More menopause vagina stuff with Dr Burt Webb

Dr Burt Webb is an Arizona-based ob-gyn and intimate wellness specialist with a holistic approach to women’s health. (He also represents the non-invasive soundwave treatment Cliovana, which we discuss in part 2 of this podcast.)

This week he gets into all the different treatments, hormone therapy and otherwise – that he uses for the entire pelvic region. With almost 30 years in practice treating women, he is one of the most switched-on mainstream practitioners to appear on the podcast. 

This is a fascinating conversation and the second in our first-ever two-part episode. Don’t forget to listen back to last week, when we talked all about why he believes a dry vagina isn’t always just a dry vagina due to menopause. And how to tackle the issue systemically.
