Girls learn early that pain is just part of having a female body. Rugilė's work is about undoing that lesson. She earned her medical degree at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and later worked as an OB-GYN resident before fully dedicating herself to providing comprehensive, evidence-based information on female health. With both scientific and clinical experience in obstetrics and gynecology, Rugilė is devoted to advocating and empowering girls and women by fighting myths and stigma linked to female bodies.
Rugilė writes and reviews evidence-based health content, speaks publicly on women's health, and puts it plainly: knowledge is a human right.
People come to her for information on
- Period pain that keeps getting dismissed
- Endometriosis, and why it takes so long to name
- How periods actually work, and what's normal
- Contraception, and the myths attached to it
- Vaginal and intimate health, including infections
- Feeling at home in a body that gets judged
Make investing in relationships the norm.
