In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christina Enzmann to discuss Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), a common yet often overlooked condition affecting vaginal and urinary health. We explore the role of estrogen, the vaginal microbiome, recurrent UTIs, painful intercourse, and why many women are dismissed when symptoms first appear. Dr. Enzmann also shares practical strategies for restoring balance and protecting vaginal health throughout midlife and beyond.
