Do I need to see the gynecologist? After my hysterectomy, I was told I didn't need to see one. 

Your vagina needs to see a gynecologist. 

Your vulva needs to see a gynecologist.

In this episode we are talking about genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). The lack of estrogen during menopause leads to hormonal and anatomical changes in the genitourinary tract. 

Listen to learn why GSM remains underdiagnosed and explore treatment options.

Hormone therapy (HT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), is a treatment that involves supplementing the body with hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone) that it no longer produces in sufficient quantities during menopause.
