Blood stains were the first reason I resented my menstrual period. They were seemingly everywhere—bed sheets, passenger seats, and the jeans I wore. My period quickly became a dreaded week, making me believe this was the worst part of womanhood. Early in medical school, I joined a project to create 3D-printed models of female reproductive anatomy and pathology for medical education. This was accomplished by using MRI scans and 3D modeling software. The image shows the 3D-printed model of cervical cancer, a diagnosis that is almost entirely preventable today because of the HPV vaccine and Pap smears. But the disease burden still exists on a global level due to stigma, cost of screening, and poor health literacy. Over the past couple decades, the U.S. lowered its rate of cervical cancer. However, the current federal health department has made false claims about the safety of the HPV vaccine, with attempts to limit its uptake. Now, as I hold the model and when I see other medical students do the same, I am reminded that restricted access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare is a painful part of womanhood, far greater than the one brought on by period stains.
