Menopause Vaginal Health - with Dr Bianca Zondach

from BecomingYOU@40 · host Chaneen Dippenaar

Vaginal dryness, discomfort, recurrent UTIs, and changes in intimacy are incredibly common in perimenopause and menopause—but they're rarely talked about openly. In this episode, I'm joined by gynecologist Dr. Bianca Zondach to unpack what's really happening to your body in midlife. We explore how declining estrogen impacts vaginal tissue, lubrication, pH, and overall vulvovaginal health, and why so many women are experiencing symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) without even knowing it. This conversation is about more than symptoms—it's about helping you understand your body, advocate for your health, and know that you don't have to just "put up with it." If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and things feel different "down there," this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps.
