This episode is all about your foo-foo, AKA your 'bits', down-there, fanny, vajayjay, beaver, muff... the list goes on. We're so afraid to call it by it's anatomical name - our VULVA. So say it loud and say it proud! It's not naughty, it's not explicit, it's purely an anatomical word.
This week we are joined by Dr Aziza Sesay, an NHS GP and GP Educator who has a strong passion for advocacy and empowerment, especially when it comes to women's health. She helps us break down the taboo of our vulvas, equipping us with knowledge on the proper names and what is 'normal' to experience down there. We speak about discharge, the effect of feminine hygiene products & tight clothing, pain during sex & periods, and how important it is to break down the stigma of talking about our vulvas and vaginas. Our bodies are made for pleasure not pain, and we need to be less embarrassed about checking ourselves in intimate areas so we can actually start cherishing our bodies and looking after them.
