#284 Why Menopause Is Making You Susceptible to Infections (And What to Do About It)


Listen Later

Are you in perimenopause or post-menopause and dealing with recurrent infections, wondering why now? Why am I having bladder infections or vaginal infections when maybe I haven't had them any other time in my life, or not since many decades ago?

I'm Dr. Doni Wilson. I'm a women's health expert, a naturopathic doctor and midwife, and I've been helping women with their health, including their vaginal and urinary health, for over 25 years. This is what I think about and help patients with every day, and I'm so glad that you're here listening in for this information.

Maybe you've been searching for answers about why this is happening to you now, at this point in your life. Maybe your doctor isn't giving you answers—they may be prescribing more and more antibiotics for bacterial infections or antifungals for yeast infections without addressing the underlying cause. Or, if it's the case of high-risk HPV virus, they're just telling you there's nothing they can do and to come back and see if there are abnormal cells developing.

I know because I'm trained as a primary care provider. I was trained the same way, and I understand that that's what the standard of care is offering right now. I also know, as an alternative or functional medicine practitioner for a couple of decades, that there ARE other options. Let's discuss in today's episode.

I'm here to help you!
