Ever feel like your vulva didn’t get the memo that sex is supposed to be enjoyable? You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining things. In this episode of Labia Logic, the doctors shine a (speculum-free) spotlight on vestibulodynia—a condition that sounds like a Harry Potter spell but is actually a very real and very painful cause of sex that feels more “ouch” than “ooh.”

Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure are back for part 2 of their Painful Sex series. This part covers what vestibulodynia actually is and explains why the vestibule is the unsung hero (or villain) of vaginal anatomy. The docs also take us through how nerves, hormones, and your brain team up to make things uncomfortable—sometimes for years—if left undiagnosed.

From practical treatment options like topical creams and pelvic floor physical therapy, to mental health support and even surgery, the docs cover the full range of solutions with zero shame and lots of smarts.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your anatomy, a newfound respect for your nerve endings, and maybe even a better vocabulary for talking about your pain. Because knowledge is power—and so is knowing that your vulva deserves better.

Let’s talk about sex, baby—specifically the kind that hurts. Oh, not what you expected? Good news, this episode of Labia Logic is telling you what you can actually do about it.

Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure are kicking off a three-part series on painful sex. In part one, they explain Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)—a name that’s as clinical as the symptoms are common. They’ll tell you what’s really going on with vaginal tissue and why estrogen (and even testosterone!) might be your new best friend.

Expect to learn why your vagina might need its own skin-care routine, the pros and cons of hormone-based treatments like vaginal estrogen and DHEA, and why that bottle of lube deserves a permanent place on your nightstand.

Stay tuned for part two, where we dig into nerve pain and pelvic floor therapy.

Ever looked down there and thought, “Wait… has that always been there?” You’re not alone.

In this no-shame, no-stupid-questions episode of Labia Logic, Drs. Meredith McClure and Ashley Fuller are here to talk bumps on the vulva—from the totally normal to the “maybe-I-should-call-my-doctor” kind. Instead of Googling "tiny bump on vulva," at midnight, listen to this episode instead–you’re awake anyway!

This episode gives you the power of vulvar knowledge: what’s normal, what’s not, and when to phone a friend (a.k.a. your healthcare provider). Learn to distinguish herpes from ingrown hairs, papillomas from warts, and why your vulva deserves as much attention as the rest of your body.

Get ready to take your mirror, your courage, and your curiosity into the bathroom—because knowledge is vaginal power.
