So when women come in after hysterectomy and say, hey, my orgasm has changed, believe them.

believe them.

And let's show that curiosity of, well, wait a minute.

Maybe the science I was taught, maybe it's not true.

And it's like, do we know the answer?

Do we not know the answer?

Have I just not been taught the answer?

So you treat women who, by the time they get to you, because you're like high-level specialists, like a woman doesn't think I need to go to a urologist.

Right.

You know, most women don't even know that a sexual medicine specialist exists in the world.

So

It's probably safe to assume that women have been bounced around by several doctors.

I see them pushed into anxiety and depression diagnoses based on this.

Is this what you see as well?

Absolutely.

So, you know, the data is very clear.

If you have pelvic pain specifically, right, you go to like 10 doctors, 15 doctors before you get to someone.

It's getting better.

The Internet is helping here and these patient advocacy groups are helping here.

And I had a patient, this was actually so magical.
