💜 **What Is a Urogynecologist? Meet Our Dr. Deeptha Sastry!**

You may know what an OB/GYN does — but have you ever heard of a **urogynecologist**?

Urogynecologists specialize in diagnosing and treating **pelvic floor disorders**, including conditions affecting the bladder, pelvic organs and bowel.

At **Harbour Women’s Health**, we're incredibly fortunate to have **Dr. Deeptha N. Sastry**, the **only fellowship-trained, double-board-certified urogynecologist on the Seacoast!** 💜

Dr. Sastry completed an additional **three-year fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery** after her OB/GYN training and has been caring for patients at Harbour Women's Health since 2010.

You may benefit from seeing Dr. Sastry if you're experiencing:

💧 Urinary leakage or incontinence
🚽 Overactive bladder, urgency or frequent urination
🤍 Pelvic organ prolapse, pressure or vaginal bulging
🚽 Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels
🤍 Pelvic or bladder discomfort
💩 Bowel leakage
🤍 Other pelvic floor concerns

And seeing a urogynecologist **doesn't automatically mean surgery!**

Depending on your symptoms and goals, treatment may include lifestyle changes, medications, pelvic floor therapy, pessaries, minimally invasive treatments or surgery when appropriate.

✨ **These conditions are common — and they're treatable.**

You don't have to plan your day around the nearest bathroom, stop exercising because you're worried about leaking, or simply accept pelvic pressure and bladder symptoms as part of getting older or having children.

Dr. Sastry takes a compassionate, individualized approach to helping women get back to the activities and quality of life they love. 💜

💗 **New Moms: Let’s Talk About Your Pelvic Floor**

Your postpartum recovery doesn’t end when you leave the hospital — and your pelvic floor deserves attention, too!

Pregnancy and childbirth can put significant stress on the muscles and tissues that support your bladder, bowel and reproductive organs. After delivery, you may notice changes such as:

💧 Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing or exercising
🤍 Pelvic pressure or a feeling of heaviness
🤍 A vaginal bulge
🤍 Pelvic discomfort
🤍 Constipation or bowel leakage
🤍 Changes as you heal from a tear or delivery

While some symptoms improve naturally as your body heals, you **do not have to simply accept ongoing pelvic floor problems as your “new normal.”**

Pelvic floor physical therapy and other treatment options can help with symptoms like urinary leakage, pelvic discomfort and pelvic organ prolapse.

🏃‍♀️ **And remember — returning to exercise after having a baby should be gradual.** Your body has gone through tremendous changes, and rebuilding strength takes time.

Most importantly, talk to your OB/GYN about any pelvic floor symptoms you're experiencing at your postpartum visit — even if they feel embarrassing or you assume they're just part of having a baby. We want to know, and there are ways we can help. 💕

🧠💭 MENOPAUSE BRAIN FOG: “WHY DID I WALK INTO THIS ROOM AGAIN?”

Forgotten names. Lost keys. Trouble finding the right word. Walking into a room and having absolutely NO idea why you’re there. 😅

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Changes in memory and concentration are commonly reported during the menopause transition. The good news? For many women, these changes are mild and may improve after menopause.

The Menopause Society recommends focusing on habits that support both your brain and your overall health:

😴 Prioritize sleep. Poor sleep and night sweats can make concentration and memory even harder.

🏃‍♀️ Keep moving. Regular physical activity supports cardiovascular and brain health.

🥗 Eat for your overall health. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other nutrient-rich foods.

🧩 Keep your brain engaged. Reading, learning something new, puzzles and staying socially connected can all help keep your mind active.

📝 Give your brain a little backup. Calendars, reminders, lists and routines can make everyday forgetfulness much easier to manage.

🧘‍♀️ Address stress and mood. Anxiety, depression and chronic stress can all affect concentration and memory.

🩺 Talk to your healthcare provider. If brain fog is interfering with your daily life, getting worse or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, don't assume it's “just menopause.”

And one important reminder: Hormone therapy is not currently recommended specifically for the prevention or treatment of cognitive decline or dementia. However, treating bothersome menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and disrupted sleep may help you feel and function better overall.

So yes… if you opened the refrigerator and forgot what you were looking for, you have company. 😉💗

🎡🍂 WHO’S READY FOR FAIR SEASON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?! 🍎🐄

📅 September 3–7

🎡 Hopkinton State Fair
📅 September 3–7

🐄 Hillsborough County Agricultural Fair
📅 September 11–13

🎃 Deerfield Fair

🍎🎒 BACK-TO-SCHOOL LUNCHES WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND

Back-to-school means getting back into the morning routine… including the daily question:

“WHAT AM I GOING TO PACK FOR LUNCH?!” 😅

The good news? Kids don’t need a picture-perfect lunchbox. Keeping it simple can still give them the fuel they need for a busy school day!

Try building lunch around a few basics:

🥪 Protein: turkey, chicken, cheese, eggs, yogurt, hummus or nut/seed butter (if allowed at school)

🍓 Fruit or veggie: berries, grapes, apple slices, cucumbers, carrots, peppers or whatever they’ll actually eat!

🥨 Grains/carbohydrates: whole-grain bread, wraps, crackers, pita, pretzels or another favorite

🥛 Dairy or alternative: cheese sticks, yogurt or milk

💧 And don’t forget water!

Need some easy lunchbox inspiration?

🌯 Turkey & cheese roll-ups + crackers + strawberries
🧀 DIY “Lunchable” with cheese, crackers, turkey + grapes
🥙 Hummus + pita + cucumbers + berries
🥜 Sun butter & banana sandwich + yogurt
🍗 Leftover chicken + rice + fruit
🧇 Mini waffles + yogurt + berries
🥚 Hard-boiled egg + crackers + cheese + apple slices

And remember: fed is best, and simple is perfectly okay. If your child eats the same three lunches on repeat, you’re definitely not alone. 😂

Here’s to full lunchboxes, fueled kiddos and hopefully remembering to grab the lunchbox out of the backpack BEFORE Monday morning. 🤢😂

🎒 MOMS… WE’RE ALMOST THERE. 😂🙌

The backpacks are coming out.
The school supply lists have arrived.
And somewhere, a mom is already wondering why her child needs 47 glue sticks and six different colored folders. ✏️😂

Back-to-school season is almost here!

After a summer of snacks, camps, carpools, “I’m bored,” and approximately 9,000 requests for something to eat… your regularly scheduled routine is about to return. 🙌

And while you’re busy getting everyone ELSE ready for school, here’s your reminder:

📅 Book the appointment you’ve been putting off.
💊 Refill those prescriptions.
🩷 Schedule your annual GYN visit.
☕ Drink your coffee while it’s actually hot.
🙋‍♀️ And maybe—just maybe—do something for YOU.

We love our kids.

We also love September. 😉🍎

Parents, be honest: Are you team “I’m going to miss them!” 🥹 or team “IS IT THE FIRST DAY YET?!” 🙋‍♀️😂
