ACR: Pelvic Health in Perimenopause and Menopause: Navigating Challenges and Solutions with Dr. Jessica Drummond

Join us for an engaging and evidence-based presentation that dives into the critical yet often overlooked topic of pelvic health during the perimenopause and menopause transitions. As hormonal changes impact every system in the body, the pelvic floor—essential for bladder, bowel, and sexual health—requires special attention. In this session, we will explore the physiological changes that occur during this life stage and their effects on pelvic health, including common issues such as pelvic pain, prolapse, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how fluctuating hormone levels influence pelvic floor muscles, connective tissues, and the vaginal microbiome. We’ll also discuss innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to support optimal pelvic health, blending functional nutrition, physical therapy, hormonal support, and lifestyle strategies. Practical tools for nervous system regulation, strength training, and addressing conditions such as overactive bladder, bladder pain, dyspareunia, and vulvovaginal atrophy will be highlighted. Whether you’re a clinician, coach, or a woman seeking answers, this presentation will equip you with actionable insights and resources to promote resilience and long-term pelvic health during the menopause transition. Don’t miss this opportunity to empower yourself or your clients with cutting-edge strategies to thrive during this vital stage of life.
