In this episode of the ISSM Podcast, host Dr. Tanginika Cuascud continues her conversation with board-certified urologist and sexual health advocate Dr. Fenwa Milhouse, exploring how cultural beliefs, social stigma, and healthcare disparities influence sexual health education and access to care.

Dr. Milhouse discusses the importance of understanding genital anatomy and using accurate terminology, highlighting how cultural taboos and limited education can prevent individuals from openly discussing their bodies and sexual health concerns.

Together, they examine the challenges faced by marginalized communities, including Black, Latino, and LGBTQ+ populations, and how discrimination, historical medical mistrust, and gaps in healthcare education can affect patient experiences and outcomes.
The conversation emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive communication, inclusive healthcare practices, and greater awareness of diverse patient needs. Dr. Cuascud and Dr. Milhouse highlight how education, representation, and open dialogue can help create more equitable, respectful, and accessible sexual healthcare for everyone.
