
I’m 77 and I’ve suffered with awful burning pain in my vulva…I haven’t seen a doctor yet our docs don’t have a lady doc which put me off…but at 77 what the heck….anyway I thought I’d reply to you so you won’t think you are the only one xx
I’m 52 and I have had this since I was 48. No good suggestions
IM 75 N STILL SEXUALLY ACTIVE---I USE KY BEADS---U CAN GET THEM FROM AMAZON AND MOST DRUG STORES. THEY WORK WONDERS FOR ME. I JUST STARTED USING AND SO IMPRESSED---NO BLEEDING NO SCRATCHES ETC.
I had a total hysterectomy at age 54 a few years ago. Sex has been extremely painful. I’ve tried all the lubricants but it’s just not the same. I don’t want to take any prescription medication. It’s been horrible as I always had a great sex life. I’m not sure what to do.
@@lharr I learnt a few months' ago that being on the birth control pill, even for a short time, has a dreadful effect on the hormones. It is like a switch that turns off.
It is sickening the number of doctors who don't want to prescribe BHRT because of a flawed study. Women are suffering needlessly.
Yes, the study done by WHI, was flawed and results shouldn't have been put out to the public, until the study was corrected.
The media sensationalized the results, causing a huge backlash for women.
This has caused women decades of unnecessary suffering, it was as if the medical profession washed their hands of annoying menopausal symptoms and prescribed antidepressants, instead of addressing the problems.
Has there been any other health concern that's been so neglected?
I hope more will be done, women shouldn't have to live half of their adult lives in pain and embarrassment.
@@margaretr5701soooo true - it’s cruel

@@wayne9094 Why are you even reading this??
I started out over 10 years ago at 58 using a compounded cream of Estriol. Not Estradiol or Estrogen, but Estriol. It’s like the first step I think to start with. It has worked wonderful, and I have not needed to move on to higher dosed or stronger estrogens. I got this from a naturopath, and then from my Nurse practitioner. It is a cream, and when I first started using it, it was as an insertion. Now I just use it topically. Game changer, start as soon as you can.
Hey thanks for sharing, is there risk for blood clots with that?
I would be so afraid to use any hormone stuff as this comes with a lot of risk like stroke, cancer, clots. No way.
It works wonders. I think it’s great
@@lynncameron9885 that’s great Lynn. I do wish you well.
@@cyn4246 some of those fears came about due to a faulty study done by the WHI.
Thank you for your welth of knolage. This is importent infomation and alot of women don't know where to look for answers to these problems.
God bless you too! I just learned some new things thanks. 🙏🏼
Oh my gosh! I have had a terrible time with this condition for about a year now. I am 69, had a partial hysterectomy at 21, after birth of my son. Then a complete at 33. I had almost decided I might have cancer as all types run in my family! I thought I was allergic to the elastic in my underwear, could not find a comfortable chair anywhere! Went through countless pillows, thinking it was the way I was sitting because of my OA in my lower back! Thank you so very much for talking about this painful condition! I will see a doctor asap! Thank you , Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video. I just recently been diagnosed with MS. I have had these kinds of problems for a while now. I have told the neurologist I saw about it. He referred me to a urinary specialist. I have been in menopause for a few years now.
Thank you for the relief this video brought....I thought there was something "different" about me! This explains things very well.
I'm 59 and have had this problem for a few years. My primary care doc is a woman and the same age I am. She knew exactly what to do. She did an exam and gave me vaginal estradiol suppositories. Beyond that, I use Good Clean Love lube, it's naturally water-based with aloe. I didn't want hrt, just a help locally and that's what I have. There are no words!
so pardon my dumbness but is estradiol suppositories the same as HRT suppositories and its ok like I mean safe, god I get so confused
Wow, I've never heard of this before. So informational. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this informative video! It has given me the impetus to start a discussion with my gynecologist as I am experiencing many of these symptoms after menopause.
Oh my word i have struggled unknowingly with this condition for over 20 years initially thinking that i had Interstitial cystitis , i am now 70 and have just seen a Gynaecologist not for this problem but with an Ovarian problem i did mention this chronic Urinary problem infections and incontinence on examining me she mentioned VA i had no idea what that meant but checking with Dr Google all the symptoms were there even the uncomfortable sitting down which can be awful i have been put on Estrogen pessaries and i am waiting to see a Urologist, but i am just so pleased to come across video's like this that can finally tell me what i have.
It's really sad that women aren't given more information ahead of time, on what to expect and what to do.
So many women are put on antidepressants which doesn't address the real issues, although women do suffer with depression due to lack of hormones and the physical consequences.
The kind of information in this video, should be given by Drs to women as they enter perimenopause, and a discussion about what can be done to help women through and after menopause.
It's a really neglected subject and causes women years of unnecessary suffering, myself included.
Here's hoping for better research and help for women. It's overdue.
I hope you're feeling better these days?
Great information.
Thank you.
I had a full hysterectomy at 36/37 . I am 64 now .In my late 40’s I started having aloT of pain during sex. I went to 5 different gynecologists and they all said see a sex therapist. I was so pissed off! After another year & no sex since it hurt I went to another gynecologist who said my vagina was only 1 inch long and maybe half an inch wide. She said get these dialators to stretch it, but if the real thing hurts artificial ones hurt just as much if not more! She didn’t suggest any hormones which I had stopped because they had caused cystic acne. I never wanted to end my sex life. I have no dryness & never did. I refuse to go to any more gynecologist near me. They all blamed me when they did listen to me! I’m going back to my old gynecologist in nc I’m in nj because I trust him. & my ins will cover him. But I’m frustrated beyond belief due to losing so many years of a live life because doctors always want to blame everything on emotional issues when they refuse to do their job ! I had my hysterectomy due to POCD. I was bleeding 3 weeks every month and couldn’t handle the pain anymore, so after about 10 surgeries I chose a hysterectomy, but regret that also.
Hello. I just wanted to say I was going through so much pain like you're describing and my obgyn sent me to a urologist and they found out I have a very painful bladder condition called interstitial cystitis. When I was diagnosed the Dr really helped me a lot. I hope you feel better soon dear!!
Possibly Pelvic PT would help as it helped me. I was surprised to learn of the existence of one continuous muscle of the pelvic floor. Mine was as tight as a drum and my vagina was so tight that an internal by MD was painful and almost impossible. Also the estrogen cream prescribed cause irritation so I stopped it. My pelvic PT therapist recommended application of plain KY jelly daily after shower, just small amount, and no more irritation. Pelvic PT is becoming more popular and was a lifesaver for me. I hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I am going through this very issue for some time now. I am a breast cancer survivor and have been through chemo. I came upon this video seemingly in error but l think God directed me here so l could get this information. Thanks.
I really appreciate you addressing this. My doctor put me on the Estring after using estradiol tablets for a while and being annoyed by having to use them twice a week, so the Estring is great. The only issue is the tremendous cost!! Luckily for me my employer covers most of it, but I find it horrifying that insurance companies charge $400+ for this medication, when it's just estrogen. I was told by one doctor that they're able to charge that much because so many women find it taboo and are embarrassed to talk about it, and so tolerate whatever the cost is. That's so wrong.
That is one I haven't tried all rest hasn't worked. Is it just that you don't have apply it? Otherwise same stuff? Sounds expensive alright!!
@@jeanluby4636 Yes, it's just a silicone ring with estrogen that slowly releases over 3 months, so you only have to do something when it's time for a new one! SO much better, and the dr. said the continual release is a more steady dose than the spikes you get from the tablets.
I’m using vagifem, and my work insurance covers 80% of the cost, so my out-of-pocket expense is only about $12 for 18 pills, which will last me nine weeks since I’m on two pills per week. Vaginal health is so important. At 56 years old, I cannot even imagine not being able to have sexual intercourse because of vaginal atrophy. This is a normal function as a human. There is even a laser treatment for vaginal atrophy, which is about $1200 per treatment, and I believe three treatments are needed. This needs to be covered by insurance companies as well! Insurance companies need to realize that this is not for aesthetics, but to allow women to live a normal life. Insurance companies will cover massages and dietitians, which a lot of women do not take advantage of because it’s not needed for them. Insurance companies need to start covering treatments for women’s sexual health. They do not realize how this phase in a woman’s life can literally be so devastating!
Thank u Doctor for your suggestions
Wow! This is amazing. You share so much important information women know so little about. This channel is great!

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you!
Excuse me I am very late but I am 16 yr old I am panicking but can you help I have problem sitting and walking
Thank you so much for this video. I am 64 years old and had a partial hysterctomy at the age of 40 for eccessive menstral bleeding. I am also a type 2 insulin dependent diabetic. In 2008 iwas diagnosed with thyroid cancer having a complete thyroidectomy with post surgical radiation. In 2014 i was diagnosed with breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomy but no chemo or radiation. Over the past few years I have been having the problems you described in this video but over the past few months i have been dealing with almost unbearable vaginal dryness and severe burning and stinging on urination. My GP did a urinaylsis and found i have a UTI and am treating me with Macrobid. The burning is some better but still after I shower and use water i am still burning but not quite so bad. I've tried several creams for bacterial and yeast infections to no avail. I have an appointment to follow up with my GYN this week but to be honest I am a little concerned about vaginal/vulva cancer. I know they are very rare but just can't imagine what else could be going on. My husband is 80 years old and it has been quite sometime since we've had intercorse. I am so tired of feeling bad "down there" and hope something can be done. Thanks again for your video.
Terry I’m praying for you hun 🙏🏻 .
@@bettydamnboop3030 Terry, I began using vH essentials, Ph Balanced Daily Feminine Wash, Tea Tree Oil & Prebiotic about couple month ago. Helped tremendously. $7 on Amazon.

I’m only 26 and this sounds exactly like what I’m going thru but I don’t do any of these things so now I guess I need to do more research 😭
Last period in July, so thank you for preparing me. So far, all is still good, but knowing what to expect is very helpful. Thank you.
Very good to know so you can start treatments at early signs so it doesn’t get worse.
Honestly, the only symptom I thought women had when they were going through menopause was hot flashes. I had no idea about vaginal atrophy, never even heard of it before my gynaecologist mentioned it to me a couple of years back. I was horrified to hear it, I had never even heard about such a thing, or even heard it discussed by other women. As soon as I started getting symptoms, I went to see my gynecologist, and she put me on Vagifem [estradiol]. It’s like night and day. The burning and itching is gone, and without being too graphic, my vaginal area looks normal again, whereas before taking Vagifem, it looked like it had a literally shrunken. For the last couple of years, my gynaecologist encouraged me to take a mirror and look down there for signs of vaginal atrophy, but I was too scared. Until the symptoms started. It freaked me out how different it looked. I am forever grateful for Vagifem for restoring me.
Thanks for information. This is new for me
Wow I didn't know I had this until I went to get my coil removed and have a smear . Talk about painful. Now I understand how I got it and will take your advice and start the home treatment.
So informative! You always do such a great job of having a great videos for those people who have woman questions!
Thank you!
I had that issue, and my uterus and my ovaries hurt also. It was painful all the time and especially when I walked. The doctor examined me and said that everything was atrophied. Also, i had frequent cystitis. What helped me a lot was vagifem suppositories twice weekly. All the pain cleared up.
Lucky you! I've gone over 2 yrs. with no help. I'm now told pain management.
How long before the Vagifem worked? I am on 10mg twice weekly. Just started twice weekly.
Thank you Dr. ❤
Thankgod a real doctor talking about this. I just heard a Physical therapist calling herself "Doctor"! Thank u for this
? Physical Therapists are doctors. Why would they call themselves any different?
Physical Therapists have to achieve a DPT (doctor of physical therapy) degree in order to be licensed. They have bachelor's, master's, and the DPT (think PhD), do residency, etc. They are entitled to be called "doctor," just as a PhD is, but due to the politics in most medical facilities, only physicians are referred to that way.
Glad you shared this! thank you!

Thank you - my gynaecologist said my vaginal walls were raw. I’m using an oestrogen gel now . I’ve had burning on urinnation. My husband has been impotent so that doesn’t help. He hasn’t been with me sexually for years now.
I appreciate you. I have the condition and mine is classified as severe but I was not informed on what to do to take care of the condition. I will do the home treatments and find a gynecologist that can help me.
I use to have this pre menopause. I am now over two years, and the only thing that has helped me is practicing yoga. Let me tell you, I feel like I’m 35 down there.
Is it because Yoga relaxes you?

it does still hurt.
Estradiol cream was a game changer for me . Years of depo provera left me estrogen deficient . My NP explained it’s actually good for us to have monthly menses which releases hormones . Before estradiol I had pain , tearing and redness . All gone after stopping depo and using estradiol cream . I’m sooo happy ! ❤

why do I have vaginal pain and pressure after 5 weeks post anterior repair? I have been fine for 5 weeks. I was having estrogen therapy vaginally before surgery and no longer need it .
Is this different than lichen sclerosis? Do you have a video on that subject?
I'm going for a bladder mesh lift surgery in a month and I wasn't aware of such treatment's you speak of...i.e. Mona Lisa Therapy, etc. At 78 years old, am I too old for these other remedies to really work? I've had the bladder prolapse for almost 3 years and feel I should go ahead with the therapy, but feel tricked that I knew nothing about such surgeries. What would you do if you were me?
I've had prior vaginal surgeries and the surgical site has one spot that feels like it's never healed over the last two years. I'm hoping for a good vaginal examination, especially the surgical site tomorrow. The Urologist was recommended for me but he only wants to have a phone conversation. To me that's crazy inadequate. I've also been referred to a pelvic Physical Therapist but she hasn't been willing to schedule anything with me this past month. I think she wants me to forget she was referred to me. I had two prior appointments before she disappeared. Their receptionist tells me "Ok, I'll let her know." It's frustrating trying to get proper examination, surgical revisions and willing practitioners. I'll be seeing the 4th MD by phone tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's all I can do at this time. This latest MD is a 2 hour drive to the far side of Chicago. I haven't given up hope. I'm 80 years old and hurting.
Dr, thank you for this podcast. I am 60 and going through it. My expensive cash-pay-only doctors treated me well. But, my doctors through my PPO Blue Shield of CA insurance have no clue and are underprescribing my medicines like HRT and estradial for my vagina.
I experienced the same thing. It is disgusting. My POS doctors are afraid of the "black box" warning but my Naturopathic doctor is willing and able to treat the whole body.

@@carollynt How do you know the estrogen caused it? It could have happened anyway, but she would have lived with bad symptoms of low estrogen, like burning and pain, depression, and incontinence for all those years after menopause.

Can this be reversed after 5 years of pain?
I've seen 2 UroGyns, 2 GYNs and a urologist for pelvic pain and bladder pain. None tested my Estrogens. Sad. I'm in my 40s.
Girl.... I'm telling you people act like they don't want to HELP when you're in pain down there! If I say I don't know what's going on, then help me you're the doctor! You tell me I'm in menopause, I'm quite sure it's something that can be done!
I'm hoping your other videos will have more treatments for vaginal atrophy. I'm extremely sensitive in my vulvar region to the point that the doctor had me undergo MRIs instead of a pelvic exam. Unlike a lot of folks with this condition, I'm not dry "down there." The last thing I want to do is make it wetter!!!
REALLY? I AM THE EXACT OPPOSITE---I WANT IT WETTER SO IT DOESNT HURT.

I have an ache there and I have bv had antibiotics and inserts antibiotics did not work waiting to see gynecologist have a white discharge help
I had this problem for quite a while. The urogyne was a waste of time. Estrogen cream gave me severe vertigo so maybe it was not needed or it was an overdose. Who knows since I was never tested for any hormone levels.
I have a question to ask every time if I sitting on the sofa to long my bottom feel uncomfortable what can I do to get help?
Can you use aloe Vera gel down there l also take aloe Vera juice and loads of water thank you ♥️
Please Doctor, could you create a video about Endometriosis sex pain? I had a endometriosis surgery but it didn’t improve my condition, I am on pelvic treatment but it just release the pain a little bit. Some symptoms looks like what you said but doctors usually say endometriosis is more about excessive estrogen. Help me if you can please, I am tired of doctors saying it is psychological. 😔 When they “blame” my mind they are the ones creating a mental problem in a healthy mind. Help me please if you are able to.
I'm not sure why this is on my algorithm. I hope I never have to deal with this! Good luck to anyone dealing with this

Same here. I use sea buckthorn.
Ms SD N - I haven’t had breast cancer, but my mom did & I don’t know if was estrogen related but I’m pretty sure it was because she had a very early in life hysterectomy & was on estrogen - anyway, my gynecologist tells me that estrogen cream is safe - it doesn’t go all through the bloodstream - I don’t really know, but thought I’d mention it

Why does atrophy cause a watery discharge? I’ve had a normal pap done and no STD’s but after my pap about 2 days later I have a yellowish, watery but sticky discharge.
I’m scared. I have had menopause symptoms and frecuent uti’s and also low MCH and MCHC labs and they still don’t get what it is.
Could this malfunction include maybe issues with cysts? I’ve had a cyst that grows back every time it’s removed from my urethra. I am in pain every single day and every single time I go to the bathroom. Thencyst comes back every 5-6 yrs. I don’t get much help from doctors here. Do you think estrogen could be the issue? Just need something to bring to them to maybe get them to try something else. You also mention bladder infections. I’m on UTI #4 for this year.
Deirdre Morris thank you and see I have IBS as well. Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out.

Heather Gerhardt it's not.
I have vaginal atrophy, intercourse was so painful we had to stop! I miss the intimacy with my husband.
My gyn subscribed an insert but that really was not any help at all.
