875 Dr. Maria Uloko: “If You Build It, They’ll ‘Come’

Why Your Gynecologist Doesn’t Understand Your Anatomy

It’s crazy to think how little women know about our own bodies. Worse still, to learn that most gynecologists don’t know all that much either. We trust doctors and yet most women are experiencing sexual health issues as they age – for no good reason.

Did you know some simple low dose topical vaginal hormones, with testosterone as well as estrogen, can make all the difference, even after menopause? No more dryness, UTIs or any pain during sex.

Dr. Maria Uloko is a world-renowned urologist and award-winning researcher on vulvar health who specializes in comprehensive sexual health for all genders, including the medical and surgical management of vulvar sexual dysfunction, vulvar sexual pain, low libido/desire, regenerative ED treatments, advanced erectile dysfunction, symptomatic menopause, atrophic vaginitis, urologic prosthetic surgery, Peyronie’s disease, and hormone replacement therapy.

She’s on a mission to empower women to take ownership of their sexual health, eliminate disparities of care between men and women, debunk misinformation, and implement systems that promote diversity and inclusivity. She’s also innovating the use of AI for vulvar diagnostics and education as the CEO and founder of VULVAi.

A fervent patient advocate, Dr. Uloko has channeled her passion for equity in healthcare into creating one of the first clinics in the United States specifically designed to treat female sexual dysfunction—a clinic that was also among the few to broadly accept insurance. This pioneering step reflected her belief in accessible, high-quality care for those she serves. Through her work, Dr. Maria Uloko not only contributes significant knowledge to her field but also actively breaks down barriers to care, ensuring that her patients receive the best treatment possible without financial strain.
