CEO + Inventor by necessity of Ohnut
Is it clear what’s “normal” pain and what’s worth getting checked out? What’s cramps and what’s endometriosis? No. For 10 years I was all but rushed out the door at gyn appointments, and didn’t have the words to advocate for myself or even request a referral.
Research through Ohnut changed my world: 75% of women will have painful sex in their lifetime — yet only 38.2% of 4th year med students feel they have adequate training to discuss patients’ sexual concerns. Standardized education around sexual health is lacking for patients and providers alike, but as a matter of health and life quality, it’s time for that to change.
