Doc said there aren’t a lot of nerve endings in my cervix so it shouldn’t hurt buuuuuut….. some facts: – The cervix is one of the only internal organs directly connected to the vagus nerve, which bypasses the spinal cord and goes straight to the brainstem (AKA parasympathetic nervous system) – This means cervical procedures can trigger full-body responses (fainting, nausea, dissociation, shaking). – It’s called a vasovagal reaction and NO it’s not “in your head” – This is unique to people with cervixes.. there’s literally no male equivalent to this experience. – Trauma-informed care is offered in the US, but isn’t accessible to most women since it’s not covered by most insurance companies. #vagusnerve #colposcopy #iudinsertion #leep #nervoussystem #womenshealth

No one talks about women’s health. But yeah, sure… let’s gut federal funding for public education and make it illegal to teach kids about their bodies
