Some topics feel a little awkward to talk about… until they happen to you at 2 AM.
This week on Girl Power, we sat down with Crystal Lloyd, Family Nurse Practitioner, to talk openly about UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, vaginal health, and the everyday habits that can make a bigger difference than most women realize.
From the classic “why does it burn when I pee?” panic to how dehydration, harsh soaps, tight non-breathable underwear, and hormone changes can trigger symptoms, this episode is full of real, practical information every woman should know.
We also cover overlapping symptoms between UTIs, BV, yeast infections, and other concerns, plus why being honest with your provider matters, what treatment can look like, and simple prevention tips that may help stop the cycle before it starts.
Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that vaginal health is normal health, and these topics should never feel embarrassing.
If you’ve ever dealt with recurrent UTIs, irritation, BV symptoms, or just wondered what’s actually normal, this is an episode worth watching.
