S1 Ep65: Crazy Products and Menopause Myths
The annual meeting of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, otherwise known as ISSWSH, is a medical conference where sexual medicine and menopause experts gather to present research and educate other health care professionals. At this year’s meeting, I decided to grab some of those world-renowned EXPERTS on the fly and ask them the following 4 questions:
- “Of all of the RIDICULOUS PRODUCTS that are being sold to treat sexual function, menopause symptoms or bladder control, what is at the top of your list as something that just needs to go away?”
- “What is the most common MYTH you hear again and again when it comes to HORMONE THERAPY
- “If given the opportunity to educate a room full of men about SEXUALLY PLEASING a female partner, what is the one thing, as a sexual medicine expert, you would tell them?”
- “You are often asked to give a lecture to a room full of primary care clinicians, who generally know next to nothing about sexual medicine and menopause. If you only had time to address ONE TOPIC, what would that be?”
