In this interview, Consultant Urologist and Associate Professor Dr Jessica Yin discusses Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), previously known as vaginal atrophy.

GSM is a common condition that can cause vaginal dryness, discomfort, bladder changes and pain during intimacy. Dr Yin explains how GSM affects the vagina, vulva and urinary tract, why awareness of female urological health has been limited until recent years and the importance of recognising that effective treatments are available.

She also highlights how open conversations and access to expert care can significantly improve quality of life for people experiencing these symptoms.
