We often hear about how to keep the many systems of our body healthy, but vulvar health is rarely discussed. Just like cardiovascular health or mental health, vulvar health matters. However, many people aren’t aware that taking care of your vulvar health not only includes your physical self, but also your attitudes and beliefs, and your sexual relationships.
This free event “Taking Care of Down There: Let’s Talk about Vulvar Health” is a community panel that will bring together speakers with different areas of expertise in vulvar health. These talks will cover physical, mental, sexual, and social aspects of vulvar health, and we will end the event with a Q & A period with the speakers. Come join in the conversation and learn more about vulvar health!
