Finally! Some GOOD news! 3 Women’s Health Wins You Should Know About

For years, women have been told their symptoms are "normal," dismissed, or left waiting years for answers. But what if that narrative is finally starting to change? In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins break down three major women's health updates that could have a real impact on how patients are diagnosed and treated. First, they unpack two groundbreaking studies showing that vaginal estrogen may dramatically reduce recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), hospitalizations, sepsis, and even mortality. Secondly, they share one of the most exciting developments in endometriosis research, a new saliva test that may one day help diagnose endometriosis without surgery. They explain how the test works, why traditional imaging often misses the disease, and why this could shorten the average decade-long delay many women face before getting diagnosed. Finally, they discuss updated ferritin guidelines and why so many women with heavy periods, fatigue, brain fog, or hair loss may have been told their iron levels were "normal" when they weren't. Plus, why prevention is becoming just as important as treatment, how new research is reshaping women's healthcare, and the simple questions every woman should consider asking at her next doctor's appointment.  IF YOU’RE TEXTING YOUR FRIENDS LIKE... You: Wait... vaginal estrogen can actually prevent recurrent UTIs?? Also You: There's a saliva test to diagnose for endometriosis now??? 3AM You: Hold on... my iron was "normal," but no one ever checked my ferritin??  IF YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH HISTORY LOOKS LIKE THIS… What is vaginal estrogen? Does vaginal estrogen help prevent UTIs? Is vaginal estrogen safe after breast cancer? Can vaginal estrogen be used during perimenopause? How accurate is the endometriosis saliva test? Why does endometriosis take so long to diagnose? What is ferritin? What ferritin level is considered low? Can low ferritin cause hair loss? Can low ferritin cause fatigue and brain fog? When do you need IV iron instead of iron pills? YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! Let’s continue the conversation!
