Women's Health

Changes to the vagina and vulva are a far more quiet topic that deserves more awareness and attention. Asking questions like why and how does this happen, as well as what options are available to support are super valuable for us as women.

Studies suggest that up to 60% of perimenopausal women report sleep problems … and night sweats are among the most commonly experienced contributors.

The oral contraceptive pill may contribute to vaginal dryness, pain with sex and vulvar irritation in some women. Research shows it can lower testosterone and increase SHBG, reducing hormone availability to tissues. This may impact lubrication and tissue health. While it may not be the sole cause, it’s a factor worth exploring if symptoms arise.

Access and informed consent aren't the same thing. My concern isn't that women will choose the pill — it's that they'll choose it without the full picture.
