As part of our continued efforts to help educate our patients and women in general about their bodies, we’ve added a few articles to our women’s health knowledge center. You can now read three new guides to women’s health topics.
Common Benign Breast Changes
Finding a lump in your breast is always a cause for concern, and always requires an OB/GYN’s evaluation, but there’s no need to spend the days between discovering the lump and visiting your doctor in a panic.
Read about the multiple conditions that can cause benign breast lumps, how doctors treat these conditions and what you can expect after diagnosis.
Tracking Your Period and Why it’s Important
Do you track your period, or do you find yourself scrambling the day before your annual well woman care exam to remember the first day of your last menstrual cycle?
If you’re in the second camp, this article will help you understand the importance of tracking your period and the many benefits you receive from knowing the details, dates and symptoms of your menstrual cycle.
Even if you already track your period dates, though, you can still learn some other specific details to record which can help you know what’s coming when your monthly cycle hits.
Beyond Birth Control: Other Benefits of Oral Contraceptives
Did you know that the term “birth control” woefully under-represents what these hormone-regulating medications can do? In fact, the list of conditions that can be controlled and treated with oral contraceptives is far longer than you might imagine.
Birth control pills help everything from PMS symptoms to endometriosis. Read about some of these conditions and how oral contraceptives function as a medical treatment as well as pregnancy prevention.
