About this listen

On this episode of Sexplained, host Beyla Patil (‘27) interviews Dr. Sophia Yen, a physician and co-founder of Pandia Health, about making periods optional and why that choice matters. The conversation breaks down what it means to skip or reduce periods, how hormonal methods work in the body and who can benefit most from them. Dr. Yen also debunks common myths about fertility and “needing” a monthly bleed, discusses safety and side effects and offers practical tips for anyone nervous about starting the conversation with a parent or doctor. She has also done a TedTalk on what it means to make periods optional.
