In this episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD is joined by Dr. Karen Tang to explore the intriguing subject of women's sexual health post-menopause and the validity of the “use it or lose it” adage. They dive into the physical changes that can affect the vagina and clitoris without regular sexual activity and the techniques like pelvic physical therapy and vibrators that can help reverse those changes. They also cover the impact of communication on sexual relationships and the various symptoms women experience during their menstrual cycle, such as period poops and butt pain.
