Dr. Rachel Rubin

And let me just say, as a urologist, nobody expects me to take care of all of a man's health needs.

No man comes to see me for all of his medical care, and he shouldn't.

He should have several different doctors that take care of him.

So the mere fact that we have OBGYNs and they are expected to take care of a woman once a year for 15 minutes with your legs up in stirrups and that's medical care for the rest of your life is unconscionable.

And so women have to stop expecting their OBGYNs to know everything about their bodies because they simply don't.

Why does an OBGYN know about your heart?

I don't know about a man's heart as a urologist to the level that an OBGYN is expected to know about breast cancer and heart disease and bone health.

It makes no sense.

Today's guest is not only one of the most influential voices in sexual medicine, but someone I'm lucky enough to call a friend.

Dr. Rachel Rubin is a board certified urologist and a nationally recognized expert in sexual medicine.

She is one of the few physicians fellowship trained in both female and male sexual health.

And she serves as an assistant clinical professor of urology at Georgetown University.

She has shaped the field through her leadership as the former education chair and current director at large for the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health.

She also serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Sexual Medicine and the Video Journal of Sexual Medicine.

And she is a contributor and vocal advocate for the 2025 American Urological Association Guidelines on the Genital Urinary Syndrome of Menopause.

Her work extends far beyond the clinic.

Rachel founded the Sexual Medicine Research Team, a collaborative initiative advancing clinical research in sexual health.

Their work has pioneered our understanding around advocacy and around clitoral adhesions, genitourinary syndrome of lactation, and many other rarely discussed sexual health conditions.
