I started taking Probiotics and my recurring UTI stopped. I take one capsule of Florejen (digestion) (it must be refrigerated) plus one tablet of Nature's Bounty Acidohilus Probiotic every day. My UTI stopped completely. I went from one UTI every two months to zero UTI in over a year. I hope this helps somebody out there who is suffering from recurring UTIs.

I m so glad finally that women's issues are being talked about, but it is still not main stream if you go to our local gp, and I am still frustrated, how I was not taken seriously.. I am 63, had a urinary tract infection that {I have had them before the past} that simply couldn't nip it in the bud and went through many months of different antibiotic treatment that made me sicker and sicker. Finally coming out of this, I realised that there is not enough information about female problems. Its time that we women are taken seriously in main stream medication. Its like it doesn't exist. Or in my case, you are old just deal with it.

Menopause has been devastating for me ! Atrophy, bladder loss, memory issues , brain fog and more. I started hormone creams and hope it helps but my bladder still needs surgery. It’s awful!

The healthcare trend I’ve seen is elderly women admitted to nursing homes with dementia sped up from chronic silent UTIs (sepsis) that happen from bladder decline in the post menopause. This must be co$ting hundreds of millions of dollars for the healthcare system. Plus families don’t have their grandmothers with them anymore, mentally or physically. Tragic and heartbreaking. 💔Mr System needs to ‘do better’ with education, prevention and early intervention.

I find twice a week simply not enough I need it daily

I'm convince the more antibiotics they give to women, the more women suffer from UTI. My UTI was only cured when I started taking probiotics. Now I'm taking Florejen (digestion) every other day (basically 3 times per week) and on top of that, the cheapest probiotic I can find (3 times per week). Florejen used to be $23 and must be refrigerated. Now a bottle of 60 capsules is $32. That's why I take only one capsule every other day and it works for me. I have not had UTI's for the last 6-7 years. I'm so thankful. I also don't get as many colds or flus. I'm not sure what is in the probiotic, but it sure works for me.

Very clear concise & informative video,loved the calm presentation 🌻

I’m glad I stumbled upon your videos! I’m suffering from a bad problem, and am glad to see the products you have mentioned don’t have sodium benzoate, a known allergen. I can’t believe how bad the dryness /atrophy has become, but I have to admit there’s a benefit to that, I now don’t like sensation of anything different. I’ll have to get used to that though, I need to fix this problem. Intercourse has been impossible for several years

I'm so glad your on here talking about menopause I'm 32 years old I had a hysterectomy now I'm in menopause no body ever talks about menopause at the doctor's office so I had very little knowledge of menopause and what was about to happen I'm currently on the patch it's working good

Thank you so much Louise for giving your expertise on this subject. I experienced an ovarian mass and had my ovaries and fellopian tubes removed (already had total hysterectomy in 2009). Within days, I went into a full blown menopause. Hot sweats, insomnia, anxiety, poor short term memory and vaginal dryness (discomfort, irritation etc), just awful. My female GP prescribed 1mg HRT (Estradiol) and Vagifem but still experienced Vaginal discomfort. GP recommended Replens but after 5 doses over 15 days, I had a burning sensation that lasted 3 days. Through listening to yourself, Davina and Liz Earle, I discovered Sylk for everyday use which has really helped and I am sooo grateful. I do wonder if Vagifem still works after hysterectomy as I assume the top of the vagina is sewn up? I asked my pharmacist is my HRT was body identical and he said, he'd never heard of it!?

Hi Julie, you can find all the information over on Dr Newson's website www.menopausedoctor.co.uk/ - there is a huge amount of free resources over there including booklets, fact sheets and podcasts. Best wishes.

I’m 34 and I’ve had all of these symptoms since my 20’s

This may be something you don't know. I learned this on my own but it is verified by studies. OTC pain relievers like Aleve (naproxyn) and ibuprofen block estrogen receptors. So if you are already in stable menopause with a small amount of estrogen helping keeping you in balance - and then you take these simple pain relievers it will reduce even that small amount to nearly nothing. And you don't know it is happening. You may have more insomnia than usual. You may wake up feeling sad and depressed. But if you know your own estrogen levels well you can see that taking these drugs for a period of time brings back those symptoms - deep itch, vaginal burning/dryness, vaginal discharge. I am bringing this up because no one could have taught me this I had to learn it by myself. And the doctors have NO idea it is happening. Many women might not have realized that their vaginal and menopausal symptoms began after a short period of taking pain relievers.

Is acid and digestion problems worse during menopause? Ive started having acid and heartburn started HRT a year ago and having acid reflux heartburn again regularly

I had almost all the symptoms listed and yet all my Dr did was give me urinary incontinence meds which has a risk of dementia! After I pushed the issue of urinary issues, painful sex and so on and concern of the meds I’ve now just been given oestrogen cream but told it may help pain during intercourse but won’t assist my urinary issues. Seems most medical pro’s don’t know what they’re on about. Thank you for the good advice. I didn’t even know I had vaginal dryness until I had my smear and it was beyond painful. My GP hadn’t even checked me out almost a year earlier.

Always so helpful! Thank you so very much. You may want to discuss the need for fresh veg, lowering sugars (carbs in all forms including alcohol) and probiotics to help adjust Ph. Also what is over the counter for these recurrent issues (UTI, vaginitis, thrush, diaper rash et all) so women can get some much needed relief quickly.

I’m hoping to find a safer alternative given my history with breast cancer. Oncologist are not fans of HRT for their oncology patients. Not sure why you mentioned it’s safe to take when in low doses.

In addition to the vaginal moisturizers you mentioned, I found one locally, “Good Clean Love Restore Moisturizing Vaginal Gel, pH-Balanced, Water-Based with Aloe Vera & Lactic Acid, Reduces Dryness, Discomfort & Odor for Women.” Would it be as safe as the Yes brand and others that you’ve mentioned? Thank you, thank you!!

Being natural is best because of side effects with medication

I just wanted to say, Thank you. It has taken 2 years to gather information and that came from YT. My symptoms dryness, lack of clitoral sensation and pain were overlooked or normal. I am in my fiftys, post menopausal, and had partial hysterectomy. When I speak about trying to have a sex life, it’s almost frowned upon. I was just prescribed Yunafem for twice a week for the dryness. My question is will this help with dryness and sensation? Or do I need to accept not having a sex life?

Prob need to add some of those products she mentioned too that help with the dryness. The ones you can put up inside with an applicator.

I fine the Estriol cream better than the pessaries. I have asked for HRT patches but the doctor only given me 25 mg the information with the patches says I should be on 50mg to help with osteoporosis but the doctor wants me to stay on 25gm. I was take off 20 yrs ago because of cancer scare. I had a hysterectomy I shouldn’t have been taken off. I got really fat round the middle. It’s so upsetting the way I’ve been treated 😱🙏😩🙏

Why do women I'm with, that say they experienced dryness, find the dryness disappears? Does experiencing sexual pleasure have an effect on dryness?

Very helpful

@Hute Rasford oh ok never heard of this I’m in Australia though

In Canada, we don’t have many gynecologists who are educated in hormones and menopause. It’s so difficult to get help, because every doctor is afraid of hormones, and they don’t want to re-educated themselves about hormones so they can actually help their patients.

Very informative as always. Thank you.

I have a chemical sensitivity and I am suffering with bad vaginal dryness , but every personal lubercant I tried , I had a bad reaction to . There was only one I could use and now they back ordered it and I can’t get it any where . Help , this is driving me crazy … I can’t stand it … 😥. I burn and itch so badly …. I even tried Alo Cadabra. And that burned and caused irritation not to mention the reaction I had to it through out my body … 😥😥😥

Thanks for your video on this subject

I keep getting these AWFUL AWFUL boils on the front of my vagina - dr days it’s because even the hair follical dries up - recently started estrogel and loving it - perhaps the estrogen you insert into the vagina would help ?

Yes VM used internally burns me! It contains aloe vera, which can be irritating to many, especially on the very fragile mucous membranes of the vaginal tract. I used it repeatedly and just couldn’t tolerate it. Is Sylk available for purchase in the US? I thought it was a lubricant, not a vaginal moisturizer.

Question tho what if none of the treatments actually works than what can we do

Thank you for the explenations about menopauze.

Hi Marcia, you might find it helpful to take a look at Dr Newson's website www.menopausedoctor.co.uk, it contains a huge amount of free evidence-based, up-to-the-minute advice and information and you can search for specific topics. You might also benefit from speaking to a doctor that specialises in the menopause. Best wishes.
