Jim Smith The Medicine Shopie ® Pharmacy Vaginal Estriol May Relieve Symptoms of Aging and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections Recurrent urinary tract infections are a problem for many post- menopausal women. Estrogen replacement in the form of vagi- nal estriol cream can rejuvenate deteriorating mucosa, restore normal vaginal flora (increase lactobacillus), lower vaginal pH to a normal range, and may pre- vent urinary tract infections (UTI). Vaginal estriol can relieve urinary urgency, urge incontinence, stress incontinence and nocturia (night-time urination) and other menopause-related lower urinary tract symptoms. Younger women taking oral contraceptives can suffer from similar symptoms. Estriol therapy may increase cir- culation to the bladder and has been shown to improve the integ- rity of the epithelium (covering) of the bladder.

Vicki Kirkpatrick replaces Betty Wing, who served as interim direc- tor of public health following the resignation of Steve Kutz aRer 12 years at the helm. His resigna- tion was followed by an extensive search and a name change. Mason Public Health had been known as the Mason County Department of Health Services. Kirkpatrick was introduced to the community at last week's meet- ing of the county commissioners. Prior to joining the county staff, she was policy director for public health and statewide public health policy for the Washington State As- sociation of Counties and admin- istrator of the Washington State Association of Local Public Health Officials, an office of the Washing- ton State Association of Counties. She has been working on statewide policy issues regarding local pub- lic health with state and local of- ficials. Kirkpatrick was a lobbyist for the Washington State Association of Counties and said she found public health employees statewide to be incredibly dedicated to pro- tecting the public's health. "At the state level it can be exciting and you're working on big stuff, but you never get to see where it gets to be implemented or the effect of the implementation. And I really miss that," she told the commissioners. Before beginning work on the state level, Kirkpatrick worked as the administrative service direc- tor for the Tacoma/Pierce County Health Department. She said she's impressed with the personnel she's met at Mason County Public Health. "I felt very welcomed here. It's going to be an exciting opportuni- ty," she said. The change in management at Mason County Public Health fol- lowed issuance of a 19-page report on the agency by the Washington State Department of Health based on a series of interviews conducted in June of last year. Based on those interviews, the study team report- ed that: employees of the environ- mental health division expressed the opinion that response time to on-site sewage issues was slow; and some employees expressed concern that the county is not a provider of I Vicki Kirkpatrick ]: the state-funded Women, Ini and Children Program that families get adequate nutfl and information about health services for the young.

STRESS FRACTURES By Joseph Zygar, P. 7'. The number of stress frac- tures is on the rise. Women are particularly vul- nerable because they are more active than ever before and more prone than men to this type of injury. Microscopic breaks in the bone result from excessive loads be- ing placed on the bone. These breaks, called stress fractures, develop most often in the legs and feet. The risk of this type of injury rises dramatically when exercisers repeatedly engage in high-impact activity, such as running on pavement. Stress injuries may also result from poor balance or lack of flexibility. Such injuries often develop at the site of a previous injury. The prescription for stress fractures is rest, followed by varying exercise acti tics and advancing exercise regime slowly. Upper body stress fractu usually occur when there is repeat movement or impact to a certa a area. Tired muscles may also le to stress fractures, since weaken muscles transfer the stress to bor and joints, causing them to crack.
