Oh no wait…it’s just perimenopause.
Shocking News Alert: Have you heard about Halle Berry’s recent ordeal with her OB/GYN? She was misdiagnosed with “the worst case of genital herpes he’d ever seen,” when in reality, her painful sex and vaginal dryness were perimenopause symptoms. We can’t make this stuff up.
If you missed it, check out the article that explains how both Halle and her new beau underwent unnecessary STI tests before discovering the true culprit – perimenopause.

We Really LOVE
We love anything that offers relief for vaginal and vulvar dryness, pain, and burning. Experiencing any of these symptoms? Talk to your doctor. They’re common in perimenopause and shouldn’t be ignored (or diagnosed as herpes!). Vaginal estrogen is the gold standard for genitourinary symptoms. Another option is a vaginal moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. And so our new obsession: Good Clean Love’s BioNourish. GET MOIST
