Maybe I was naïve. We ran into some issues with the launch of MiddlesexMD.com earlier this year: We couldn’t advertise on a popular social networking site. An article we submitted was rejected because of subject matter. We were “ineligible” for a medical site designation. And I took all that in stride, with some disappointment, as [...]

Q: Why did I have pain and tightness during intercourse?
Posted in Questions...and answers, tagged advice, lubricant, sex, sex after menopause, vaginal comfort, women on August 13, 2010 | Comments Off
In menopause, in the absence of estrogen, the vagina narrows and becomes more thin and fragile. Even when you are lubricated enough, the tissues have likely lost elasticity and can’t comfortably stretch with intercourse. Some light bleeding represents the “trauma” to those tissues and usually comes from near the opening of the vagina or the vaginal tissues themselves. Using [...]

I hate to be the first to break it to you, but your Mom had sex. She did. And it’s possible she even enjoyed it.
Talking about sex.

I live and practice in the Midwest, where open discussion about sex is just not part of the culture. Even among close-knit groups of girlfriends, it’s a rare discussion, at least not past a certain age. I’m trying to remember when I stopped talking about sex openly with my friends… I remember it was a [...]

The post title is just tongue-in-cheek, folks. A little health writing humor, poking a stick at the whole idea of health “secrets.” We don’t believe in keeping information about attaining good health secret. So here, today, long before going live with our website, we are happy to divulge our recipe for sex after menopause. The [...]
A Little Conversation About Mindfulness

Since launching MiddlesexMD, I have to say, my dinners have gotten a lot more spicy. You know how it is when dining with buddies. It’s polite — required — for them to ask what you’ve been up to lately. When I tell them about MiddlesexMD, you would think it might stop the conversation cold, but [...]
Female Anatomy 101

Writing for my gynecologist friend has included a lot of Aha! moments. I admit some of this learning makes me blush. It’s not just because I blush when talking about sex — though, I do. It’s because I’m embarrassed when I’m caught not knowing things I think I should have known a long, long time [...]
How I Came to Care about Menopausal Sex
Posted in Under the Covers, tagged menopause, sex on January 28, 2010 | 3 Comments »
…and why you should care too! It began when I partnered with the local hospital in my hometown to evaluate local women’s health services, looking for any gaps where additional services were needed. In the process, it became clear that our community needed and could support a healthcare practice devoted to the special needs and [...]
