Unspoken Truths: Libido, Pelvic Health, & Women’s Sexual Wellness

As women navigate the life changes that come with menopause, issues like low libido, pelvic discomfort, and changes in sexual function often emerge but are rarely discussed openly. Many women silently endure these challenges due to stigma and misinformation. The upcoming Pelvic Power Hour is here to change that.

In this candid interview, we’re joined by Dr. Rachel Rubin, a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine expert, to tackle the questions women don’t often get to ask. Dr. Rubin, an assistant clinical professor at Georgetown University and one of Washingtonian’s Top Doctors, will share her passion for empowering women to understand, prioritize, and reclaim their pelvic and sexual health.

Dr. Rubin’s mission goes beyond medical jargon; it’s about helping women feel informed, understood, and confident in managing their sexual health. This session covers everything from navigating low libido and managing pelvic pain to understanding hormonal impacts on sexual function, providing clarity on these often-overlooked health issues.

1. Breaking the Silence on Women’s Sexual Health: Despite progress, women’s sexual health is still shrouded in embarrassment and stigma. Dr. Rubin dives into the roots of this taboo and shares practical advice on how to approach these topics with healthcare providers.

2. Managing Common Pelvic Health Issues: Many women accept pelvic discomfort as a “normal” part of aging or motherhood—but it doesn’t have to be. Dr. Rubin outlines when to seek help for common issues like bladder leaks, pelvic pain, and painful sex, as well as what treatments and solutions are available.

3. Navigating the Hormonal Shifts of Perimenopause and Menopause: Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause often affect sexual health and desire, but these changes don’t have to mean the end of a fulfilling sexual life. Dr. Rubin explores the influence of both hormonal and non-hormonal factors on libido and sexual function and offers practical steps for women to regain confidence and enjoyment in their sexual health.

4. Women’s Pelvic Health in the “In-Between” Years: Often overlooked are the 20+ years between childbirth and menopause, but these years are critical for pelvic health. Dr. Rubin explains why women in their 30s and 40s should consider long-term pelvic health strategies to ensure lasting strength, comfort, and confidence.
