The Associated Press reported this week the marketing of a new product line of menopause – "a line of products that target American women 50 million that are or will soon go through menopause. Prices between $ 9.99 and $ 7.99, the line includes lubricant for vaginal dryness, adhesives, socks and feminine cleaning air freshener to the odor and cooling gel roll-on and wipes for women have hot flashes. " Snippet:
Feminine washes are usually not recommended by many doctors, says Dr. Lauren f. Streicher, a gynecologist and Assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Feinberg School of medicine in Chicago. And vaginal odor products that mask can cause people to not treat what is causing this symptom in the first place, she added.
"The idea to cover it with an air freshener is an inadequate approach," said Streicher. "I'm very happy people are paying attention, but I don't want to see people harnessed."
And USA Today reports:
But do we really need more products that suggest that women basically stink? The new "daily freshness" products — like all sprays, Douches and cleanser before them — can actually be harmful, doctors say.
"The vaginal odor is not a common symptom that patients come to physicians," or a problem that becomes more common during menopause, says Elisa Ross, an obstetrician/gynecologist at the Cleveland Clinic. When a woman realizes a unusual odor, she may have an infection, Ross says, "very few doctors recommend these products cleaning because they can mask the symptoms that should be brought to the attention of a doctor. They can also cause irritation if. "
Also this week, Liz Scherer, not your Mama Flashfree: menopause, wrote, "Politicizing menopause." Read the whole post for yourself. But I wanted to get two excerpts:
"It is possible that menopause has been Government overpoliticized, medicalizada and poorly characterized, a phenomenon not kidnapped by medicine as gradually occupied, [with] the authorities throughout the ages grimly trying and do not set your subject?" "" We are drowning in politics, medicine and industry. And it is difficult to discern the truth from fiction, the data from the data, the risk of benefit
