Menopause pelvic health in Australia in McDowall

What this view shows
Vetted, menopause-informed providers who help with pelvic health through perimenopause and menopause, including pelvic floor weakness, bladder leakage and urgency, prolapse, and the vaginal dryness, discomfort, and recurrent urinary symptoms that come under genitourinary syndrome of menopause. These are common, they are treatable, and you do not have to put up with them.

• If you are leaking with coughing, laughing, or exercise, or rushing to the toilet, targeted help makes a real difference.
• If you have vaginal dryness, discomfort, or pain with sex, effective treatments are available through a clinician.
• If you feel heaviness or a bulge, or anything that worries you, see a clinician to have it assessed.

Who can help: a pelvic floor physiotherapist for assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor, a menopause-informed GP as a first point of contact, and a gynaecologist or women’s health clinic for the medical and surgical end of care.
