Every year, the 10th of September marks International Gynecological Awareness Day, a movement started by Kath Mazzella, a courageous vulval cancer survivor. Her mission is just as inspiring as it is noble: to revolutionize the global landscape of gynecological and sexual health, one step at a time, and thus to ensure that women do not only survive, but they thrive.
It is worth sharing how this remarkable idea became a reality. After her surgery, Kath noticed that women hesitated to discuss matters related to their intimate health, and this silence had left countless women suffering in solitude. Determined to break the cycle, Kath took a unique approach: she decided to place an advertisement in a local women’s magazine, bravely sharing her own experiences.
This small, yet courageous step in the right direction, opened doors to a community of women who had faced similar challenges and allowed them to unite. Eventually, Kath’s idea evolved into a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization, dedicated to women’s health. International Gynecological Awareness Day stands as a testament to the power of one person’s vision and the strength of a community united by a common cause. And in today’s world, it serves as a powerful reminder that the most sensitive topics, such as infertility, should never be shrouded in silence, but rather, they should be met with openness, empathy, and support.
In honor of the remarkable initiative that is International Gynecological Awareness Day, we’d like to dedicate this blog to a subject close to every woman’s heart: the importance of going for regular checkups at the gynecologist. In today’s day and age, it’s all too easy to neglect our health, but we must forget that annual checkups serve as a compass to ensure that we stay on the path of well-being.
The question that often arises is: how do we choose the right gynecologist? The answer isn’t always clear as we must keep in mind that they become our confidante in all intimate health related matters. We must also look for someone who not only has a ton of experience in their field, but also inspires trust in us in the way they treat us as patients. There could be instances, like not being able to get pregnant, when you face concerns that are beyond their scope, so in such cases, it could be a better idea to reach out to a fertility clinic directly.
