Women Over 60: What Really Happens When You Neglect Intimate Self-Care | Gynecologist Explains

Описание: I’m Dr. Lisa Perriera, a board-certified gynecologist with more than 30 years of experience caring for women in their 60s, 70s, and beyond. In this video, I reveal the truth about a part of your health that almost no one talks about: intimate self-care after menopause.
Too often, women are told that intimacy no longer matters after a certain age. But neglecting this part of your body can quietly accelerate aging, weaken circulation, affect hormones, and even diminish your sense of identity. The good news? It is never too late to reconnect with yourself.
In this 20-minute conversation, you will learn:
• Why disuse leads to tissue thinning and dryness.
• How intimacy influences brain chemistry—oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins.
• Why your pelvic floor is the foundation of independence, and how intimacy strengthens it.
• Real patient stories from women who rediscovered joy at 69, 74, even 81 years old.
• Simple, safe, medically backed steps you can start today.
According to trusted sources like the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, and the North American Menopause Society, maintaining gentle connection with your body supports circulation, comfort, and overall well-being.
Watch until the end for an uplifting message that may change how you see yourself. And don’t forget to comment “I’m still here” if you’re ready to reclaim your connection—you may inspire another woman who feels alone.
