Urogenital Health

Vaginal dryness. Discomfort or pain during sex. Recurring UTIs. A sudden urgency that has you mapping bathrooms when you go out. These can be some of the most common symptoms of perimenopause and beyond, and they’re often the ones least likely to come up in a consultation. Many women manage them quietly for years, often unaware that effective treatment may exist. Asking is normal. And unlike hot flushes, this cluster doesn’t always tend to ease on its own. It can progress when it’s left alone.

*Please note the prescribing of medication is at the discretion of your Practitioner.

The symptoms women rarely raise, and the easiest to treat

A My Clinic consultation makes this conversation simple. You don’t need to find the right words or worry about how to bring it up. We ask, plainly, and we work through what’s going on.

Falling oestrogen can affect vaginal and urinary tissue directly. Tissues may become thinner and drier. The vaginal environment can change in ways that may increase the chance of irritation and infection. The urethra and bladder may be similarly affected, which is often why urgency, frequency, and recurrent UTIs can arrive together.

Treatment options are well established and can be effective. Local options may suit cases where systemic ones aren’t appropriate, and many women may see meaningful improvement within weeks. Whether your symptoms are mild and intermittent or affecting daily life and intimacy, a conversation is a sensible first step.

You’re not alone in experiencing these changes, and they can show up in different ways. Some women notice dryness or irritation, others find intimacy less comfortable, and some experience more frequent trips to the bathroom or recurring infections. If any of this is affecting how you feel day to day, it’s worth knowing that there are simple, effective ways to manage these symptoms and feel more like yourself again.

Treatment options vary depending on your individual health history and needs. Any prescribing or treatment recommendations are made at the discretion of your Nurse Practitioner following your consultation.

What's right for you?

Urogenital symptoms can feel personal and difficult to raise, but they are incredibly common — and very much worth addressing. Your Nurse Practitioner will take the time to understand what you’re experiencing and talk through the options that may be suitable for you.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. Depending on your symptoms, history, and preferences, your clinician may discuss local or systemic treatments, lifestyle considerations, or a combination of approaches.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you book. Simply starting the conversation is enough — our clinicians are experienced in this area and here to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body again.

Not sure if you symptons match the condition. Not a problem, one of our clinicians can discuss them with you and help narrow down possible causes and effective treatments. Just book a general health appointment.
