Why So Many Uninformed Hysterectomies in Midlife? How Did YOU Know You Were in Perimenopause? What Was Your First Menopause Symptom? What’s the Deal with Younger Guys Hitting on Older Women? Ladies Only NSFM

My Aloof Vagina, A Cheeky Guide to Perimenopause

Warning: NSFM* What it’s like to wait for “the menopause symptoms” to show up & then have your “big sign” be your period shifting a little at 55 and just *poof* ending in a span of less than 3 months?

Oh. AND mood swings? JUST crazy mood swings!

And what ABOUT those periods? What drastic intervention are some doctors offering as a “solution” to heavy periods in our 40s or early 50s?
It’s upsetting, but it’s something you should know.
In this NSFM* ladies-only episode, Martha & Stacy talk about unnecessary hysterectomies, the canaries in the coal mine that tip you off that you’re in perimenopause, and flooding periods.

And finally - what’s a surefire way to make 30-year-old guys realize you’re more than old enough to be their mom?
And will that stop them from hitting on you?
Get the answers to these questions on this episode with Martha and Stacy.
* Are you one of my male listeners? This episode is marked NSFM (NOT suitable for men) due to menstruation stories you DEFINITELY don’t want to hear. 😂 Instead, please listen to one of my other “sexier” less-likely-to-traumatize-you episodes, like the one right before this focused on Happy Endings. You’re welcome!

MAV Tip: Get a second opinion if a hysterectomy is suggested and a) you're not already seeking it for your own reasons and b) there isn't a pathology or serious issue that makes removing your uterus urgent. A lot of the perimenopausal conditions that lead to "unnecessary"* hysterectomies can be handled pretty effectively with HRT, natural remedies, and other treatments like ablation.

Take care of yourself. And take care of your vagina!
