That is a urologist who actually does that, even though it's, you're like, it's in my vagina.
Right, right.
You're like, but wait, why is it not going to a gynecologist?
It is usually a urologist who does that because it's next to the urethra.
Because our urinary tract, our lower urinary tract involves women or people who own a vagina and vulva, there's a whole part of urology that is dedicated to women or vulva vaginal owners.
So this is why we are uniquely positioned because we actually can see anybody, no matter what's between your legs, who makes urine.
And we are really good experts at genitals, whether it's the male genital or the female genital.
Yeah, so it's getting better, but I think the latest statistic is 9% of urologists are women.
That used to be worse.
Um, we do see like women coming in the pipelines.
I was just at a meeting in Chicago.
I live in Chicago and there's this group called the Chicago Urologic Society meeting.
It's been around for like over a hundred years.
It's like one of the oldest urology societies.
And that room used to look like white men.
Okay.
It used to look like straight up man club.
Okay.
And it's great to see because one of our speakers, I'm the vice president of the society as a black woman, but one of the speakers said, I was a resident here 25 years ago and this room was like filled with men.
And now I'm looking and it's like 50% women.
