This Women’s Day, we recognise that women’s health has been under-researched and under-prioritised for far too long.

At Amplexd, we are working to change that.

Because women deserve better options, better science, and better care.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was not writing metaphor.

She was documenting what happens when medicine responds to women’s pain by restricting their lives instead of investigating their bodies.

The rest cure treated suffering as a behavioural issue rather than a medical one. That mindset shaped care for generations and still influences how women with chronic pain are spoken to today.

Understanding this history is not about revisiting the past. It is about recognising patterns that still need to be broken.

If this made you pause, that reaction makes sense.

Many aspects of women’s healthcare were shaped long before patient experience was considered important.

Naming that history helps explain why certain patterns still exist today and how we can move forward more thoughtfully.

This is Part 1 of an ongoing series exploring what women were never told in the clinic. Each post builds on the last and adds context to women’s health care experiences that often go unexplained.

If you want to follow the rest of the series at your own pace, saving this will make it easier to come back as it unfolds.

Canada is often seen as a model for public health.

And in many respects - HPV vaccination, universal healthcare, organized cancer registries - it is.

But cervical cancer is not eliminated yet.

Recent trends show screening rates are slipping, and gaps remain for immigrants, newcomers, Indigenous communities, and remote populations.

If the country acts now - finishing the transition to HPV-based screening, scaling self-sampling, ensuring equal access to vaccination, and targeting outreach to underserved communities - it can transform prevention into elimination.

This is Part 5 of The Cervical Cancer Map: Country Files.

Join us as we explore what works, what must improve, and how every country has its own path to protective cervical health.

The United States has some of the strongest cervical cancer prevention tools in the world, yet thousands of women still fall through the cracks.

Why? Because having the science is not the same as having access.

Insurance matters. Geography matters. Trust matters.

The next phase of progress will not come from new technology.
It will come from closing the gaps that have been here all along.

The future of cervical cancer prevention in the US depends on:
• equal access to HPV vaccination,
• self-sampling options for women who avoid or cannot reach clinics,
• stronger community outreach,
• and systems that do not leave rural and minority women behind.

This is Part 4 of The Cervical Cancer Map: Country Files.

Follow us as we continue examining how nations can build lasting solutions for cervical health.

Bangladesh has shown how quickly things can change - with political will, community engagement, and public-health grit.

What’s happening now feels different.

The size of the challenge remains large, but the tools to fight it are finally being used at scale: HPV vaccination reaching millions, awareness spreading beyond cities, and civil-society and global partners working together.

If Bangladesh keeps building on this momentum, 2026 could mark the beginning of a sweeping shift - from reactive care to preventive care.

From stigma and silence to empowerment and hope.

We’re watching closely because this story could become a blueprint for other low- and middle-income countries seeking to end cervical cancer once and for all.

This is Part 2 of The Cervical Cancer Map: Country Files - where data, commitment, and community come together for real change.

Follow us for more global insights, evidence-driven comparisons, and science-rooted solutions for cervical health.

2025 taught us that breakthroughs don't happen in straight lines - they happen in the messy middle, in the moments when giving up seems easier than pushing forward.

As we step into 2026, we're carrying forward everything we learned: the resilience, the setbacks that became redirections, and the conviction that women's health deserves better.

To everyone who believed in Amplexd's mission this year - thank you. To the women we're building for - we're just getting started.

Here's to a year of progress over perfection, innovation over comfort, and solutions that actually reach the people who need them.

Happy New Year from all of us at Amplexd. Let's make 2026 count. 🎆

Most women have never seen a diagram of their cervix, yet it's one of the most critical organs for reproductive health, pleasure, and overall wellbeing.

We're changing that. Because you can't advocate for an organ you don't understand.

The cervix isn't just the "neck of the uterus" - it's a transformative structure that changes throughout your life, protects your reproductive system, plays a role in fertility and delivery, and for many, contributes to sexual pleasure.

Yet basic cervical anatomy is rarely taught beyond clinical settings.

This matters because when abnormal Pap results come back, when HPV is detected, when treatment decisions need to be made - understanding what's actually happening in your body changes everything.

Knowledge transforms fear into agency.

At Amplexd, we're developing treatments for cervical precancers, and we believe informed patients make better health decisions. Starting with knowing exactly what and where your cervix is.

Swipe through to meet an organ you've had your whole life but might never have truly understood 👉

At least 40 percent of women will be infected with high risk HPV at some point in their lives. Our founder was one of them.

High risk HPV has the ability to transform healthy cervical epithelial cells and progress to cervical cancer if it is not identified and treated in time.

When she received a diagnosis of carcinoma in situ in 2008, access to clear information about HPV and cervical dysplasia was extremely limited.

What she did find often left her more overwhelmed and confused.

After a series of biopsies, her physician told her that the dysplasia had been caught just before becoming invasive cancer. Had another six months passed, the outcome could have been very different. But she did not feel lucky.

She felt alone, helpless, and anxious.

As she waited for surgery over the next several weeks, the panic only intensified.

At the time, very few people talked about the emotional and psychological toll of cervical dysplasia, even though fear, uncertainty, and grief are normal reactions to a condition that sits in a confusing space between infection and cancer.

In the years since, more researchers have begun to study the psychosocial burden of cervical dysplasia. More women have shared their experiences publicly.

And we are grateful for this shift, because no one should have to navigate this journey in silence.

To anyone who has walked or is walking a similar path, we want you to know this clearly. You are not alone. If you have questions, need information, or simply want someone to listen, reach out to us. We take this mission personally.

The flying uterus myth reveals something darker than medical ignorance - it reveals how pseudoscience gets weaponized to maintain control.

Victorian doctors had access to basic anatomy. They knew uteruses don't detach.

But the myth served a purpose: keeping women confined to domestic spaces while men monopolized emerging industries, travel networks, and economic opportunities.

"Medical concern" became the socially acceptable way to enforce social hierarchy.

What's chilling is how little the tactic has changed. Today's version swaps "too delicate for trains" with "too variable for research" - different words, same gatekeeping function.

When 80% of autoimmune disease patients are women but research funding flows to male-dominant conditions, that's not coincidence.

When pain reporting by women is consistently dismissed as psychological while identical complaints from men trigger diagnostic workups, that's not medicine - it's pattern continuation.

At Amplexd, we recognize this history because it shapes present-day obstacles.

Regulatory pathways weren't built with women's health innovation in mind.

Reimbursement models don't account for gender-specific interventions.

Changing this requires more than good science - it requires dismantling systemic assumptions about whose bodies deserve centered attention.
