GSM: The Symptom Nobody Warned You About

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. It affects up to 80% of women. You should not be Googling this alone.

The quick explanation

Falling estrogen thins vaginal tissue, causing dryness, irritation, painful sex, and recurrent UTIs. Local vaginal estrogen is highly effective and very low-risk — different from systemic HRT.

Why this matters

GSM is treatable. Suffering through it is not required, ever.
