63. Vaginal Changes in Perimenopause Real Talk on Dryness, Odor & More

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia dives deep into vaginal health during midlife, an often overlooked but essential part of overall well-being. Learn how hormonal shifts impact vaginal tissue, pH, and infection risk, and get practical, evidence-based solutions to support comfort, confidence, and intimacy. Whether you're experiencing dryness, odor, or recurring UTIs, this episode breaks down both hormonal and non-hormonal tools that can help you feel like yourself again.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How declining estrogen affects vaginal tissue, moisture, and pH balance
  • Why changes in pH can increase UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections
  • The benefits and safety of vaginal estrogen for all women
  • Non-hormonal options like DHEA, hyaluronic acid, and clean OTC products
  • Key nutrients and supplements that support blood flow and tissue health
  • How vaginal rejuvenation tools (like medical vibrators) improve circulation and elasticity
