Dr Juana Hutchinson-Colas Dr Juana Hutchinson-Colas joins our host again for the final episode of this 3 part series. The two doctors begin their discussion with the topic of prolapse. Dr. Hutchinson-Colas explains to listeners a conservative approach to prolapse, a pessary. This silicon device is recommended to many of her patients due to its easy fit and care. She then goes on to explain two types of surgeries (reconstruction and obliterative) that she performs when necessary. This episode also includes the topics of grafts in the vagina, transgender surgeries, and female genital mutilation. Dr. Hutchinson-Colas strives to assist all of her patients to be their best selves. In order to do this she provides surgeries, including phalloplasty surgery. Dr. Sogade finishes the episode by asking Dr. Hutchinson-Colas about her role in advocacy for women. She encourages listeners to be an advocate in their environment, especially for the ones who don’t have a voice! She says that you can’t do it all, but you can find your area! #prolapse #pessary #Reconstructionsurgery #vaginalmesh #vaginalgrafts #phalloplasty #advocacy #womenshealth #Obliterativesurgery #womanadvocacy Timestamps (01:30) Prolapse (01:50) Conservative approach to prolapse (03:15) Surgeries for prolapse (05:20) Grafts in the vagina (06:00) Mesh grafts (10:00) Transgender surgery (12:10) Gender dysphoria (14:30) Phalloplasty (14:55) Female genital mutilation (17:55) Advocacy for women
