Cancer treatment can significantly affect genitourinary health and sexual wellness. Treatments for breast and pelvic cancers - especially endocrine therapy, radiation therapy or ovarian surgery - may induce early menopause. This often occurs more abruptly and with more severe symptoms than natural menopause. The gynaecological and urinary side effects associated with menopause are collectively known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).
Testimonial
Darlaine Honey was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer in October 2016. Following multiple surgeries, including a bilateral mastectomy and oophorectomy, along with pharmacological treatment, she became frustrated by the lack of side effect management strategies and decided to turn to vaginal probiotics.
Over a 4-week period, Darlaine took one Ultimate V probiotic capsule daily. She noticed an increase in Lactobacillus, relief from discomfort, and significant improvement in vaginal dryness. Darlaine now advocates for breast cancer survivors, focusing on issues such as sex after breast cancer.
