Medical Mystery

“If you feel the pain is abnormal, you don’t have to rationalize it— you can just ask for help.” - Yancy Chery This week, I am joined by a multidisciplinary artist and educator in intimacy, relationships, and sex Yancy Chery. Yancy shares the importance of validating the pain she felt and trusting her body when it signaled to her that something was abnormal. She tells us about how her paralyzing abdominal pain sent her into a state of panic and how the nervousness and hysteria of the people around her simply exacerbated the situation. After being rushed to the hospital doctors couldn’t identify the cause of the pain and sent her home with a prescription for Naproxen. Shockingly, Yancy later learns that her pain may have been caused by a double ovarian cyst rupture and that this phenomenon was “common” amongst many women. Without the proper sexual and reproductive education, many women can suffer from anxiety caused by the lack of information about their bodies. Many women may also learn to minimize their pain caused by the fear of drawing too much attention to themselves forcing them to push aside their own pain to console the people attempting to console them. Let’s normalize sexual and reproductive conversations with our family and friends. It can legitimately save lives.
