So it makes perfect logical sense that when you then lose hormones and we turn off the cycle, which happens in perimenopause and menopause, then the genitals are going to change because they're very responsive to hormones.

So you and I broke the internet this year because we talked about... In reference to that viral video where you talked about the loss of the labia.

Okay, yeah.

The labia minora.

So it is fact.

I'm going to say this out loud for the whole world to hear.

It is a fact that when you lose hormones, the labia minora start to resorb.

That means they start to shrivel up and go away.

That doesn't mean everyone loses their complete labia.

For all of you saying I should lose my medical license, it means that the labia minora changes.

They do change.

And they do.

If you open your eyeballs, you're going to see the labia minora change in menopause.

We actually don't know from science.

Is it estrogen?

Is it testosterone?

Is it something else?

I want to study this.

This is my dream to have a lab where we can study these very important questions.

But it changes.
