Reclaiming Hysteria: The Urogynecologist Who Wants To Prescribe You A Vibrator

Although vibrators were invented by a doctor in the 1880s, they are rarely seen in medical offices, studied for their benefits, or mentioned as beneficial to one’s health. Fortunately, someone is out there to change that. Meet Dr. Karyn Eilber, the distinguished Cedars-Sinai urogynecologist who not only co-authored a study to make vibrators a part of a women's health treatment, but also co-founded and created Glissant, an FDA approved lubricant with ingredients that are actually GOOD for down there. In this episode of Down There With Liz, Liz and Dr. Eilber get into the world of possibilities. Listen in as they discuss everything from the word hysteria and vibrators, lube and skin care, blood flow and vaginal rehabilitation — and how she's on a mission to use her knowledge of all of them to improve sexual function for people with vaginas. Down There With Liz episodes are biweekly, launching on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.
