Pain, Dryness, and UTIs: The Truth About Menopause and Vaginal Health
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christina Enzmann to discuss Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), a condition that affects far more than vaginal dryness alone. We explore how menopause impacts vaginal and urinary health, the role of vaginal estrogen, common misconceptions about hormone therapy, changes in the vaginal microbiome, pelvic floor dysfunction, and why many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed when seeking care. Together, we highlight practical strategies to help women maintain comfort, confidence, and quality of life throughout menopause.
