Your Vagina: An Oral History

I write headlines like this to amuse myself (I have the sense of humor of a 13-year-old boy), but in reality there's not much of an oral history of vaginas. People don’t talk about their vaginas—or the issues that accompany said vaginas—nearly enough. So where can we turn for the answers to our most pressing vag-related questions (nope, there is no way to get though that sentence without it sounding like innuendo)?

Dr. Carolyn DeLucia, that's where. She's an M.D., FACOG—Fellow of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a women’s intimate health expert with practices in New York City and New Jersey. The vast majority of her practice is women our age. “Many women will begin to notice differences following the birth of their first child,” says DeLucia, “but the biggest shifts are when a woman enters menopause. Losing our friend estrogen changes things.”
