Brain‑Gut‑Vagina Axis
- The brain, gut, and vagina operate on the same axis and influence each other.
- Gut dysbiosis can weaken vaginal immunity and cause chronic infections, mood issues, and nutrient deficiencies.
From Chronic Symptoms To Diagnosis
- Lo experienced depression, anxiety, chronic yeast infections, and severe nutrient deficiencies before diagnosis.
- Those issues took 18 months of doctor visits before blood tests revealed the deficiencies that explained neurological symptoms.
Push For Diagnostic Tests
- Advocate persistently for medical testing if symptoms persist and you feel dismissed.
- Ask for blood panels and follow up until you have data to guide treatment.
