About this episode
In this episode, Dr. Richard Ingebretsen explores women’s health challenges in the backcountry, focusing on common conditions that can arise far from definitive medical care. We discuss menstrual-related conditions—including dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), mittelschmerz (ovulation pain), urinary track infections and premenstrual syndrome (PMS)—with an emphasis on recognition, prevention, and field-appropriate management.
This podcast is designed for those who are not as familiar with these issues and help them understand how to keep others stay safe, comfortable, and resilient while traveling in the wilderness.
