Vaginal dryness is one of the most common—and least discussed—health issues women face as they age. But here’s the good news: it’s completely treatable, and with the FDA’s recent decision to remove the black box warning on vaginal estrogen, it’s finally time for women to get the clear, accurate information they deserve. 

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Margaret Nachtigall, reproductive endocrinologist at NYU Langone Health, and one of the leading experts in women’s midlife health, to break down exactly what’s happening in the body, why symptoms often get misdiagnosed as infections, and how women can feel comfortable and empowered choosing the right treatment. 

Whether you’re experiencing symptoms now or simply want to understand your options, this is a must-listen conversation about taking over charge of your vaginal health—without stigma, confusion, or fear.
