Part 2

Beth Lattimer joins me again this week to answer questions about the transformative world of menopause, specifically examining its impact on sexual health and intimacy. We’ll uncover the restorative potential of hormone replacement therapy and how it can reignite libido. Today we explore not just the science, but also the need for open dialogue about female sexuality in midlife. From discussing topical estrogens and collagen benefits to tackling vaginal dryness, we empower you to embrace a sexual renaissance in your menopausal years.

In this episode we discuss

The application of estradiol and progesterone creams in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and whether they can be applied together or separately.
Concerns about clitoral enlargement after receiving hormone pellets, its impact on sexual pleasure, and potential remedies.
Inquiry about using BIEST cream for vaginal dryness and whether applying it to the outer labia yields similar effects without increasing the risk of yeast infections.
Questioning whether vaginal intercourse should be pleasurable, considering a history of ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroid tumors, and adenomyosis, along with experiences of pain and bleeding with an IUD in place.
What are the optimal hormone levels for weight loss and frequency of bloodwork?
Discussion on experiences with different BHRT methods (troches vs. patches) and concerns about elevated estrone levels.
Concerns about increased cholesterol levels post-BHRT initiation and reluctance to take statins.
Recommendations for over-the-counter hormone products to alleviate menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis.
Queries about achieving optimal estradiol to progesterone ratios and ideal dosages for bi-est and progesterone.
