You can do, there's companies now offering vaginal microbiome testing so you can get an idea of the presence and the abundance of lactobacillus and see if that's something that you would want to address. But I wouldn't want to just send somebody and just, you know, just throw darts at the wall and hope something's going to help. You want to go through and make the lifestyle changes first.

Yeah, and I look at people, I have people pay attention to their menstrual cycle as well if they're having one. So that's another worry with that population. they may lose their menstrual cycle. But if somebody is cycling and if they notice that they have certain symptoms, they feel more urgency, they feel more frequency, they feel a sense of heaviness.

Now, the uterus itself is more, is fuller, is heavier. It will be managing a greater load just before our menstrual cycle. But that doesn't mean that everybody should feel like they have an urgent need to pee or that they have heaviness and pressure. But people with pelvic floor challenges usually say the week or the days just before my period, things are worse.

And that is that declining and low estrogen state. And that's sort of mimicking and giving us a glimpse into menopause where we are unfortunately not going to rise back up like we do when we're cycling and get back to a high estrogen state. We will be forever in that low estrogen state. And that's where the role of vaginal estrogen plays.

Yeah, that is. I haven't seen a lot of that in my community. There hasn't been a lot of people talking about that. Not something that comes up very often, but I do know that that is absolutely something that can happen. And infection can be passed back and forth between partners as well. And if one person's being treated, then the other partner should be treated as well for something.

And also from an estrogen piece, a lot of people say, well, is it okay for me to pass my estrogen to my partner? And I always say, put your estrogen in and on, on your vulva, in your vagina. Like after all the activity has happened just before you go to bed, not that it's dangerous for your partner, but you want it. You want it for yourself. You don't want it to be rubbing off on your partner.

And so with vaginal estrogen, it's so low dose. It's not like little to none is absorbed systemically and the same would go for your partner as well. And so it's not from a safety perspective. We want the benefits of the estrogen. So keep it for yourself.
