Vaginal Health Care

Expert Care for Vaginal Dryness, BV, Yeast Infections, UTIs, Painful Sex, and Menopausal Changes

Your vaginal health is an important part of your overall well-being—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood areas of healthcare.

Whether you’re dealing with recurring yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV), vaginal dryness, unusual discharge, pain during sex, or simply feel like “something isn’t right,” you deserve compassionate care that goes beyond a quick prescription.

At Harmony Roots Wellness, we provide evidence-based, judgment-free care for vaginal and vulvar conditions across every stage of life. We take time to understand the underlying cause of your symptoms, educate you about your body, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Whether you’re 18 or 80, postpartum, perimenopausal, postmenopausal, transgender, or anywhere in between, we’re here to help you feel comfortable and confident again.

Common Vaginal Symptoms We Evaluate

Many vaginal symptoms can have similar causes, making an accurate diagnosis essential.

We commonly evaluate:

Our goal is not only to treat today’s symptoms—but to reduce the likelihood that they keep coming back.

Vaginal Dryness & Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)

Many people notice changes in vaginal comfort during perimenopause and menopause.

Declining estrogen levels can affect the tissues of the vagina, vulva, bladder, and urethra, leading to a condition called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

Symptoms may include:

These symptoms are common—but they are highly treatable.

Treatment options may include:

If menopause is contributing to your symptoms, visit our Menopause Care and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) pages to learn more.

Yeast Infections (Vaginal Candidiasis)

Yeast infections are incredibly common and can happen for many reasons.

Symptoms often include:

Some people experience yeast infections only occasionally, while others have recurrent infections several times each year.

Rather than repeatedly treating symptoms without answers, we work to identify contributing factors such as:

Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, exam findings, and testing when indicated.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among reproductive-aged adults.

BV occurs when the normal balance of healthy vaginal bacteria changes.

Common symptoms include:

Some people have BV without noticeable symptoms.

Recurring BV can be frustrating, but repeat infections often require more than another short course of antibiotics.

Our approach focuses on restoring healthy vaginal balance while addressing contributing factors and discussing prevention strategies.

Vaginal Odor

Changes in vaginal odor can result from many different conditions, including:

Rather than guessing, we perform a careful evaluation so treatment targets the actual cause.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

If you’ve had multiple urinary tract infections within a year, it’s important to determine why they’re happening.

Common contributing factors include:

We evaluate recurring UTIs and discuss treatment options that may reduce future infections—including vaginal estrogen when appropriate.

Pain During Sex (Dyspareunia)

Pain with intimacy is never something you should feel expected to “just tolerate.”

Pain may result from:

Because there are many possible causes, we take time to understand your symptoms before recommending treatment.

Vulvar Skin Conditions

Not all itching or irritation comes from infection.

We also evaluate conditions including:

Early diagnosis is important because some skin conditions require long-term monitoring and treatment.

Vaginal Health for Every Stage of Life

Adolescence & Young Adulthood

Education, first pelvic exams, infection treatment, birth control counseling, and sexual wellness.

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Healing after childbirth, infection management, pelvic floor recovery, and hormonal changes.

Perimenopause & Menopause

Vaginal Rejuvenation options

PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to support tissue healing and may be considered for selected patients seeking improved vaginal or sexual wellness.

These therapies are not appropriate for everyone, and we will discuss the current evidence, expected benefits, limitations, and alternative treatments before making any recommendations.

Keeping Your Vaginal Microbiome Healthy

The vagina naturally contains a diverse community of healthy bacteria that help maintain an acidic environment and protect against infection.

To support vaginal health:

Not every change in discharge or odor requires medication—but persistent or bothersome symptoms deserve an evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I keep getting yeast infections?

Recurring yeast infections may be related to diabetes, antibiotic use, hormonal changes, immune conditions, or other underlying factors. We work to identify the cause rather than simply treating each episode individually.

Is bacterial vaginosis a sexually transmitted infection?

No. BV is not considered a sexually transmitted infection, although sexual activity can influence the vaginal microbiome. It results from an imbalance of the normal vaginal bacteria.

Why is sex painful after menopause?

Declining estrogen levels can cause thinning and dryness of the vaginal tissues, reduced elasticity, and increased sensitivity. These changes are part of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause and are often very treatable with vaginal estrogen, moisturizers, pelvic floor therapy, or other individualized treatments.

Should I use over-the-counter yeast infection medicine?

Sometimes—but not always. Many vaginal conditions have similar symptoms, and studies show that people often misdiagnose themselves. If symptoms are severe, recurrent, or not improving after treatment, it’s important to be evaluated so the correct diagnosis can be made.

Can testosterone cause vaginal dryness?

Yes. Testosterone therapy can lead to vaginal tissue changes in some individuals, including transgender men and others using testosterone. We offer affirming, individualized care to help manage these symptoms while supporting your overall goals.
