Medical Whistleblower: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know Is Hurting You | Dr Rachel Rubin

Women’s sexual health suffers from a systemic lack of medical education, leading to widespread misdiagnosis and preventable suffering. Urologist Dr. Rachel Rubin highlights that essential topics like the clitoris, menopause, and hormonal fluctuations are largely absent from medical training, resulting in only 1.7% of eligible women receiving necessary hormone therapy. Hormonal decline—often mismanaged or ignored—drives issues like low libido, painful intercourse, and recurrent urinary tract infections, all of which are frequently treatable with targeted interventions like vaginal estrogen or testosterone. Because penetration is not the primary source of pleasure for most women, the medical focus on male-centric anatomy and the lack of clitoral awareness further exacerbate the orgasm gap. Addressing these biological realities through informed communication and proper medical advocacy is essential for restoring sexual function, health, and overall quality of life.
