Welcome to another essential episode of The Gynarchy Podcast! Today, I am honored to be joined by Dr. Sameena Rahman, board certified ob/gyn, sexual medicine specialist, and NAMS certified menopause medicine specialist, to discuss the often misunderstood and under-discussed topic of menopause.
In "All Things Menopause," we discuss the physical, emotional, and social aspects of menopause, providing an overview of what to expect and how to manage this significant life transition. Dr. Rahman shares her expert insights and practical advice to help navigate this stage with confidence and ease.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- Dr. Rahman's background and journey to specializing in menopause and sexual medicine
- Defining menopause
- The symptoms associated with perimenopause during the transition, including what Dr. Rahman refers to as the 3 B’s: bleeding, brain, and burning
- How our patriarchal culture dismisses menopausal women’s symptoms
- The larger health risks that menopause can be associated with, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and dementia
- Reconsidering the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with newer data
- Contraindications for HRT use
- Non-hormonal treatments for menopause symptoms
- Sexual health in menopause
This episode is essential listening for anyone approaching or experiencing menopause, as well as those who want to learn more to help other women through this transition. Join me for an fascinating conversation with Dr. Sameena Rahman that will inspire and inform you.
