    Menopause Confessions with Laura Dowling : Vulval Health, Hormones and Midlife Truths

    If you’ve ever thought “Is this normal?” or “why didn’t anyone tell me this before” during perimenopause or menopause, this episode is for you. Lisa sits down with pharmacist, author, and women’s health advocate Laura Dowling — aka The Fabulous Pharmacist — foran honest, empowering conversation about vulval health, hormones and midlife changes. From perimenopause onwards, so many women experience dryness, irritation, recurrent UTIs, pain during sex, ordiscomfort — and are told it’s “just ageing” or something they should quietly put up with. Laura is on a mission to change that. Drawing on her years behind the pharmacy counter and her bestselling book Love Your Vulva, Laura shares what women are too embarrassed to ask their GP. Together, Lisa and Laura explore: · Why vulval and vaginal health is a lifelong conversation, not a menopause problem · Early signs of hormonal change women shouldn’t ignore in perimenopause · Why thrush, UTIs, and pain can suddenly appear — even if you’ve never had issues before · Game changing treatment options so you don’t have to suffer · Why pain, discomfort, and loss of confidence are not inevitable in midlife and beyond This episode is about knowledge, reclaiming confidence, and agency — and understanding that caring for your vulva is not indulgent, awkward, or vain. It’s crucial to your overall health.
