Lola Weippert and Vanessa Mai Use Podcast to Urge Women’s Health Screenings

Their candid stories aim to cut fear that keeps many women from routine check-ups.

Overview

  • The co-hosts, in a Schön laut episode published Tuesday, urged women to keep regular gynecologist visits and other screening checks.
  • Weippert said a tumor found in her breast at a check-up proved benign after a biopsy, yet doctors now monitor it at six-month visits.
  • Mai said surgeons removed a precancerous change on her cervix, and she returns twice a year because such cells can grow again.
  • Both described dread before appointments but said they keep the schedule because early finds made care possible.
  • Mai recalled a small brain cyst spotted in a routine scan last year and lasting back pain from a 2018 disc injury, while Weippert recounted last summer’s meningitis with fever and word loss.
