Medical Whistleblower: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know Is Hurting You | Dr Rachel Rubin
Dr. Rachel Rubin, a urologist, discusses her core topic: the massive failure of the healthcare system regarding women's sexual and hormonal health. Her primary message is that doctors are inadequately trained to help women, despite effective and affordable solutions existing. She is "filled with rage" because this knowledge is not being shared.
🔬 HORMONE HEALTH: THE BIOLOGY BEHIND THE PROBLEM- Hormones are crucial: Contrary to popular belief, hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) are essential for women's overall health—from bones to the brain.
- Testosterone is not just a "male hormone": Women also produce testosterone, which is vital for libido, arousal, and orgasm. Levels begin to drop in the mid-30s.
- The birth control pill: It can cause a testosterone deficiency by shutting down the ovaries, potentially leading to a loss of libido.
- "Not Feeling Like Myself" (NFLM): Many symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or brain fog are often dismissed but can have hormonal causes.
- The clitoris is not taught: The word "clitoris" is not present on the training checklist for OBGYNs in 2026. The vulva and female sexuality are also not mandatory subjects.
- The orgasm gap: Women orgasm far less often than men. The cause is often a lack of education—many believe orgasm comes from penetration, but the clitoris is the key.
- Pain during sex: Up to 75% of women experience pain at some point. Yet, it is rarely investigated (e.g., clitoral adhesions = fusing of the clitoral hood).
- The solution: Education and communication: The key lies in understanding one's own anatomy and talking openly with one's partner.
- Vaginal hormones (not systemic!): A miracle cure for UTIs, pain, dryness, and even improving arousal. Available as cream, tablet, or ring. The cream is inexpensive (around $14) and is over-the-counter in the UK.
- Pelvic floor physical therapy: Can help if the muscles are too tight or too weak.
- Scheduling sex: Contrary to the spontaneity myth, consciously setting aside time for intimacy (e.g., a quarterly date) can be helpful in stressful times.
- Stop focusing on your own penis performance (size, hardness, duration). This is not related to female pleasure.
- Be curious and ask questions: The most important question to ask a partner is: "What do you enjoy? What do you need?"
- Recognize two types of arousal: Men often have spontaneous arousal, while women are more responsive (reacting to the situation). This is normal.
- Shared responsibility: If a woman doesn't enjoy sex, it is rarely due to a man's inadequacy but often to unresolved medical or communication issues.
- Dr. Rubin's call to action: She fights so that every woman has access to this knowledge. The system fails, but science provides the answers.
- Urgent need for education: Society is in a sex recession, but through education and open conversations, this can change.
Core Message: Women's biology is real and important. Understanding it can revolutionize their sex life and overall health.
