The Bicycle

Was this the end of something she had always loved? After years of cycling to work and long summer days riding for miles, she found herself dreading getting on her bike. It sat in the garage, unloved, ignored.

The burning vulval pain could not be ignored. Flaring up, making it uncomfortable to sit.

Why did doctors always talk about the menopause affecting your sex life? This was far more important!

Then one day she became a member of a secret society: a private Facebook group where women shared their stories.

One day she would cycle again.
