Friends of Franz Podcast S2 E7: Urine Good Hands with Dr. Fenwa Milhouse (Your Favorite Urologist)

According to Mayo Clinic, about 50% of women suffer from urinary incontinence, the inability to control urination voluntarily. However, only 25-61% of affected women discuss this problem with their healthcare providers. The resistance to sharing these urologic issues, both men and women, stem from shame and fear of judgment. This also stands true for other medical issues confined within the intimate parts of our bodies, including sexual dysfunction (whether it be low libido and premature ejaculation) and anatomical conditions (like uterine prolapse). Today, with empathy and compassion, we bring to light the pertinent issues "down there" that one may usually hide and fear.

We are joined today by Dr. Fenwa Milhouse, a board-certified urologist, pelvic surgeon, and sexual health specialist. She currently stands as the attending physician and CEO of Down There Urology, PLLC, and has been appointed to the board of the Chicago Urological Society. Dr. Milhouse also utilizes social media to destigmatize sexual conditions and demonstrate the importance of representation in medicine, on which she has garnered over 100,000 followers. She has also been featured in articles by Insider, WebMD, and The American Urological Association.
