Vaginal dryness and discomfort are common, treatable, and nothing to be embarrassed about. Dr. Megan Luciano creates a comfortable space to talk about it, and real options to feel like yourself again.
As estrogen levels fall during perimenopause and menopause, the tissues of the vagina and urinary tract can become thinner, drier, and less elastic. This cluster of changes is called genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and it affects a large share of women, though few bring it up.
The result can be vaginal dryness, itching or burning, discomfort or pain during sex, and urinary symptoms like urgency or frequent infections. Unlike hot flashes, these changes tend to be progressive, meaning they often continue or worsen without treatment, but they respond very well to care.
You don't have to accept discomfort or a loss of intimacy as just part of getting older. Dr. Luciano treats these concerns with the same seriousness and discretion as any other part of your health.
