Understanding Vulvar Disorders in Gynecology
Can a “normal” pelvic exam mask life-altering pain? On this episode of BackTable Women’s Health, host Dr. Karen Toubi interviews board-certified OBGYN Dr. Chailee Moss about why common vulvovaginal pain and skin conditions are frequently missed or dismissed as “normal” exams. Dr. Moss explores how gaps between gynecology and dermatology, limited training, and the under-recognition of non-life-threatening but highly morbid pain contribute to these diagnostic challenges, including mental health impact and even suicidality in some cases.
