The First Drug-Free Treatment for Vaginal Infections

from Her House: Built for Women's Health · host Melissa D'Elia

Vaginal infections are equally common and uncomfortable. Dr. Kim Langdon, former OB-GYN and founder of Coologics,  joins Her House to unpack why conditions like yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis remain so persistent — and why current treatments are increasingly falling short. From her own experience as both a patient and physician, Dr. Langdon shares how frustration with outdated, drug-heavy solutions led her to develop a completely new, drug-free approach. We dive into the science behind vaginal microbiome balance, the growing problem of antifungal resistance, and how a simple shift in temperature may offer a breakthrough in treatment — and even prevention of more serious outcomes like preterm birth. We can’t stop talking about: Why vaginal infections are so common The limitations (and declining effectiveness) of current antifungal treatments  How cooling-based technology may reverse infections by restoring the body’s natural balance  The connection between vaginal health, inflammation, and serious risks like preterm birth  Historical dismissal of women’s health — from clinical research gaps to fundraising challenges Connect with Coologics & Dr. Langdon:Visit: www.coologics.comInstagram: @coologics_womenshealthConnect with Dr. Langdon - [email protected] an idea or story to share?
