80 percent of women over the age of 50 suffer from genitourinary syndrome. It causes pain with intercourse, bladder urgency, and infections, but there's no need to suffer.

Help is out there, and Dr. Diana Bitner and nurse practitioner Laura De Fraia stopped by the studio to talk about genitourinary syndrome and treatment options.
