What's up ladies, welcome to this week's extra credit class! Today we're talking about the history of women's urinary health as a sister episode to this week's interview with Saoirse Nash.
I explore the historical and contemporary issues surrounding women's urinary and pelvic health, emphasizing the misconceptions about urology, the stigma women face regarding urinary issues, and the gender disparities in medical care.
I also discuss the (forced) sacrifices of Lucy, Betsy, and Anarcha that allowed for major contributions to women's urinary health, but at a very high cost.
I end by reviewing some things that we can do to strengthen our pelvic and urinary health, but definitely listen to my interview with Saoirse Nash for a more in depth convo on preventative care!
