What’s normal when it comes to vaginal health — and what’s not?

In this episode of The Health Review, Emily is joined by Dr Shirin Lakhani — GP, women’s health and menopause specialist, and founder of Elite Aesthetics — to break down everything you need to know about vaginal and vulval health.

They explore the most common issues women face, from pain during sex and vaginal dryness to infections and the role of the vaginal microbiome. Dr Shirin explains how hormones, probiotics, and even stress affect intimate health, plus what treatments are available — from lifestyle changes to innovative, non-surgical options.

This is an honest and practical conversation that every woman should hear — because women have been suffering in silence for too long and it's time to change that!
