April Live Podcast! How do you transition from BioT pellets to systemic estrogen and vaginal cream? Just started vaginal estrogen and both times had lower abdominal discomfort the next day. Is this a potential side effect? Is there another route besides the cream or ring? I have been seeing a PFT on and off for about 6 yrs since having a partial hysterectomy. Recently I've had a lot of pressure and feel as though something is stuck in the rectal area. I have seen my GP and I have had a pelvic and rectal exam. He's sending me for an ultrasound this Saturday. I have also seen my PFT. I will see her again in a month. I guess my question is, if I have a prolapse going on would the PFT pick that up with the pelvic exam? and would an ultrasound show a prolapse? Hormone problems related to COVID? Any insight? Bartholin Cysts I am 57 and still having a pretty regular period. Question about Bio_T and hormone labs. My periods have always been heavy, 7 days… and have gotten even heavier as I’ve gotten older ......I have to say having a pretty regular period at 57 sucks.

How sexual function is biopsychosocial and the meds that affect the “bio” part of this There are two FDA approved meds for women with low desire. They work in 50-60%of people that take them. They work by boosting dopamine. Addyi - filbanserin - came out in 2015. It is an oral nightly medication. Side effects are sleepiness and may include weight loss. It is safe to use if you are on antidepressants. Vyleesi – bremelanotide – an on demand injection – likely works by increasing dopamine. Do we fix hormones first or use these meds first? How to navigate prescribing these meds as a provider?

Desire is Shaped by our Lived Experiences – The Heteronormative Theory Paper Dr. Sari van Anders is the Canada 150 Research Chair in Social Neuroendocrinology, Sexuality, and Gender/Sex, and Professor of Psychology, Gender Studies, and Neuroscience, at Queen's University. Dr. van Anders has published over 80 papers with research that sets out new ways to conceptualize, understand, and map gender/sex, sexual diversity, and sexuality, and also provides unique tools and theories for feminist and queer bioscience, especially within social neuroendocrinology and studies of testosterone. Can we talk about Gendered behavior for a fast minute – a lot of people – majority people – might not know or believe that they are “socially gendered” – she explains this to us. How does being gendered as a female affect our desire? how some aspects of sexuality widely assumed to be hormonal, might actually be better understood with or alongside a sociocultural lens. Okay – on to the mind blowing paper on “the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men” – Archives of Sexual behavior 2021. - Why did you write this? - You propose the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men, arguing that heteronormative gender inequities are contributing factors. - Four Hypothesis o Inequitable divisions of household labor Women have less free time o Blurring of partner and mother roles – its not that mothers aren’t sexual – it is that the relationship between mothers and those they mother is not a sexual one. Nurturant experiences decrease testosterone and increase peptides like oxytocin and vasopressin. Thinking sexual thoughts can change testosterone levels How Cortisol affects our sexual response o Objectification of women Proximity to the norm matters for their desire Women’s focus on appearance and being sexy instead of sexual Ignorance about the vulva and clitoris negatively impacts desire in women partnered with men o Gender norms surrounding sexual initiation. Discomfort initiating sex contributes to low desire. If women have to say yes everytime a man wants sex – this contributes to low desire. “women’s sexual pleasure within heteronormative framings is fraught.” Women’s duty for sex or inability to say no. - What do we do now that we know this? - Orgasm coercion is her future research The Heteronormativity Theory of Low Sexual Desire in Women Partnered with Men https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-021-02100-x https://www.queensu.ca/psychology/van-anders-lab/ March’s Sponsor is Tabu – to prioritize your sexual wellness www.heytabu.com CODE: YANB for 15% off your kit This Podcast is not approved for credit by CMEfy, however, you may reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and engage to earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ via point-of-care learning activities here: https://earnc.me/vKccS5 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Worldwide, the rates of chronic pelvic pain for women of childbearing age range from 14% to 32% Deb Malkin is a plus size, body positive, LCS certified life coach, massage therapist, movement enthusiast, and client zero of her pain recovery coaching work. She had only been taught that pain is related to issues in the tissues and was never taught the link between the brain, nervous system and the experience of chronic pain. Her mission has always been for people of all sizes, abilities and genders to feel at home in their bodies. She shares her story of chronic pain. The brain can continue and perpetuate pain long after the body has healed. Why is chronic pain everywhere? Does pain tell us lies or is it in how we interpret the pain that gets us in trouble? The role of fear and being able to feel. We talk about pain with sex and pelvic pain and tips for that issue. The “perfectionist personality” and suppressed rage and how it is involved with pain. The role of self-acceptance and body image and pain. The process of just being aware changes your brain.

On social media A woman asked – my vagina is so dry that sex is painful, how can I fix this? Wikipedia: Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as making someone question their own reality. The answer provided on social media to this question: - Regular sexual activity, self stimulation and pelvic floor exercise can help keep your vagina health. - IS THIS ACTUALLY TRUE? - This doctor said “I tell women to avoid sugar and use probiotics to make sure their entire ecosystem is “humming along” – NO evidence that oral probiotics affect vaginal microbiome – then she plugs her diet and her probiotic products - She then goes on to say – two additional ways to counteract vaginal dryness is to strengthen the pelvic floor by doing kegel exdrcises and using a “holistic formulation” that helps maintain optimal levels of natural moisture, and “supports a healthy vulva and vagina”. – this is her product – which states it “prevents leaks” and costs 70 dollars. Also claims to “reignight desire” – WTF I searched in J sex med - does intercourse delay or treat vaginal atrophy? – can’t find a damn thing I found on an internet site - “Regular sexual activity, with or without a partner, can help maintain healthy vaginal tissues through increased blood flow and avoid or lessen the effects of vaginal atrophy.” - No citations, so again I went to J Sex med – can’t find a thing On menopause.org - Regular vaginal sexual activity is important for vaginal health after menopause because it stimulates blood flow, helps keep your vaginal muscles toned, and maintains your vagina’s length and stretchiness. - No citations, and furthermore, the vaginal muscles are smooth muscles controlled by the autonomic nervous system – you can’t tone them with sexual activity - I will buy that stretching the vagina frequently probably allows it to be stretched frequently without pain – but is there evidence and why sex, why not just dilation? Current treatment options for postmenopausal vaginal atrophy Iuliia Naumova1 and Camil Castelo-Branco2 Int J Womens Health. 2018; 10: 387–395. It is important not to forget about the positive effect of sexual intercourse on the improvement of vaginal health – no citations (JAMA 1983;249:2195-2198) Vaginal Atrophy in the Postmenopausal WomanThe Importance of Sexual Activity and Hormones - But this study was not randomized – perhaps the less atrophy allowed the women to be sexually active and not vice versa? How do we know the sexual activity caused less atrophy? We don’t have any studies. Another paper on vaginal atrophy gave this recommendation - Regular sexual activity should be encouraged to maintain vaginal health. (II-2B) - Usefulness/efficacy is less well established by evidence/opinion Why is level 2-2B evidence cited as scientific fact?

Dr. Juliana is a relationship and sex expert with a PhD in Counseling Education; a background in teaching gender studies and therapists at the graduate level; a licensed marriage and family / professional and practicing counselor herself. She says sex is the final chapter in personal development – I could not agree more! We learn how to talk, but rarely learn how to listen to feedback - that and more in this wonderful episode. Our sexuality is so much more than what we were taught. It is so much more than our sex acts. How does sex relate to everything else in your life? Let’s talk about sexual agency. The power of having your own back. Let’s talk about consent in a marriage and/or a long term relationship – a woman has sex with the partner because he wants to, but she really doesn’t want to and just goes through the moves – - Is this consent? - Is she damaging her “desire” or rewiring her brain when she just goes through the motions? - “It’s okay because it has always been okay is not good enough” How to receive communication – how to feel safe – we do a fun role play!

Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here: https://earnc.me/dMybKs The topic formally known as Sex-ED Dr. Teresa Wood trained in Philosophy, she has always been interested in the ways in which science and belief are applied to our bodies, our wellness, our sexuality and our education. For years thereafter, she used her stage presence, her poetry and her humorous teaching style to help her audience unlearn the old-school Sex Education that created fear and shame in place of respectful sexuality. Her pleasure positive Sexy Seminars replaced Sex-Ed with awareness, empowerment, and access to healthy hotness within relationships. In 2006, she earned a Medical Doctorate and pursued her interest in Sexual Medicine. She continues to write and work in BC, Canada as a physician, and a Sex/Intimacy & Relationship Coach, revamping the topic formerly known as Sex-Ed. I love this bio! I just heard sex ed called “preventative reproduction” – it really isn’t sex ed at all is it? “You get a fair bit of education from silence” – Dr. Wood “Loss of foreplay is loss of sex for women” – Dr. Wood She describes low libido as low dopamine in the nucleus accumbens. They are not being rewarded for the sex they are having (because it isn’t satisfying and not releasing dopamine). ““de-goal-ing” penetrative sex is the goal” – Dr. Wood Female Ejaculation - some people have it and some people don’t – both are okay. “We don’t care if it is pee, we care if it is glee!” – Dr. Wood https://www.instagram.com/drteresawood/ https://drteresawood.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Chronic stress is the underlying reason for seeing a primary care doctor. Chronic stress makes you live a shorter life. Chronic stress kills your libido and sex life. I talk with Dr. Robyn Tiger, certified in yoga therapy, meditation and life coaching with specialty certification in trauma. With stress, anxiety, depression and burnout on the rise, and having personally lost 3 medical colleagues to suicide, she is deeply passionate about sharing what she learned with as many people as she can. How to get “that loving feeling” back. Learn about your stress response and how to regulate it and drop into the parasympathetic system (the relaxation response).
