About this interview:

Jane Lewis suffered for several years as a result of her menopausal vagina. So much so that it impacted every aspect of her life and impacted severely on her quality of life. Jane however is not alone, and many thousands if not millions of menopausal women suffer from vaginal atrophy that results from menopause. Jane wrote a book "Me and my menopausal vagina" having suffered for seven years and having "tried pretty much everything out there to try to help me. I learnt so much from it that I decided to write a book to share my experiences so you don't ever feel as alone as I did." In this conversation we talk about the menopausal vagina and hope that it will not be a taboo subject but instead inform, educate and empower women. ​ Links - Website
