The Unmentionables: Embracing gynaecological wellness in young
women
Topics surrounding the female vagina can cause embarrassment and
discomfort for many young women. As a result, discussions and
awareness of gynaecological issues can be challenging for
them. It was also found that gynaecology wellness is not
addressed in Singapore’s school curriculum. There is generally
an insufficient open educational platform for young women to
equip themselves with knowledge to take charge of their
gynaecological health.
Through interviews with
gynaecologists from the KK Women’s and Children’s hospital, and
surveying young women about their thoughts on gynaecology
wellness, educational materials are designed to promote open
conversations about the topic. This provides accessible and
contemporary learning resources for young women to better take
charge of their own female hygiene and gynaecological issues.
