Carpe in the press: “Intimate wellness is important”
Pubic hair. Labia.Pubic area.We grew
all up with the idea that the female intimate zone is
unjustly linked with “shame”.Why does it get
this zone not more attention? The well-being of the vagina
and vulvahas a major impact on our quality of life
and there should be no taboos around that.There práten
we about, metrespect and openness.
During research for reports, I sometimes dare to knock on my girlfriends’ doors; their opinions and insights
sometimes bring much-needed clarification. But when I threw the phrase “vaginal well-being” into our online henhouse, a conspicuous silence fell. It became immediately clear to me:
talk about the intimate zone, that do
you don’t just. An understandable reluctance. But is it justified or just harmful?
I spoke ahead of time with gynecologists dr.
Marijke Aerts and Dr. Karolien Stevens
of the V+clinic, about shame, lack of information, vaginal concerns
and intimate interventions.
VAGINAL BEAUTY IDEALS
Beauty ideals come in many
levels, subject to different influences. “But vaginal
beauty ideals are rather subjective say Marijke Aerts and Ka-
rolien Stevens. “Young girls get
in school sex education. They learn a lot about the function of their genital organs, but are barely introduced into
detail informed of the vast variation that exists in dimensions,
shapes and colors of the vulva.
Because of this lack of information ask-
gen many young girls wonder if their
external appearance at bottom well
normal. Add to that, in thisIn stagram erap erk, the urge to compare with
celebrities in yoga pants at,and you can understand the confusion about the “ideal looks” of a vagina among many
great.”
VERBAL CHASTITY BELT
‘Negotiability’ is clearly the
code word in creating intimate
well-being. Because if we don’t know
what is possible, if everything stays in a damn corner, it also becomes
difficult to resolve dissatisfactions and
identify and address problems
suits.
“As a physician, it is important to create a safe, trusting atmosphere. We
listen without judgment to complaints and wishes of our patient and
do a comprehensive investigation. From
From that, we discuss how to deal with
innovative treatments the
discomfort can be eliminated,” said
Dr. Aerts. “Thus, we especially see patients with vaginal problems such as dryness, painful
relations, involuntary urine leakage
and sexual displeasure.The behan-
sharing these complaints increases the
quality of life and we all have a right to that.”
TOO MANY PREJUDICES
“Unfortunately, many
prejudices surrounding vaginal procedures. In neighboring countries and the rest of the
world, this taboo atmosphere is not present or less present, allowing women to
make faster work of their vaginal
well-being. Because this one can be a huge
impact on your own well-being and sexual life,” adds Dr.
Stevens to.
An essential fact. Because we
one by one have the right to
do whatever we deem necessary to feel better, including intimate or pubic areas.
