Do Women Still Need a Gynecologist After 50? with Dr. Cheruba Prabakar

Midlife isn’t the end of gynecologic care. In many ways, it’s where the real work begins.

In this episode of Sexy in Your 60s, I sit down with Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, MD, FACOG — board-certified OB-GYN and nationally certified menopause practitioner — to talk about what women over 50 truly need when it comes to their health.

As a Master’s-prepared Registered Nurse with over 40 years of clinical experience and a Lifestyle Medicine–certified Health & Well-being Coach, I’ve seen how often women step away from gynecologic care once they’re done having children. But as Dr. Prabakar explains, this is often when the most important work begins.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Why women should continue seeing a gynecologist after menopause

• What often gets overlooked in midlife care

• Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor changes

• Painful intercourse and vaginal dryness

• The evolving role of hormone therapy

• Bone health, strength training, and preventive screening

• What thriving in your 50s and 60s really looks like

This is not about chasing youth. It’s about protecting quality of life for the decades ahead.
