You’re sitting in front of the gyno and it’s hard to describe what you’re feeling. They don’t ask the right questions. You don’t have the answers.

Coming to the doctor prepared is an element we’ve never had.

It’s difficult to talk about pain specifically in the reproductive system, and as a result, it is often normalized and dismissed in the OB/GYN field. This can lead to misdiagnoses, miscommunication, and most commonly, inaction.

We are proud to introduce the Pain Perception Project, a patient-founded initiative producing various tools for better understanding pain, starting with a Pelvic Pain Assessment that helps folks effectively communicate with their doctors.
