  • I need advice on what to do?

    If you are bleeding at 1-2 pads per hour you should immediately go to the emergency department. Otherwise this is definitely worth a visit to your ObGyn. This could be endometriosis, fibroids or an entire host of treatable issues READ MORE

  • Burning pee after masturbation?

    I don’t have a purely scientific answer for this if there are no other variables, or unknown factors. When you orgasm, your pelvic floor muscles spasm to some extent and persistence or continuation of such spasm may play a role. I think the more important question is what are you using and or where are you when you are masturbating. Various creams lotions and or soap can irritate the urethra resulting in burning with urination. READ MORE

  • Question for an OB/GYN?

    You should pay out of pocket for a pelvic exam at an urgent care near by. Should be about 150$ depending on where you are. One of the most dangerous things that might be taking place is a vaginal cuff breakdown. Although this is less likely this far out it is not impossible. Once this is confirmed negative i would consider estrogen conversation READ MORE

  • Anterior Prolapse

    This is probably just prilapse of the vaginal wall. A physicians examination is required before making a definitive diagnosis. If this is the case it is OK to have intercourse. Consider that a babies head goes through the vagina during birth. The vagina is quite tough and difficult to damage. I hope this helps READ MORE

  • Can fibroids recur after a surgery?

    The answer is yes. Some studies show that up to 30% of fibroids reoccur after surgery. The best plan is to have the fibroids removed around the time of desired pregnancy. This way if they reoccur, assuming you have had all the children you desire, you can move towards a more definitive treatment without fear of reaccumulation of fibroids or consequences of pregnancy with fibroids.
