Karen's interview with Dr Ray Hodgson, a specialist gynaecologist and and gynaecology surgeon is a candid discussion that addresses the medical issues women face as they age. Karen pays particular attention to normal and abnormal changes following menopause, and in particular the widespread problems of incontinence and genital prolapse. These conditions are often sensitive and embarrassing to women, and as a result they choose to suffer in silence. Karen's frank but light-hearted interview, openly addresses these issues, and as a result she helps break down these critical barriers to communication with health professionals.
Ever wondered why some people manage to stay youthful even and vibrant. They seem to defy all the pitfalls that can come with ageing. Thanks for a wonderful interview Jerome Lamarque
