    Vaginal rejuvenation is often misunderstood, misrepresented, and overdue for honest conversations in medicine. In this crossover episode between BackTable Urology and BackTable OBGYN, Dr. Nirit Rosenblum, a urology and OBGYN professor at NYU Langone Medical Center, is joined by Dr. Karyn Eilber, Chair of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Group Department of Surgery, and Dr. Ariana Smith, Chief of Urology at Pennsylvania Hospital. Together, they bring a multidisciplinary lens to one of the most misunderstood areas of women’s health. --- SYNPOSIS The discussion revolves around the broad definition of vaginal rejuvenation, distinguishing between medical and cosmetic interventions. They address common misconceptions, the roles of different health professionals, and emphasize the importance of pelvic floor physical therapy and the appropriate use of systemic and vaginal estrogen therapy.
