Say It, Even If You Don't Know the Right Words
“It's challenging for a woman to explain that she feels pain during sex or that she feels like her genitals are dropping. I see this regularly,” says Dr. Sylvie Nadeau, gynecologist at the Figurra Institute. “Society has taught us not to talk about these things. Unfortunately, too many women suffer in silence for years because they feel embarrassed about what is happening to them. But it is not their fault, nor is it shameful. It’s a medical condition just like an infection or a broken bone.”
Sometimes patients call us to make an appointment with Dr. Nadeau but are reluctant to explain why they are calling.
“When we ask for the reasons for a visit, it’s to find out if we can help them and plan their first appointment well. We don't need to have all the details, but it's important for women to take charge of their health, and that starts with being able to explain, in a simple way, how they feel physically. When a patient says, ‘I feel like everything is dropping down there!’ we understand what they’re saying,” says Dr. Nadeau.

With these technologies, it is possible to treat the following conditions:
