❓Censored for saying… v***a❓
I recently tried to post on Google a short message about vulvodynia and va**nal pain. But my post was immediately removed.
🔹Not for being offensive.
🔹Not for spreading misinformation.
🔹But because I used the words v***a and va**na.
Words that describe parts of the body that half the population has.
Words we need to name in order to talk about real, chronic pain.
Words that should never be taboo - especially in healthcare.
And it’s not just Google. On many social media platforms, posts that include female anatomical terms are shown to fewer people.
The algorithms treat women’s health like a violation.
If these terms make a system uncomfortable, that’s exactly why we need to say them louder.
Because the silence around v***ar and va**nal pain is part of what keeps people suffering quietly, often for years.
So here I am, saying it again:
Vulvodynia exists. Vulvar and va**nal pain is real. And it deserves real care.
✨Let’s change that.
✨Let’s name the pain.
✨Let’s talk about vulvodynia — without shame, without censorship.
