As part of Perimenopause Awareness Month, we hosted a powerful workshop, “Get Your Vagina Perimenopause-Proof,” featuring renowned experts Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Sara Reardon. Together, they delivered essential information on vaginal health during perimenopause, focusing on topics rarely discussed openly but critical to women’s well-being. Here’s a recap of the invaluable insights shared:

• The Power of Vaginal Estrogen: Dr. Casperson gave a comprehensive overview of vaginal estrogen, explaining how it can effectively support vaginal health by alleviating dryness, discomfort, and other symptoms often linked to perimenopause. Attendees learned how this localized option works, its safety, and the benefits it brings for long-term comfort and quality of life.

• Preventative Care for Perimenopause: We discussed practical ways to take charge of vaginal health during this transition, empowering women with preventative tips that are often overlooked. Dr. Casperson highlighted steps to integrate into daily routines, providing knowledge to help women feel more in control and proactive.

• Pelvic Floor Health & Perimenopause: Dr. Reardon, an expert in pelvic health, shared key exercises and techniques to strengthen the pelvic floor, protect against discomfort, and boost overall wellness. These exercises, she explained, can help ease symptoms and improve quality of life as women move through perimenopause.

• Intimacy & Sexual Health: Our speakers broke down common taboos surrounding sexual health in perimenopause, offering candid advice on intimacy and answering audience questions. Dr. Casperson and Dr. Reardon provided guidance on how women can prioritize comfort, confidence, and connection.

This empowering event brought together women committed to learning more about their bodies and creating a supportive space for perimenopause-related discussions. We are grateful to Dr. Casperson and Dr. Reardon for sharing their expertise during Perimenopause Awareness Month and to all who attended, helping us raise awareness and equip women with the tools they need for a healthier, more comfortable journey through perimenopause.
