A while ago, a woman in her mid-30s walked into my gynecological office and said, “Can you take a look? Everything feels so tight.” At the first appointment a few months earlier, she had complained of itching. Even then, her vulva was rather pale and dry for that of a young woman. A smear showed a bacterial infection, which I treated with antibiotics.
