#21: Vaginal health

Do you know what vaginal health is? This is a topic that is rarely talked about. So in this episode we talk openly and in detail about aspects you need to know about your vagina: including how it smells like, its pH environment, its microbiome, yeast infections, bacterial vaginitis (BV) infections….and Dr. Sophia’s favorite subject, vaginal discharge (or vaginal secretions)! Join us and get ready to hear about so many things you wondered about your vagina and vulva. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.
