What listeners will find here

A practical pelvic-floor toolkit for menopause, dryness, leaks, and painful sex
Pelvic floor health and genitourinary syndrome of menopause are the focus here, with concrete steps for leaks, dryness, painful sex, and everyday habits that make symptoms worse. Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Sara Reardon dig into support devices, muscle training, bathroom habits, and why improvement is possible at any age.
Can estrogen ever be an option after breast cancer? This episode tackles the dogma
Hormone therapy after breast cancer is the focus as Dr. Mary Claire Haver talks with breast oncologist Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky. They examine who may or may not be a candidate for hormones, why estrogen does not cause breast cancer, and what newer guidance says about options like vaginal estrogen, DHEA, and testosterone.
