Happy awareness day

PRP “down there” is being marketed for lichen sclerosus and sexual dysfunction.

Patients ask about it all the time.

The issue isn’t that it sounds unreasonable — it’s that the evidence isn’t there.

This is where medicine and marketing start to blur.

[Amanda Selk @DrAmandaSelk]

Why are doctors becoming influencers?

Because influencers are pretending to be doctors.

And patients deserve better information.

@ @ComPharmEngland would you help share this resource please, would be great if all pharmacy’s had information on lichen sclerosus as many women are misdiagnosed or self treat as thrush .

Many people assume vulval pain is common and untreatable.
It isn’t. Evidence-based care exists — and it should be more accessible.

Systematic review & meta-analysis of intravaginal ascorbic acid for BV treatment and prevention.

Early data show promise for improved cure & lower recurrence—but evidence is still limited.

Vulvar cancer often presents late — we can do better.
Don’t be embarrassed. Get to know your body. 💜

Excited to share our new paper in @JOGC_SOGC! We looked at vulvar self-exams in high-risk patients. Knowledge was low, but the good news—most were open to learning. Lots of potential to improve education and care. #WomensHealth #Gynecology
