Hormone therapy in menopause, gender-affirming care, and sexual pain disorders! This episode is with OBGYN Dr. Gretchen Frey.  She has a new project out now!  An Introduction to Sexuality Education: A Handbook for Primary Care Providers.  Get it now at https://v3.unhushed.org/ She talks about how she worked as a general OBGYN for many years, then as she transitioned away from OB and focused on clinic GYN she saw a lot of patients in menopause and peri-menopause.  She became comfortable using hormone replacement therapy in that context and then expanded her practice to incorporate hormone therapy in gender-affirming care as well (which she says there is a great need for this type of care in primary care, particularly in Denver where I am at).  She discusses sexual pain disorders such as vulvodynia, dyspareunia, and vaginismus, and why they can be difficult to treat.  She notes that having a multi-specialty team is greatly important for success in this.   Subscribe, rate, review, etc.  Check out past episodes and don't forget to share it with a friend.  Thanks!  Enjoy!

(Woops. It appears that after the intro there is about 35 seconds of silence before the interview begins. That’s my bad. Feel free to skip the silent part, you won’t hurt my feelings.). The script has been flipped!  Dr. Dave Gordon interviews me about my medical school experiences and the journey ahead into family medicine residency at Swedish Medical Center in Colorado and beyond!
