Let's Talk About Down There

The Pain Diaries: An Investigation into Teen Health and Mystery Aches


Listen Later

This week, Dr. Jen takes a call from her youngest caller ever and dives headfirst into the world of period pain, pelvic exams, and finding your voice in the doctor's office. She uncovers potential culprits behind the pain, from endometriosis to ovarian cysts, and you'll also gain valuable insights on what to expect during pelvic exams and how to advocate for yourself when facing dismissive doctors. Dr. Jen's empowering advice and no-nonsense approach will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and ready to take charge of your reproductive health. Tune in, and let's navigate the fascinating journey of puberty and beyond together!  

 

What’s going down: 

  • The useful significance behind the acronym FARCOLDER  
  • Common and not-so-common conditions associated with abdominal pain  
  • How to mentally prepare for your first pelvic exam  
  • What to do if you’re being dismissed by a healthcare provider  
  • Benefits of transparency and open communication between children and parents  
  • The various tests you might undergo with mysterious tummy pain  
  • Why the new law in Florida banning sex ed until the 6th grade is, clitorally, so dumb 
  •
