Throughout our lives, women, or people with a vagina, will visit a gynecologist multiple times. The Public Health recommendation is to do so every 1-3 years, depending on individual circumstances, however, more than 50% of women will not follow this recommendation. It is not news that almost no woman likes to go to the gynecologist. Unfortunately, feeling anxiety, fear, vulnerability, embarrassment and discomfort are part of the common experience of many women when visiting this specialist. But why do we experience it this way?

Lack of sensitivity and empathy towards a patient in an extremely vulnerable position, judgment, infantilization, paternalism, lack of scientific progress, misinformation, taboo or normalization of female pain are some of the subtle forms of patriarchal violence that we women suffer in relation to our intimate health.
