Breastfeeding and Menopause are Similar

Jan 3, 2022

Yup that’s right.

There are a LOT of parallels between breastfeeding and menopause.

Both times in a females life are hallmarked but estrogen deficiency.

What this means is that some of the common complaints we see in breastfeeding, we also see in menopause. Things such as:
🙈V@g1nal dryness
🙈 Pain with $3x
🙈 An increase in pelvic floor dysfunctions
🙈Accelerated bone mineral density loss

Therefore there is a LOT we can do to help the postmenopausal female and yet there isn’t as much attention being paid to this space.

In today’s episode, Christina_prevett talks about these similarities, talks about how we can help and gives a call to action for our clinicians ❤️
