A small group of Canadian doctors specializing in women's sexual health are addressing the lack of support for common issues like low libido, difficulty achieving orgasm, and pain during intercourse. These doctors, trained by the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, are working to overcome cultural shame and knowledge gaps about female anatomy. Despite the demand for such services, access remains limited, with clinics often overwhelmed by patient referrals. Treatments include medications like flibanserin and non-medical tools such as clitoral suction devices.
