and I am only getting started.....there are more

Hey there, if you are new here, welcome! - I am Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified urologist with a specialization in menopause and pelvic health. I've dedicated my career to helping women navigate the changes that come with menopause, and I'm here to share my expertise with you. Let's talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough love: vaginal estrogen. If you're rolling your eyes or feeling hesitant, stick with me. By the end of this blog, you'll wonder why no one told you this sooner.

1. Your Vagina is for you.

Here's something I hear from my patients more than I want to: "I'm not sexually active. Do I still need vaginal estrogen?"

My answer: Why wouldn't you? and why is your vagina for someone else in your world?

Your Vagina isn't a gift you're wrapping up for someone else—it's part of your body, and it doesn't even matter whether or not anyone else is involved. Vaginal health isn't just about sex; it's about a healthy pelvis. Comfort, function, confidence—all the things that make life better.
