Are you using the word "vagina" wrong? What does a normal vulva actually look like? Is it okay if sex sometimes hurts? And why does your body change so much in your 30s and 40s?
On this episode of Too Much Information, I'm joined by Dr Amber Savary-Trathen (@doc.ambs), a doctor specialising in sexual health, for a myth-busting guide to your own body.
We take the "embarassing" questions that keep you up at night and separate what's normal from red flag symptoms you need to get checked.
Expect a healthy dose of TMI and permission to stop worrying about the things that are actually completely normal.
We'll be answering the questions…
💭 Is my discharge normal?
💭 Should I be using a special wash down there?
💭 Why do I keep getting yeast infections?
💭 Is it okay for one boob to be bigger than the other?
💭 Why has my sex drive changed?
💭 Should I be worried about bloating?
If you've ever Googled "is this normal" and not loved the answers you found, this episode is for you.
