Hey friends, it's Kelly. Thanks so much for listening today. We are going to do sex and menopause, which, like, embarrassingly, I have not given a lot of lectures on sex and menopause, which this is just such a huge topic.

So check out winkwinkboutique.com if you want to actually see me in the slides. I also posted it on the You Aren't Broken Facebook page. You can get it there.

So if you guys want to look at my face and my slides instead of just listen to me, that would be, that'd be fine too. But thank you so much for listening and supporting this podcast. It means the world.

I'll keep putting out the content that you guys want to listen to. So much love and without further ado, sex and menopause.

Welcome to You Are Not Broken, the only podcast that combines science, medicine, and psychology

to re-educate your brain and help you live your best love life.

And I'm your host, Ford Certified Female Urologist, Dr. Casperson.

I'm here to talk about sex and menopause, which is, I was just talking to Jen before I came

on live, such an underrepresented population, which is ridiculous, given that it's a huge,

huge population.

So why me?

Why do I get to talk about sex and menopause?

So tears led the way.

For me, I had a patient

who was very post-menopause a couple of years ago tip off my interest in sex med and wondering

why women weren't being served like the men were. Viagra came out in approximately 1998,

and there's still no FDA-approved medication for libido for postmenopausal

women. We can get into that a little bit if you want to. So I deep dove, and now I know a lot.

And in doing that, menopause is a huge interest, too, because it's just another thing where it's like if

testicles fell off at age 50 there'd be a vaccine. If penis is shriveled up at age 50, there'd be

like transplants. So the sexual disparities really got to me and I think that's why I'm so

passionate about it because I'm like, how can this be 50% of the population and women don't know? And we always joke in urology.
