What Does It Mean if You Pee When You Cough, Laugh, Sneeze or Jump in Your 40s or 50s? Why Do Midlife & Senior Women Get Dehydrated So Easily? Plus Martha's Bladder Emergency in a Cockpit

My Aloof Vagina, A Cheeky Guide to Perimenopause

Martha recalls a harrowing incident with a dangerously full bladder in the cockpit of a tiny plane mid flight.
And she and her friends drive themselves to distraction about their over-50 bladder habits & the "easy-peasy" procedure that helped their friend KK with her stress incontinence.
Imaginations run wild with the idea that you could go in for a full tune up!
Get Bulkamid injections, some Botox, a little filler for your nasolabial folds!
Top it all off with the pleasure-boosting O Shot! (...which Martha was thisclose to getting in 2021. Phew!)
KK's procedure: Bulkamid (she says it worked well for her)
Martha's Botox alternative: Frownies (Save 10% with MAV discount link.)
Photos from the fateful cockpit emergency are on Instagram here, including the screenshot of the note she wrote to her colleague. Video from the flight coming soon.
We explore pelvic health more thoroughly and learn more about the aging vagina and the typical path to incontinence later in Season 1 with Dr. Wendy Chorny:

• What Happens to Our Vaginas As We Age & What's Estrogen Got To Do (Got To Do) With It?
• Why Is Pelvic-Floor Health So Important? What Makes Minor Urine Leakage Worsen? Does Peeing When You Sneeze Lead to Bigger Issues?

MAV Tip: Hydrate. We know you hear it everywhere; you already know! But between kidney stones, UTIs, and crepey-looking skin, letting yourself get dehydrated in midlife is just asking for trouble. Hate the taste of water? Add some salt, lemon or cucumber and make it "spa"-gua. Trying drinking 12 oz as soon as you wake up and 12 more 20 minutes later and you'll get ahead for the day.
Thank you for listening!

Take care of yourself. And take care of your vagina!
