For years, the discourse around women’s intimate wellness and health has been shrouded in taboo for the sake of social graces. Such treatments remain clandestine, leading many to resort to do-it-yourself solutions without professional guidance.
Villarin Aesthetic Gynecology (VAG) provides a safe space for women to address their intimate wellness concerns and engage in open, woman-to-woman conversations. Its founder, Dr. Mary Anne Villarin, pinnacles the importance of making informed and healthy decisions about one’s body, including prioritizing intimate care.
This Women’s Month, VAG Clinic forgoes harmful ideologies that demerit a body part society often refers to as a ‘cookie’.
Birthing VAG Clinic: Why Women’s Wellness Needs a Louder Voice
Misconceptions, as dangerously rampant as they are, stood as a primary reason for the birth of an aesthetic gynecology clinic in town.
For too long, intimate health concerns have been brushed aside as “just part of being a woman.” But Dr. Mary Anne Villarin believes it’s time to change that narrative.
When a middle-aged patient felt unable to control her urination during exercise or laughing, or when a long-term contraceptive user experienced discomfort from dryness in her intimate area, Dr. Villarin was struck by how these issues were often dismissed as ‘normal’.
Women suffer from concerns that are treated with indifference due to the lack of open conversations. This affects their confidence in wearing tight clothing or their ability to fully enjoy intimate activities.
Beyond Beauty: Treatments That Go Deeper Than Skin
From post-childbirth recovery to intimate rejuvenation, VAG Clinic offers science-backed solutions that help women feel good, function better, and move with confidence.
VAG Clinic offers a range of treatments, supported by revolutionary devices, to address women’s needs at every stage of life, including overall check-ups, childbirth, pregnancy, contraception, and menopause.
Pelvic rehabilitation is offered for women post-childbirth, for the repair of tissues altered during delivery. These treatments focus on strengthening pelvic muscles and vaginal tightening, addressing issues that are often overlooked but are common for new mothers.
Further, the clinic provides solutions for lightening darkened areas, hair removal, small varicose veins, and non-invasive treatments such as laser therapy, radiofrequency, and electromagnetic chair therapy for women seeking these services.
Beyond the confidence these treatments bring, often manifested in something as simple as wearing a bikini, they also empower women by enhancing the functionality that allows their bodies to move at their fullest potential.
Fact vs. Fiction: What You Should Really Know About Your Body
Virginity myths? Feminine wash misconceptions? The internet is flooded with misinformation—Dr. Villarin sets the record straight on what’s fact and what’s just outdated fiction.
Contrary to the common belief that bleeding determines a woman’s virginity – an idea that is, in fact, a social construct – the reality is quite different. Hymens can vary in thickness and elasticity, meaning some women may have thinner hymenal tissue or a larger opening.
These are commonly seen in women who exercise or use menstrual cups and tampons, none of which indicate the extent of impact the opposite organ supposedly has, despite what some might think.
For women who have included feminine washes in their self-care routine, it may not be necessary to maintain them as part of their hygiene.
According to Dr. Villarin, no feminine wash on the market effectively addresses most concerns. The key to maintaining vaginal health is balancing its natural pH, meaning that feminine washes should only be used for specific purposes and for a limited period of time.
Ultimately, when noticing symptoms of vaginal infections, the internet is not your friend. It’s best to consult your gynecologist, as attempting home remedies found online could make the situation more complicated.
The importance of debunking popular myths remains crucial for women to maintain healthier bodies. As long as we stay open to the plight of womanhood and the cycles that affect their intimate areas, such conversations eradicate unhealthy perceptions surrounding women’s wellness.
