Think you are suffering alone with your vaginal atrophy? Think again!

Halle Belle is sharing her experience when misdiagnosed menopause related vaginal atrophy was first diagnosed as 'the worst case of Herpes'. She is on a mission to shift how we recognise and support women experiencing vulvo-vaginal changes associated with menopause.

With around 50% of menopausal women experiencing changes in their vagina during menopause, today I explore why those changes happen and most importantly, why you too should be inspired to get the medical support you need.

Want to share your experience of pelvic floor support through menopause? I'd love to hear from you! sarahjane@FitFannyAdams.com

With so many sanitary products on the market, we are swept into a mindset that we should 'just get on', regardless of our periods.

In reality, women and girls are still troubled with the hormonal fluctuations in mood, energy, sleep quality ... and the fear of leakage or ability to use and access sanitary products for the sports / activities they're involved in.
