Summary

Women’s sexuality, especially older women’s, is often overlooked or dismissed by the medical system. When men get procedures that may impact their erections, they’re informed. When women get treatments that may affect their ability to have an orgasm? Crickets. Too few women’s doctors talk about women’s sexual satisfaction, including how well their clitoris is responding or if they’re having orgasms. That’s got to change. It’s normal to want to be sexual and experience sexual pleasure throughout your life. We don’t question it for men. We shouldn’t for women either. This week we dig into all of that and more (including how it’s high time to change how menopause itself is defined) with sexual medicine and menopause expert Dr. Lauren Streicher.

Lauren Streicher, MD is a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, the founding medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause, and the current Medical Advisor at Midi Health Care. She is a certified menopause practitioner of The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS), the host of Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast, and the author of four best-selling books on women’s health, as well as the upcoming title, Put the O Back in Mojo, available for pre-order now.

0:48.1	libido, and orgasm.
0:49.9	We actually have a bit of a two-part conversation here this week because Lauren is also the
0:56.1	author of a provocative editorial in a recent edition of the journal Menopause that was titled,
1:03.0	Is It Time to Rethink How Menopause is Defined?
1:06.3	And in that editorial, she brings up a lot of issues that I have wondered about over the past few years,
1:12.3	and that I hear women wrestling with every day. Like, how do I know if I'm in menopause if I don't
1:19.5	get periods because of surgery or ablation or IUD use or birth control pills? You name it.
1:25.8	How do you know where you are in the paring menopausal
1:27.8	process with all of that? She makes a really good argument that the definition is outdated,
1:33.7	and for research sake alone, if nothing else, we really need to rethink it. So I really enjoyed
1:40.1	that part of the conversation and then we just kind of take a hard pivot and we get into
1:44.6	her new book on orgasm in postmenopause, which is important and terribly overlooked because
1:51.9	as her recent survey that she did in conjunction with Cosmo shows, women in postmenopause,
1:58.6	shock, shock, shock, are still interested in having sex and orgasms.
