Description

Your vulva has a lot to say, and we're here to translate.

When was your last conversation about vulvas? We're guessing it was at your most recent OBGYN appointment, if then. But Dr Meredith McClure and Dr Ashley Fuller talk about vulvas all day, every day. Because just like any other body part, a healthy vulva is important to overall health and well being.

So, what would your vulva like you to know? (First message: "I'm not the vagina!")

In this podcast you'll learn the proper names of all the down-there areas, how to keep them healthy, what annoyingly persistent myths about your reproductive organs you can ignore, and so much more.

Join us every two weeks for fascinating conversations with experts and learn what you should have been taught long ago. It's not about embarrassment, it's about empowerment!

Ever had your vagina scream "something is WRONG," but every swab, test, and lab slip smugly insists you're "negative"?  In this episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure walk listeners through the maddening medical mystery of symptoms that don't match the swab, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes your vagina knows more than the lab.  If you've ever wondered why a test can lie while your vulva is very much telling an uncomfortable truth, welcome. Pull up a chair (preferably not the one with the crunchy paper). In the Deep Cuts installment of The Discharge Chronicles, Ashley and Meredith explain the rare, weird, and wildly misunderstood conditions that fall outside "yeast, BV, or trich." They tell you how these tricky diagnoses present, how they differ, and why they so often get missed.  A few big takeaways: negative swabs don't mean normal what symptoms point to DIV versus CV pH tells a story (high or low!) overusing antibiotics or probiotics can backfire spectacularly what "zebra" diagnoses to keep on the radar, and most importantly, how to find a clinician who actually knows how to diagnose these conditions.  Clinicians, patients, and anyone with a chronically pissed-off vagina will finally get the instruction manual that medical training forgot to include in this episode of Labia Logic.

Ever wondered why that mysterious discharge keeps showing up like an uninvited guest? Or why your yeast infection seems to have more comebacks than a '90s boy band?  In this laugh-out-loud yet educational episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure dive deep into the underworld of vaginitis, the usual suspects of yeast and bacterial vaginosis (BV). With humor, honesty, and a dash of microbiology geekery, they tackle the uncomfortable questions we all secretly want to ask. From "cottage cheese discharge" to the "fishy" aroma of BV, Ashley and Meredith explain the symptoms, causes, and most common misunderstandings about vaginal health. They share the not-so-sexy truth about what's happening when your microbiome is off-balance, why treating without testing can make things worse, and how certain meds (looking at you, Jardiance) can turn your vagina into a yeast playground.  Along the way, they reveal their favorite tools of the trade, like microscopes for spotting budding yeast, saline slides and KOH preps for quick in-office diagnoses. And they take on myths about sexually transmitted infections and pap smear "surprises."

Candles, couches, or clipboards?  In this episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Meredith McClure and Dr. Ashley Fuller are talking all about desire with certified sex therapist and licensed counselor Trista Jones, LPC-S of Sexual Health Experts (SHE). Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe blush a little as the trio unpacks the many layers of libido including what is biological, emotional, or somewhere in-between. Trista explains how sex therapy helps patients untangle what's really behind a turned-off sex life. She covers trauma, medical pain, perimenopause, and plain old exhaustion. She shares how therapy sessions actually work, why sex is a team sport for your brain and your body, and why mindfulness, communication, and even scheduled intimacy can reignite connection. Listeners will leave this episode knowing how to find a qualified sex therapist, what to expect from therapy, and how to start the conversation about desire, without shame or awkwardness.  Whether your libido's MIA or just in need of a little fine-tuning, this episode proves you're not broken.

Feeling like your libido packed up and left without leaving a note? You're not alone.  In this hilarious and honest episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure pull back the covers on one of the most common yet least-discussed topics in women's health: low libido. From the stress of midlife chaos to the reality that pain and fatigue are major turn-offs, our favorite vulva experts unpack the messy, multifaceted world of sexual desire.  Good (bad?) news, a glass of wine is not the answer. You'll get a true education on the biopsychosocial model of libido. Translation: it's complicated! They explore how hormones, mental load, relationships, and even the state of your kitchen can all hit the brakes on desire.  You'll also hear why the linear "get turned on, have sex, orgasm" model is outdated, and how a more circular, responsive view of desire fits real life (especially if sleep is currently sexier than your partner). Drs. Fuller and McClure also cover the surprisingly empowering world of erotica apps, sex scheduling, and FDA-approved libido meds. Moral of the story: you're not broken. You're complex, human, and deserving of satisfaction.

Ever wondered what happens when your clit throws a fit? Really, it's not as fun as it sounds.  In this episode of Labia Logic, Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure are joined by vulvar specialist Dr. Jill Krapf to talk about the mysterious, often-ignored world of clitoral pain. From awkward anatomy lessons in med school to why no one seems to look at the clitoris during exams, we're pulling back the hood, literally and figuratively. Dr. Krapf walks us through the two main culprits of clitoral pain: structural issues like adhesions and nerve-related drama. She explains why some people can't stand the seam of their jeans brushing "down there," why others can't find their clitoris anymore, and how keratin pearls (yes, pearls) might be the villains causing sand-in-your-eye-level discomfort.  Equal parts science and sass, the conversation makes it clear: this is a real medical issue, not something to just grit your teeth through. If your clit is cranky, you deserve answers, not eye-rolls. This topic definitely got skipped in sex-ed class, so make sure you share with anyone who needs a little Labia Logic in their life! More about our guest: Dr. Jill Krapf is a board-certified Obstetrician Gynecologist specializing in female sexual pain disorders at The Center for Vulvovaginal Disorders Florida in Tampa. She is a co-author of the book When Sex Hurts: Understanding and Healing Pelvic Pain.

The clitoris: tiny but mighty, misunderstood but magnificent. She's really the MVP of the vulva, so let's get to know her a little bit! In this episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure shine the spotlight on  the clitoris, the organ that somehow managed to dodge serious medical attention until the early 2000s.  Yes, you read that right: we mapped the moon before we mapped the clitoris. Let that sink in. Ashley and Meredith break down why the clitoris has been overlooked in medical training, sex education, and even at the gynecologist's office. C'mon, Docs, it's not that hard to find! They cover its full anatomy, from the visible tip to the hidden structures that wrap around the vagina, and why it deserves the same respect as, say, its male counterpart.  Listeners will walk away knowing why examining the clitoris matters, how Hollywood has been lying about orgasms, and why vibrators deserve a standing ovation. You'll learn about clitoral adhesions, nerve endings galore (more than a cow, actually), and the importance of getting a mirror and saying hello to your own anatomy.  It's the sex ed you should have gotten in the first place!

What happens when you go from being dismissed by doctors to becoming a voice for thousands? In this episode of Labia Logic, our hosts interview two awesome women who are changing the game for people living with lichen sclerosus and lichen planus. If you've ever felt like no one's talking about what you're going through—these guests are here to say, "We see you. We are you." Kathy Ruiz-Carter and Jaclyn Lanthier join Drs. Fuller and McClure on Labia Logic for a glimpse into the real world of getting diagnosed and getting treated with these two vulvar skin conditions. Kathy and Jaclyn are two advocates who know firsthand how confusing, isolating, and frustrating life with these conditions can be.  Kathy shares her journey from a confusing diagnosis to creating the Lichen Sclerosus Support Network, where she empowers patients through education, community, and yes, some much-needed validation.  Jaclyn, founder of The Lost Labia Chronicles, gets real about the emotional toll of delayed diagnosis and how becoming an advocate helped her take back control—not just of her health, but her voice. Guest Takeaways: Trust your experience: Both Kathy and Jaclyn emphasize that you are the expert on your own body—and that it's okay to seek second, third, or fourth opinions until you're heard. Community matters: Support networks like Kathy's nonprofit help patients feel less alone and more empowered in navigating chronic conditions. Advocacy is powerful: Sharing your story can be healing, and it can spark systemic change in medical education and public awareness. Hope is real: With the right care team, treatment, and support, you can manage these conditions and reclaim quality of life—one conversation at a time.

Ever been told "it's all in your head" when something's very much happening in your pants? You're not alone.  In this eye-opening and surprisingly uplifting episode of Labia Logic, hosts Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure peel back the layers (with consent, of course) on two misunderstood vulvar conditions: lichen sclerosis and lichen planus.  Together, they explain what these disorders actually are, not just dry skin. Ashley and Meredith also get into the roadblocks to getting a diagnosis, and the crucial role of supportive healthcare providers. Googling your symptoms is not a treatment plan—but finding a community who gets it just might be. You'll walk away from this episode with a better understanding of lichen sclerosis and lichen planus, the importance of early detection, and why no one should suffer in silence—or without a specialist.  More about the hosts of Labia Logic: Dr. Ashley Fuller is a Sexual Medicine Gynecologist and Vulvar Specialist in Seattle, WA.  www.ashleyfullermd.com   Dr. Meredith McClure is a Menopause SpecialistSexual Medicine Gynecologist and Vulvar Specialist in Dallas, TX. www.meredithmccluremd.com Follow the show on Instagram @labia_logic    
Ever been told to "just do your Kegels" and move on? Yeah… no. If sex hurts, it's not all in your head—or your partner's technique.  This third and final installment of Labia Logic's Painful Sex series goes beneath the surface (literally) to explore why pelvic pain happens, how to stop it, and why your pelvic floor might be crying out for a little R&R instead of more reps. Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure are joined by Sara K. Sauder PT, DPT an expert Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist.   Sara helps us untangle the surprisingly complex, and totally fascinating, world of pelvic health. From misunderstood muscles to the oft-ignored vestibule (she's baaa-aack!), Drs. Fuller and McClure talk anatomy, therapy, and everything your OGBYN forgot to mention.  You'll learn why Kegels might not actually be your BFF, how fascia (that sneaky connective tissue) could be making things worse, and what role stress plays in pelvic tension. Labia Logic's 3-part Missionary Impossible series will leave you informed, empowered, and armed with more information than you ever thought possible about your vestibule.  Share all three parts with the ladies in your life; you may not even know who is suffering from painful sex when they don't have to!

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.   More about the hosts of Labia Logic: Dr. Ashley Fuller is a Sexual Medicine Gynecologist and Vulvar Specialist in Seattle, WA.  www.ashleyfullermd.com Dr. Meredith McClure is a Menopause SpecialistSexual Medicine Gynecologist and Vulvar Specialist in Dallas, TX. www.meredithmccluremd.com Follow the show on Instagram @labia_logic
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.

Let's talk about vulvas, baby! In this laugh-and-learn episode of Labia Logic, we're diving deep (pun very much intended) into a part of women's health that too often gets glossed over—vulvar dermatology.  Dr. Melissa Mausker joins Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure for this episode to chat all about what it means to specialize in vulvar dermatology, why collaboration between dermatologists and gynecologists is so crucial, and how education and mentorship are shaping the future of this often-overlooked field. Dr. Mausker's resident Krsitin Schiele, MD joins for part of the conversation too. She chimes in on beginning her career in dermatology and the importance of mentorship within the field.  It's not just about itching and burning (though yes, we cover that too)—it's about building a better understanding of the skin below the belt and breaking down the taboo around vulvar health. Expect practical tips, empowering insights, and knowing which vulvar care products make the expert-approved cut. More about our guest: Dr. Melissa Mausker is a Board Certified Dermatologist and Associate Professor in the Departments of Dermatology and Obstetrics and Gynecology in Dallas, Texas.

In this no-holds-barred episode of Labia Logic, Doctors Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure tackle a topic that's been unfairly shrouded in shame and scented sprays: vaginal and vulvar odor.  That's right—we're going nose-first into the world of what's normal, what's not, and why your body's natural aroma isn't something to be Febreezed into submission. From the ebb and flow of hormonal changes to the nuances of bacterial vaginosis, our hosts peel back the layers (metaphorically, don't panic) on what really causes vaginal odor—and why it's high time we stopped whispering about it. With their signature mix of science, sass, and zero shame, Ashley and Meredith explore how menstruation, menopause, and even your post-spin class sweat can influence your scent. They remind us that knowing your own body is a radical act of self-care—and that sometimes, a trip to the doctor is the best accessory to your pH balance.    More about the hosts of Labia Logic: Dr. Ashley Fuller is a Sexual Medicine Gynecologist and Vulvar Specialist in Seattle, WA.  www.ashleyfullermd.com   Dr. Meredith McClure is a Menopause SpecialistSexual Medicine Gynecologist and Vulvar Specialist in Dallas, TX. www.meredithmccluremd.com Follow the show on Instagram @labia_logic
Ever had an itch you really can't scratch in public? You're not alone. In this episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Meredith McClure and Dr. Ashley Fuller tackle the uncomfortable (and all-too-common) world of vulvar itch.  From maddening scratch cycles to skin disorders and sneaky infections, they unpack why your nether regions might be staging a protest—and what to do about it. And guess what–it's more than just swapping your laundry detergent. Ashley and Meredith talk about the importance of proper diagnosis (because not all itches are created equal), share smart strategies for relief, and remind us that knowing your vulva is the ultimate power move.  This episode has practical advice, a few laughs, and permission to talk about that itch without blushing.

In this episode of Labia Logic, hosts Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure tackle the hairy topic we've all been too shy to ask our gynecologist (or stylist?) about: vulvar haircare.  From the timeless debate of bush vs. bare to the wild world of grooming trends, they're here to talk cultural norms, myths, and realities of pubic hair. Good news: doctors aren't judging your landscape choices. They also explain why pubic hair exists (hint: it's not just for decoration) and how to navigate the sometimes-itchy aftermath of shaving. Did you know trimming is a fan-favorite among gynecologists?  You'll learn how to keep the peace with your skin, and how aging might give your down-there hair a personality of its own.

In this episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure are playing tour guide to take us through the landscape of the labia. First stop: the vulva — because let's be honest, most of us didn't get the full anatomy lesson in health class.  From labia majora to the mysterious vestibule (it's not a fancy lobby, we promise — or is it?), the doctors cover it all with humor and a healthy dose of real talk. Guess what…the hymen is not a magical barrier of purity, and knowing your vulva is the ultimate act of self-care. In this episode, Ashley and Meredith talk about why words matter, how hormones influence vulvar health, and the importance of ditching the shame that often comes with discussing our own bodies.  They're here to normalize self-examination, celebrate body literacy, and maybe even inspire a mirror moment.  You'll laugh a little, and walk away knowing your perineum from your clitoris — because knowledge is power, and empowered vulvas are happy vulvas.
