I’ve never been in a girl gang. Can I start one?
I talk about vaginas+vulvas + how they’re affected by low oestrogen. I suffer with vaginal atrophy as part of my menopause.

The misogyny on social media is incredible.
An acct on Insta asked ‘What's a quote about the realities of women that's stayed with you?’.
I responded with: ‘We are half the global population - and we birthed ALL OF THEM.’ 🧵👇

If you’re starting with vulval oestrogen, it can sometimes burn/sting delicate tissues.
With untreated vaginal/vulval atrophy, the vulva can be sensitive due to dryness and micro tears.
Your vulva will recover with treatment but if using topical oestrogen is uncomfortable

Was just asked why so little info is available on vaginal/vulval atrophy…
It’s because we’re taught to NOT discuss our vaginas/vulvas openly.
The thing is, VVA can be life limiting - you know those stories of older women dying of sepsis due to a UTI?

I know we’re moving forward slowly, but my heart aches when I think of the missed opportunities to help half the population. You’d think we were a minority!!! What do you think?

They've weaponized the outrage cycle rather effectively, haven't they.
#Muskrat's Hitler salute will be several cycles off the consciousness and we'll all be frothing at the next hundred big outrages in a matter of days.

If you’re just starting to use vaginal oestrogen tablets (Vagifem, Vagirux, Gina) here are some tips:
🌸. you don’t need to fully insert the applicator - halfway is fine
🌺 use a blob of lube (@yes_organics is great!) at entrance to your vagina, to help inserted tablet stay put

Checking in at Breast Cancer Care Centre today + was asked to wear facemask. Happy to in an environment that takes care of immunocompromised people (including me) due to radio/chemo therapy.
3 people in area declined, or didn’t bother.
Wish I’d said something but I was stressed.

My 2nd lumpectomy was May ‘24 + last radiotherapy treatment was Oct ‘24.
In the last few weeks, my treated breast has become swollen/very tender, especially in areola area, feels firmer + always warm to the touch (in comparison to my non-treated breast). It’s now waking me up at night with pain /1

Vaginal atrophy.
Yes, your clitoris can shrink.
Your labia minora can be re-absorbed.
The entrance to your vagina can narrow.
Your vulval/vaginal tissues can become thinner and easily damaged.
It’s all TREATABLE!!!

Watching a fascinating documentary on counterfeit weight loss drugs. The proposed head of the FDA runs a telemedicine company that sells compounded GLP-1s even though no generic actually exists.
