“It’s perfectly normal, you just have to learn to live with it”

“It’s part of the natural process”

“There’s nothing else you can do”

This is what women who are experiencing vaginal dryness most commonly due to menopause, are hearing. I know, because that’s what I have been told, and furthermore, I have been guilty of saying the same.

Many women cannot take estrogen replacement therapy for one reason or another, or they choose not to.

Vaginal dryness affects your intimate relationships, athletic activities, and even daily activities with pain and irritation.

Premenopausal women can experience these symptoms, and often have no answers.

Hyaluronic acid is known as a humectant, which means it is a substance that retains moisture. It works by hydrating the top layer of vaginal skin.

Many of us are familiar with hyaluronic acid because it is used for facial skin, with excellent results.

A review of current studies, and they are limited, seem to agree that hyaluronic acid compares favorably with estrogen therapy. Remember, hyaluronic acid is not a hormone.

Obviously, differences in individual sensitivity and preparations will affect the results obtained.

I would love what you think!

May 1970

Mill Basin, Brooklyn

Picture it: Tall, gawky, hearing impaired 13 year old girl in the back of the school surrounded by teen age girls taunting and shoving….

I was terrified.

Fast forward, four decades later;

No one talks about adult bullying;

it is passive:aggressive

it is insidious

it is there

Sure, there are rules and procedures, but the English language is amazing. All you need for bullying to happen is someone drunk on power and a keen ability to manipulate language.

No one expects the medical profession to stoop that low. However, medical professionals are human, and power is addictive.

I tried to fight it, I tried to live with it, let me tell you the only way to survive it, is to change your environment.

As Judy Sheindlin said,” Never let anyone or anything define your value or limit your dream.”

I am writing this to encourage you that if you feel trapped, belittled, and confined professionally, there is an easier option. Just go….

You will be happier.

You will get on with your life.

I did.
