Perimenopause and menopause

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by for a powerful conversation about genital urinary syndrome, a condition that affects most women but is still rarely talked about.

Penny shares her experience of living with severe symptoms for more than 14 years before realising they were linked to perimenopause, and the frustration of not being offered the right treatment.

Together, they explore why these symptoms are so often missed, how they can worsen without treatment, and why simple, low-dose hormones can be life-changing. Now passionate about raising awareness, Penny is helping ensure other women donโ€™t go through the same experience.
