The Vaginal Microbiome, Recurrent UTIs, Yeast Infections, Fertility, and Why Women Are Still Being Dismissed by the Medical System with Priyanka Jain, Co-Founder of Evvy
Priyanka Jain, co-founder and CEO of Evvy, shares how being dismissed by the medical system led her to help transform women's health through better vaginal microbiome data.
We talk about why the vaginal microbiome matters, how dysbiosis can drive inflammation even without obvious symptoms, and why women still face outdated standards of care. We also cover recurrent UTIs, yeast infections, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, probiotics, and at-home testing.
This is a practical conversation for women who want to better understand their bodies, stop brushing off symptoms, and use better data to support long-term health.
