Issues with bladder leaking and pain with sexual in*******se are not normal. We are here to help and can provide a referral to a pelvic floor physical therapist when it's appropriate. They can help people address symptoms, strengthen, decrease pain, recover from an injury, and manage chronic conditions.
Here our own Ashley Worley, CNM, appears alongside Amanda Haasken, PT, PRPC, who is an excellent pelvic floor physical therapist with LewisGale in Blacksburg.

Recent studies suggest that hormone therapy benefits outweigh the risks for most women in perimenopause and menopause, particularly with forms of hormones available now that include first line bioidentical estrogen and progesterone, which are different than the hormones studied in earlier studies. Your midwife is happy to help you assess the risks and benefits of treatment in perimenopause or menopause for you, in the context of your symptoms and medical history.

Background:
In the 1990s, a large study called the Women’s Health Initiative was undertaken to look at estrogen-progestin therapy, and in 2002 the trial announced that estrogen-progestin therapy was being halted prematurely due to safety concerns, primarily breast cancer rates and stroke rates in some study participants. Prescriptions for menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) went down dramatically, and new physicians and providers like midwives experienced limited education around hormone therapy. The FDA warnings were attached then and have not been removed until now, though further research shows the warnings do not apply to all products equally and can dissuade patients from therapy they may benefit from.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time to honor those who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy or infant. On October 15th, we participated in the Global Wave of Light with our nurse colleagues and families who have experienced loss. We honor you and we hold you in our hearts.
It is normal for posts like these to bring forward complex emotions. We recommend Star Legacy Foundation as a good place to seek support, and you are always welcome to call your midwife here at LewisGale.

Hyperemesis gravidarum in the news!

Our appearance on WDBJ7's Here @ Home this time is dedicated to all of our patients who struggle or have struggled with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a truly life-changing condition where life every day in pregnancy becomes a struggle to get through the day and survive. We see you, and we are dedicated to you.
We midwives understand the seriousness of HG and lead with compassion and high quality guidance from Hyperemesis Education & Research - HER Foundation and our professional organizations to help our patients.
We review the new research on the science behind HG which brings hope to the millions of people that have been affected by this condition - brought to you by a researcher Dr. Marlena Fezjo, who herself had HG in two pregnancies.
