Who this is for
Anyone in perimenopause, menopause or the years after with vaginal, sexual or urinary symptoms — dryness, soreness, pain during sex, lower desire, leaking, urgency or repeated infections — and especially anyone who has not yet mentioned them to anyone.
How to use it
- Read the chapters that apply. The contents are organized by symptom, so you do not need to read everything.
- Fill in the baseline. It takes about ten minutes and is the page most worth taking to an appointment.
- Use the trackers that fit: a product log, a three-day bladder diary, the twelve-week pelvic-floor tracker, an infection record.
- Before an appointment, use “Words I can use” and the one-page summary. Saying it out loud is often the hardest part; the words are written for you.
What it does not do
- It does not diagnose, and it does not replace an examination.
- It does not tell you which product or treatment to use.
- Nothing in it should be used to start, stop or change a medicine.
The guide asks you to read its “what should not wait” chapter first if you have any bleeding after your periods have stopped, bleeding after sex, a lump in the vagina, or a urinary infection with fever or shivering.
Format
- Digital PDF, to read on screen or print at home
- A4 pages, print-friendly (on US Letter, choose “fit to page”)
- 39 pages
Educational guide and workbook. Not medical advice.
Midlife Atlas guides help you understand, organize and prepare. They do not diagnose, they do not recommend any treatment, and nothing in them should be used to start, stop or change a medicine. If a symptom worries you, speak to a clinician who knows your history.
It is written against published clinical guidance from the NHS and NICE, and each clinical statement names the body it comes from. It has not yet been reviewed by a named clinician.
