DONT SUFFER IN SILENCE!
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is common, under-diagnosed, and very treatable.
Symptoms can include:
• Vaginal dryness or burning
• Pain with s*x
• Recurrent UTIs
• Urinary urgency or irritation
These changes happen because oestrogen levels fall, affecting the vaginal and urinary tissues — making them thinner, drier, and more sensitive.
💡 One of the most effective treatments?
👉 Vaginal oestrogen
Unlike systemic HRT, vaginal oestrogen is low-dose and works locally, helping to:
✔ Restore tissue health
✔ Improve comfort and lubrication
✔ Reduce UTIs
✔ Make s*x comfortable again
And yes - for most women, it’s safe, effective, and can be used long-term (even if you’re not on HRT).
If you’ve been told to “just use lubricant” or “put up with it” you deserve better information.
✨ Menopause care should include vaginal health.
