Hey guys, it's Dr. Kasperson coming to you from Washington State for the You Are Not Broken podcast.

This is the definitive podcast for women and their partners on living your best love life using mind and body science.

A disclaimer before we get started, this is not to be taken as personal medical advice.

Please consult your primary care physician or urologist or specialist of choice for your own

personal needs.

But this is meant to be a combination of both facts looking at research and data and also expert

opinion on women's health and sexuality.

So if you like this, if you want me to keep going, leave me a review.

It's my oxygen.

It literally lets me know there's anybody out there listening to me and thinking this is useful.

The other cool thing that people have started doing is you can leave a voice file.

If you go to Anchor, which is where my podcast is hosted, you can actually send me a voice message,

which is really cool because I get to hear the sound of your voice

and the questions that you have. So that's like double oxygen, which is super cool. But if you leave

a review on iTunes, it lets other people know that this podcast is useful and is a good sound

resource for science and knowledge. So today we are going to talk about the menopause symptom

I had a woman come up and asked me, what does vaginal dryness feel like other than dry? Is it a burning?

I asked because for the past six months I've been experiencing burning during and following intercourse.

Loop makes it tolerable during the event, but I hurt for days following. So I want to talk about the menopause symptoms that people do not talk about.

So if you talk about menopause, the average person thinks about hot flashes, which is a really

common what we call vasomotor symptom of menopause.
