Post Partum Vaginal Health: The Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation
In post partum hormonal changes can impact genitourinary health. This presentation is under recognised and rarely supported. Join Moira as she explores The Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation and potential interventions and support.
Did you know that in the post partum period lactating individuals are prone to changes in the tissues and the microbiome of the vagina that are like that seen in menopause?
In this webinar we review what we know about the Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation and what this means in a clinical presentation. We look at the microbiome, UTI risk, vaginal infection risk and how we can consider and support this overlooked presentation in a vulnerable population.
