And Fiona shares information on her recent study into the efficacy of vaginal laser therapy treatments which claim to reduce negative vaginal symptoms of menopause as experienced by about half of all women.In our fun and fast-paced conversation we discuss:the need for more informed clinicians and how healthcare practitioners can help women make sense of research and treatments. the potential for new innovations when it comes to treating menopause symptoms and emphasizes the importance of ethical, evidence-based treatments. the critical role of researchers in making this information more accessibleand how Fiona's perspective as a young medical professional offers hope for the future of menopause management.ResourcesGRACE team websiteEmail for research opportunities: graceresearch@unsw.edu.auHow To Fail with Elizabeth Day - podcastOther episodes you may enjoyDr Ardelle Piper: Vulvas, vaginas and so much more!Thank you for listening to my show!
