New GSM Guidelines Every Physician Should Know

Описание: In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, I dive into the new clinical guidelines for Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)—because you deserve facts, not fear.

**Link to new guidelines: https://www.auanet.org/guidelines-and...

We cover:
-- Why education around midlife hormonal changes isn’t optional
-- The role of pelvic exams (and how to make them less intimidating)
-- Non-hormonal treatments that actually work
-- Why GSM impacts more than you think—your comfort, intimacy, and overall health

This episode is your call to action. Use these new guidelines to spark real conversations with your healthcare provider—especially if they’re not up to speed.

Your body. Your voice. Your choice.
