Pit bull PMS
And other issues I see every week.
So, my practice ranges from ages nine to 98.
I see women in all phases of their life, and I have a practice that deals with heavy periods, dysmenorrhea, Pit bull PMS, not just a little irritable, weepy, but I’m going to destroy my family, because my mood is so bad PMS the week before my period.
I see the women with heavy, irregular bleeding. Someone has told them they have PCOS, or they believe they have PCOS, and they don’t really understand what that means and how to manage it.
I have the women with horrible pelvic pain, non cyclic pelvic pain.
I have the women who are just struggling.
I have the woman who is perimenopausal, and no one believes that based on her age or laboratory evaluation, but the patient knows that her body is changing.
I get all the women who were warned against hormone replacement therapy, but realize they felt so much better before menopause, and they’re on inadequate hormone replacement therapy, or don’t believe they’re candidates for HRT.
I see older patients, my 70, 80, 90 year olds. As we age, it’s less about our cervix and pap smears and our obstetrics, but it’s much more about our bone density, our risk of breast cancer, the incontinence and women are kind of they hit 65 they are told “Well, you don’t need to see the gynecologist anymore”… which is appalling to me. It’s not like our lady parts fall off as we age. All cancers increase as we age. It doesn’t matter what cancer it is, your risk of breast cancer at 40 is one in 67 at 50, it’s one in 50. It’s 70, it’s one in 15. At 90, it’s one in eight. All cancers increase as we age. Our risk of fracture increases dramatically as we get older. And this isn’t necessarily something that either the OB GYN or the primary care doctor is really addressing in quite the same way that I can.
If you have raging Pit bull PMS or any issue that requires a GYN who deals with women of all ages, give us a call.
