Let’s Talk About Down There, shall we? Welcome to the podcast you wish you had in high school, where everyone and quite (c)literally everything is welcome; words like vagina, scrotum, and nipples are embraced with open arms and nothing is considered TMI. Because with board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Jen Lincoln in charge, shame is not on the menu. As a medical professional, social media educator, mother, author, and advocate for reproductive rights, Dr. Jen is officially OVER the stigma surrounding discussions of anatomy and is ready to go (down) there. Each week, she will get right down to business, answering your burning questions you’ve left her directly via her voicemail. She’s not holding anything back, and neither should you. This is a space to say what needs to be said in order to change the narrative of what’s considered taboo. So tune in, stay safe, stay empowered and keep talking. Viva la vulva, baby!
Be sure to rate, review, and follow because it’s about to go down…there. Don’t be shy; leave Dr. Jen a voicemail with your question at 503-893-2016 and make sure to join her online @drjenniferlincoln.

If you are someone or love someone with a vagina, this episode is a staple to have in your back pocket, providing the knowledge necessary to help stay safe.
What’s going down:
The various types of vulvar cancer and their level of commonality

An in-depth breakdown of colposcopies and the diagnosis process
Treatment options available: surgical and non-surgical
Why self-examinations and vulva surveillance could save your life
What staging is and what it means
Tips and preventative measures to consider to keep yourself safe
Discussing the clitorally ridiculous and dangerous misinformation about “lightening” your vulva. Watch TikTok here!
