A message from Hyivy Health CEO
I have always experienced pelvic health issues, from surgery for endometriosis to pelvic floor therapy sessions for PTSD after a treatment for a bartholin's gland issue, my world has always seemed to challenge me when it came to pelvic health, positive sexual experiences and an overall feeling of being 'healthy'. My pelvic health reached its ultimate test in May of 2019 when I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer at the age of 28. As if the challenges of fighting a cancer battle weren't enough, I found out the after effects of my treatment would make me infertile, throw me into early menopause and severely impact my health for the rest of my life.
I came up with the idea for Hyivy Health while on bed rest after my hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy. I had joined an amazing group of 10,000 women who share their direct experiences with cancer aftercare and would help answer questions, share stories or helpful tips to get through the tough times. Many of them had shared the downfall of cancer treatments on their ability to be intimate and the direct impact it was having on their overall health, well being and relationships. I knew something needed to be done. Once I started my radiation, I had the unique opportunity to talk to doctors every day when I came in for my treatments to validate the idea for Hyivy clinically. The rest is history!
Women need trustworthy, informative, comfortable and safe set of products that are built with them in mind at a time when they are most fearful and vulnerable. Your concerns, stories and experienced have not gone unnoticed by our team and we have seen the gaps and inconsistencies in research, attention and understanding of the complexities of pelvic health issues for women.
Its time to change this narrative and give our pelvic health the attention it deserves.
