Love Sex LA: Unfiltered

What should you actually be asking your OB-GYN? How often should you get tested for STIs? What’s the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2? Is ureaplasma an STI? Why do some women keep getting BV or UTIs? And what really happens to your body during perimenopause and menopause? In this episode of Love Sex LA: Unfiltered, Alexandria Rizik sits down with OB-GYN and women’s health expert Dr. Erica Montes for a candid, judgment-free conversation about the women’s health questions so many of us are searching online—but may be too embarrassed to ask in the doctor’s office. Dr. Montes breaks down STI and STD testing, including what is actually included in a full STI panel and why someone saying they’re “clean” doesn’t necessarily tell you everything you need to know. Alexandria and Dr. Montes also discuss herpes and the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2, HPV, ureaplasma, chlamydia, trichomoniasis and other sexually transmitted infections. They also go beyond STIs to talk about vaginal health and the vaginal microbiome, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), recurring UTIs, vaginal odor, discharge, itching, burning and irritation—and when those symptoms mean it’s time to see a gynecologist. The conversation covers birth control and sexual health, what women should know when hormonal birth control doesn’t work for them, when girls and young women should begin seeing an OB-GYN, routine gynecological care, Pap smears and cervical health. Dr. Montes also explains what women should know about perimenopause and menopause, including hormone changes, hormone replacement therapy, vaginal dryness, changes in libido and sexual health as women age. If you’ve ever searched Google, TikTok or ChatGPT for answers about your vagina, period, birth control, STIs, HPV, herpes, BV, UTIs, menopause or reproductive health, this episode is your judgment-free OB-GYN appointment.

They open up about their relationship with Nina, the infamous realtor lunch, accusations that moments were staged, and the Instagram reel Rylee sent to Erin and Trina. She also reacts to the cease-and-desist drama and explains why she stands by confronting the situation. Rylee and Dallas also get candid about raising competitive young athletes, why they don’t believe they push their kids too hard, their philosophy on quitting and discipline, and why their family operates differently than some of the other families on the show.
