June 11, 2025 - 22:02

"My goal for a lot of the advocacy that I do is that one day patients don't have to do our jobs for us," states Dr. Maria Uloko. She emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced education surrounding female sexual dysfunction, a topic often overlooked in medical training and public discourse. Dr. Uloko believes that by empowering patients with knowledge, they can better advocate for their own health and well-being.

Despite the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among women, many healthcare providers lack comprehensive training in this area, leading to misdiagnoses and inadequate treatment options. Dr. Uloko argues that increasing awareness and understanding among both medical professionals and patients is crucial for improving outcomes. She advocates for integrating sexual health education into medical curricula and promoting open discussions about female sexual health in clinical settings.

By fostering a culture of awareness and support, Dr. Uloko hopes to break the stigma surrounding female sexual dysfunction and ensure that women receive the care they deserve.
