Vaginal Atrophy with Kristina Calligan, FNP
Manage episode 337837453 series 3340579
Before breast cancer, I had no idea there was a long list of conditions that are associated with the disease. Many of us are thrown into medically-induced menopause, while others go through chronological menopause. Either way, we need to be aware of a condition called vaginal atrophy.
Mayo Clinic says, "Vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) is thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur when your body has less estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause. For many women, vaginal atrophy not only makes intercourse painful but also leads to distressing urinary symptoms."
This video will help you determine if you may be fighting vaginal atrophy and give you information to discuss with your personal provider.
