#135: Let's Talk About Vaginal Health and MS – What Women Should Know with Dr. Melika Arab Bafrani

In this insightful episode, I talk with Dr. Melika Arab Bafrani, postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), about a topic that deserves far more attention — vaginal health and MS.

MS affects not only the nervous system but also the immune balance of the whole body, including intimate areas. Dr. Bafrani explains how disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) can alter the vaginal and urinary microbiome, why collaboration between neurologists and gynecologists is vital, and what warning signs women with MS should never ignore.

We also discuss:

  • How DMTs can influence the vaginal environment

  • Early symptoms of imbalance or infection to look out for

  • Daily habits and preventive care for intimate well-being

  • Research gaps and why women's participation in studies is so important

  • How personalized medicine could shape the future of MS treatment

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have lived with MS for years, this episode helps you better understand how intimate health connects to your overall MS journey.
