>> ALL RIGHT LADIES, WE ALL HAVE
TO GO TO THE GYNECOLOGIST, BUT
SOMETIMES WE'RE EMBARRASSED TO
ASK THE REAL QUESTIONS.
WE'RE GETTING INTO TOPICS NOT
MEANT FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCE.
THAT BEING SAID, JOINING ME NOW
IS Dr. KEN, I'M EXTREMELY
COMFORTABLE ASKING THESE
QUESTIONS BECAUSE HE'S MY OB-GYN
AND HE DELIVER MIDSON.
WE HAVE NO QUESTIONS BETWEEN US.
THE FIRST QUESTION IS ABOUT
DRYNESS.
IT IS A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF
WOMEN.
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN IN AND HOW
KOON YOU TREAT SIT IN.
>> THERE ARE MULT TILL REASONS
FOR DRYNESS, MOST COMMON IS
MENOPAUSE WHEN THE VAGINA IS
MISSING ESTROGEN AS MANY PARTS
MENOPAUSE.
THE VAGINAL TISSUE DOESN'T LUBE
BRING INDICATE.
OTHER REASONS CAN BE INFECTION.
AND LUBRICATION IS A RESPONSE TO
BEING SEXUALLY AROUSED.
SO IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE
SITUATION.
BUT THE MOST COMMON WILL BE
BECAUSE THE VAGINAL TISSUE IS
MISSING ESTROGEN.
>> Nikki: THAT CAN BE LINKED
BACK TO HORMONES.
>> CORRECT JEN AT WHAT POINT DO
YOU GO TO A DOCTOR FOR THIS?
>> WHEN YOU ASK THE QUESTION,
WHY AM I HAVING THIS?
GO.
ABSOLUTELY.
THAT REQUIRES TREATMENT.
>> AS I HAVE CUP ON MY DESK THAT
SAYS DON'T CONFUSE YOUR GOOGLE
SEARCH WITH MY MEDICAL DEGREE.
MANY PEOPLE WILL GOOGLE AND TRY
TO FIND OUT THE ANSWER, BUT AS
WE ALL FOUND OUT, THAT GOOGLE
WILL GIVE YOU THE WORST OF THE
WORST SO WHEN I FINALLY SEE THE
PARENTS AFTER GOOGLE, THEY'RE
DYING.
JEN OKAY, WELL, THEY THINK
THEY'RE DYING, I GET IT.
>> ANOTHER QUESTION ANOTHER
REALLY POPULAR ONE IS W ALL
ALL OF A SUDDEN DO THEY HAVE
PAIN DURING INTERCOURSE.
>>> WHEN THERE IS DRYNESS IT IS
GOING TO CAUSE PAIN.
MANY DELETE S WOMEN AFTER HAVING
CHILDREN CAN HAVE WHAT WE CAL
VARICOSE VAINS -- VEINS IN THE
PELVIS, YOU CAN IMAGINE THOSE
BLOOD VESSELS FILLED UP IN THE
PELVIS BEING PUSHED AGAINST
DURING INTERCOURSE, AND THAT
COMMON REASONS.
INFECTION.
>> Nikki: THE BLOOD VESSELS
THAT?
>> MOST OFTEN SKIT A SURGICAL
PROCEDURE TO WHEN IT GETS TO THE
POINT WHERE IT IS UNBEARABLE.
>> AND AGAIN, YOU SHOULD COME
AND SEE THE DOCTOR IF YOU'RE
HAVING THAT.
>>> CORRECT.
>> Nikki: ANOTHER QUESTION,
ODOR.
THIS COULD BE CAUSED FROM A
WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT
REASONS.
AND MOST COMMON REASON FOR ODOR
WOULD BE AN IMBALANCE OF
BACTERIA IN THE VAGINA.
CERTAIN BACTERIA THAT LIVE IN
HARM ANY IN THE VAGINAL TISSUE,
IF WOMEN DIDN'T HAVE BACTERIA
AND YEAST IN THEIR VAGINA AND
IMBALANCE, THEN THEY WOULD
REALLY HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT WHAT
HAPPENS IS WHEN THAT BACTERIA
OVERGROWS, IT BREAKS DOWN, GIVES
OFF A FISHY OR ODOR.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SEE
OFTEN IN THE OFFICE, AND
FOR THAT.
EMBARRASSED TO COME IN BECAUSE
