In this episode, I discuss the lasting impact of childhood sexual abuse on adult women’s sexual health, intimacy, and experiences during gynecologic exams.
I explain how early sexual trauma can resurface years later as flashbacks during intercourse, distress during pelvic exams, or “body memories” triggered by medical procedures. Childhood sexual abuse is tragically common and often perpetrated by someone known to the child. The trauma can be compounded when a survivor is not protected or believed.
I share practical guidance for trauma‑informed gynecologic care — including recognizing signs of distress, stopping when needed, gently asking what a patient is experiencing, and returning control to her during an exam.
For survivors, I offer strategies for seeking therapy, advocating for supportive providers, and navigating intimacy with communication, consent, and agency.
If you are a survivor, a partner, or a healthcare provider, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope. Healing is possible.
