I’m worried about what’s coming with menopause. Any advice/guidance?

Thanks for sharing! I really never had any symptoms and couldn’t get my doctor to even talk about it with me. She just kept telling me it was too early for me to be in menopause at 50. But she never took into consideration that I had an ovary removed and I think that may have started things earlier. I have not done anything - no HRT or meds - but now that I am reading these posts it upsets me! I have had a few UTIs and am experiencing incontinence - probably from prolapse but am trying exercise to avoid surgery. So glad you have researched to help yourself!! Good Luck!!

If you have bladder prolapse, try a pessary. It works for me (I started before any incontinence began). I pop it in every morning and pop it out every night. I hope to avoid surgery "forever." Giving that part of your body time without a pessary helps with this goal.

Many doctors focus on surgery. Find a doctor that advocates its use or a medical practice that has a dedicated person administering to patients that use pessaries.
