Videos and Public Webinars on Genitourinary Health
Welcome to our video library. Here you'll find a growing collection of evidence-based videos and public webinars exploring the vaginal microbiome, recurrent vaginal infections, fertility, menopause, microbiome testing and broader genitourinary health.
This page brings together educational resources from both Dr Moira Bradfield Strydom's original YouTube channel and the new Intimate Ecology YouTube channel. While some of the earlier videos remain hosted on the original channel, all new content will be published on the Intimate Ecology YouTube channel as our library continues to grow.
Looking for the latest videos? Subscribe to the Intimate Ecology YouTube channel to stay up to date with new educational content, clinical insights and interviews. We also regularly release in-depth public webinars through the Intimate Ecology Online School for those wanting to explore these topics in greater detail.

Vaginal Itch and Pain. Are you asking the right questions? A discussion on clinical assessment.
Not everything that itches vaginally is thrush. Thinking about the many things a gynaecological itch could be is important for the correct diagnosis and treatment. So never assume.
Without thorough questioning and assessment you could be treating the wrong thing.
Cytolytic Vaginosis
Naturopath and vaginal microbiome practitioner Moira Bradfield Strydom discusses the presentation and some treatment strategies for the lesser known Cytolytic Vaginosis, a cause of vaginal discharge that presents like thrush but is in fact caused by an overgrowth of Lactobacilli and an overproduction of acidic metabolites.
Vaginal Microbiome Testing
Dr Moira Bradfield Strydom (PhD) talks you through the value in exploring the vaginal microbiome with comprehensive next generation sequencing. She also discusses when and how to test to get the most value out of the experience.
Relative abundance vs bacterial load
If you have looked at your microbiome test you may be confused by relative abundance and load and how they relate together. Understanding what these values mean can help you to make decisions on your results. They are valuable markers that tell a story. In this video Dr Moira explores this concept for people interpreting Vaginal Microbiome testing.
