Why are we still afraid to talk
about vaginal health?
Even in the 21st century, vaginal health education is vastly inadequate and saying the word “vagina” still makes people uncomfortable. There is a real lack of reliable information about vaginas and vulvas and women are left to wonder what’s normal and what’s not. As a result, misinformation and myths surrounding vaginas spread in every layer of our society, creating shame, fear and insecurities. And because of this, women struggle to talk openly about their vaginal health, even when discussing their health concerns with their doctor.
