In this episode, I and Mrs Muoka  have a deep dive into women's health, focusing on menstrual and pelvic floor changes during perimenopause and menopause. Mrs. Muoka, a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist, explains the variability of menstrual patterns in midlife, including heavy menstrual bleeding. 

The emphasis is on the importance of understanding one's body, recognizing abnormal bleeding, and seeking medical advice. Treatment options, both hormonal and non-hormonal, are explored.
