In this episode, Andrea Martin, a women’s health nurse practitioner helps us to take the sexual health chat to the next level.

Why you really need to know about clitoral adhesions, these are like scar tissue that forms around the clitoris. Our host Dani had never heard of this before and we have spoken a lot about sexual health on our episodes here!

We also talk about medical options to help with low libido. YES they exist! We had no idea! Options available like Flibanserin (Addyi), Bremelanotide (Vyleesi), Testosterone and even trying erectile dysfunction meds for the clitoris. 

Andrea Martin is a women’s health nurse practitioner, sexual health educator and is trained in gynaecology, urogynaecology, menopause, chronic pelvic pain and sexual medicine.

About Dani:

The Menopause and Cancer Podcast is hosted by Dani Binnington, menopause guide, patients advocate for people in menopause after a cancer diagnosis, and founder of the online platform Healthy Whole Me. 

There is lots of information out there about the menopause but hardly any if you have had a cancer diagnosis as well. Many people say to me they have no idea what their options are, who to ask for help, and that they feel really isolated in their experiences. 

I started this podcast because there was nothing out there when I was thrown into surgical menopause at the age of 39, which followed on from my cancer diagnosis aged 33.

Through the episodes, I want to create more awareness, share information from our fabulous guest experts, doctors and other specialists in the cancer and menopause field. 

And of course, I will share stories from the people in our community.

So that together we can work towards a better menopause experience. For all of us.

More educated, better informed and less alone.
