    Menopause is an inevitable transition in every woman’s life, but what if engaging in a basic physiological need like sex could delay its onset? Researching this potential connection is Megan Arnot, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University College London. As the lead author of the study, she walks us through her findings and the range of factors they investigated, like the type of sexual activity and whether or not women lived with a partner.

  An average of 37.5 million menopausal women in the US between the ages of 45 and 64 experience symptoms such as hot flashes and joint pain, but there are other symptoms that we rarely talk about: symptoms like vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. Featuring a patient and a panel of experts, this discussion reviews strategies that can be used to help patients feel comfortable in bringing up their struggles with menopause along with how we can help relieve women from their pain. ©2019 NP-INR-US-00214 09/19

Male Hypogonadism: More Than Just Low Testosterone

  The underdiagnosis and undermanagement of hypoactive sexual desire disorder is in large part due to clinicians’ reluctance to raise issues of sexual health and functioning in their female patients, in addition to a lack of awareness of diagnostic screeners available and evolving therapeutic approaches.  To help close these gaps in care, this discussion will identify the symptoms of HSDD and the barriers clinicians face that inhibit the appropriate diagnosis and management of this condition. The faculty will also identify the screening tools that allow for accurate diagnosis of HSDD as well as the therapeutic modalities currently available and under clinical development to manage HSDD, including their benefits and potential side effects.
