Vaginal Symptoms in Perimenopause

Irregular bleeding, nonstop bleeding, vaginal dryness, itching, painful sex — perimenopause can bring a wave of symptoms no one warned us about. In this episode, we break down how declining estrogen affects vaginal and urinary health, what Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) really means, and why these changes impact intimacy, libido, and confidence.

We share our personal experiences with IUDs, oral birth control, vaginal estrogen, lubrication, and navigating hard conversations with partners and providers. No shame. No whispering. Just real talk about vaginal health in midlife.
