S3 Ep132: The Itchy Vulva (and Not So Itchy Vulva) with Dr. Jill Krapf
Men have always had the obvious advantage of inspecting their genitalia with essentially no effort on their part. For women, it’s a little more challenging. Combine that with the recommendation that there is no need for women to have a gynecologic exam as they get older, most doctors are also not looking. Today I am joined by Dr.Jill Krapf, a gynecologist whose area of expertise is …the vulva. We will be discussing one of the most maddening, frustrating symptoms in all of gynecology- THE ITCHY VULVA , but just as important, why even if your vulva isn’t itching, why it still needs some attention.
