I hate the phrase “Benign Gyn” because it insinuates that heavy bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse, incontinence, menopause, pelvic floor spasm, ovarian torsion, cyst ruptures, pelvic inflammatory disease, and tubo-ovarian abscesses are benign. And they are not.

So proud of my institution for digging their heels in and putting some money towards funding solutions for women’s pain, which is so often overlooked and under treated.

These authors created a clever low-fidelity transvaginal vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF) simulation model that addresses a current gap in surgical training and replicates procedural tasks including identification and closure of VVF. journals.lww.com/fpmrs/fulltext…

Today I had a patient who told me I am the first gynecologist (of many) she’s ever seen who asked her if she wanted children, instead of assuming that she did or she would at some point. She cried with gratitude. We have to do better.

Hmm I wonder which is better, either a man having a minimally invasive 20 min vasectomy under local anaesthetic that comes with a recovery time of 1 day or a woman having major abdominal surgery under general anaesthetic that takes a month to recover from. Impossible to say!

Women wised up to the fact that majority of men want kids in a way a child wants a puppy knowing full well the mom is going to pick up after it and do most of the labor required. Men don’t train to be loving empathetic and present fathers the way women are expected to be mothers.

Up to half of patients may leak after sacrocolpopexy–but this study shows it doesn’t bother them. What is the threshold for patients to be treated for stress incontinence after prolapse surgery? journals.lww.com/fpmrs/fulltext…

Women are “choosing a job over their own children” but men are “working hard for their families.” ✨This is sexism.✨
