We are going to milk the heck out of this, and I love it.
Irritability, very common one. One that I was going to ask you about is brain fog and depression. This is one where I think this is a very unique one because it's one that gets easily dismissed as something unrelated. Say more about those.
My reading of that was estrogen is so important in the brain that it has to upregulate the receptors as the estrogen level goes down and down and down.
In other words, it's a lot like the way the brain is treated for glucose. The body will, if you are fasting, the muscles will within days become completely insulin resistant. It's their way of saying every molecule of glucose that that liver spits out better not go into the muscle. It better go to the brain. And so you look like you have diabetes in an effort to save glucose for the brain.
And I think that's what's happening with estrogen.
The volatility of hormone gets less, yeah.
The other one that we didn't talk about was the urinary symptoms. So both urinary incontinence and then the higher prevalence of UTIs. You've alluded to it a little bit, but just maybe finish the swing on that.
I don't even understand what that means.
I totally missed that.
I love that analogy. So you're saying if by the time a man became 50, his penis became a shriveled up useless organ, you're saying that the medical system would have probably done something about this?
You might be onto something, Rachel.
And that was with topical estriol.
Interesting.
I was not aware of that. And yet there is no FDA-approved estriol formulation despite that fact?
Just say that again, please, because I know there are people... that are in the Medicare system who are going to be interested to understand that?
I mean, again, I always try to come up with the steel man and say, is it that they don't care or is it that they're unaware or is it that they feel that it just needs to fall on the shoulders of somebody other than themselves?
Okay, let me push back. Not because I don't agree with you, but I'm just going to put my hat on that says the opposite. So maybe I am too attuned to this, but I feel like there is nothing more talked about right now. I mean, look at what Halle Berry is doing. Look what Oprah is doing. Look what Gwyneth is doing.
I mean, there are so many very powerful, very influential women that are talking about this. Is this not in the zeitgeist right now?
So you're saying there's not enough physicians talking about this.
If it really comes down to prescription.
