How did i

get here?

Does saying the word clit make you blush? It's ok if it does. It was difficult for me to say it for the longest time, especially when trying to describe to the doctors what was happening. But now, with all I've been through, it's no big deal. Clit this. Clit that. Let's normalize talking about the female anatomy.

My clit swelled, at its worse, to the size of three grapes. There, I said it. It's vulnerable. It's awkward, especially knowing family members are reading this. But most importantly, it's empowering!

After recently undergoing life-saving surgery, I still question why I went through this. It's hard for me to believe that it was all for nothing. So, What The Clit?? was born. A story to relate to others who are dealing with chronic pain that no one can see, a place where people can come for resources and inspiration.

It's lonely dealing with chronic pain and not understanding why or what it even is or even if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I searched for hours, months and even years and found no one else in a similar situation. Just know other people can sympathize. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Start here:

If you are experiencing vulvar or unusual pain in the vaginal region and have had no luck with general gynecologists, check out The Centers For Vulvovaginal Disorders. Dr. Goldstein and his team are amazing! This is not a paid advertisement. When I met Dr. Goldstein, he literally saved my life. He has offices out of Washington, D.C. and New York. There are resources on the website that can help you narrow down what you are experiencing. He takes his time, listens to you and is empathetic. Start here for your journey to recovery.  

More information will be added soon. in the meantime, join my newsletter to learn more about my story, inspiration and hope.

what I am not:

In no way, shape or form am I a medical doctor capable of giving medical advice. All I can do is share my story and how I found Dr. Goldstein and his team, who are able to perform medical procedures and give advice. He is the one that has helped me.

I am a doctorate of Organizational Leadership, not a gynecologist. If you have an immediate emergency, all your primary doctor or 911.
