Under The Midlife Hood

EP 56: Um…Do you ever feel like your midlife “check engine” light is on? Your VJ, all its parts & your libido are in need of a tune up? Do you experience pain or discomfort during sex? Do you dread it? Are you an empty nester with more free time for pleasure (lol), but perimenopause or menopause is making it difficult? Your spouse thinks maybe you should take up pole dancing and you just want to crawl into bed with your ugly pj’s on? Do you feel you can’t reach the same satisfaction you did before midlife? Don’t give up! 

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an open and honest conversation called, “Under The Midlife Hood.” My guest, Dr. Jill Krapf, is a Board-Certified OB/GYN who specializes in female sexual pain, including vulvodynia, overactive pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and vulvar lichen sclerosus. We discuss understanding vaginal pain and learning that it does not have to become our new normal. Jill teaches us not to settle for less when it comes to comfort and pleasure in midlife sexual and vaginal health. Jill also explains the importance of knowing our bodies, doing our research on vaginal products and finding a specialist if your needs are not met by your regular gynecologist. There are vulvar specialists just like her, if you can’t make it to Washington D.C.  Midlife is a time where we should focus on our health & happiness…and that includes in the bedroom! Use it or lose it baby!

Some Highlights: 

• How to decrease pain & increase pleasure
• Pain & discomfort are not your new normal
• The importance of knowing your body inside & out
• Picking products carefully
• Do not “just deal with it” in midlife
• Help is out there, try a specialist!

Looking forward to connecting with you! Here are some ways to connect with me!
