Infertility
Hello! Dr. Jenkins here to discuss infertility. This is a topic that brings about a lot of stress and anxiety for many women. We spend much of our teens, 20s, and often early and mid-30s trying to prevent pregnancy.
What is a Midwife?
I’ve had a few questions from patients and their support people regarding what a midwife is and the role of a midwife in pregnancy and birth care. I’m hoping this FAQ will help answer those questions!
Libido
Dr. Jenkins here to discuss a very important issue in women’s health- Libido! I hear frequently from women who are concerned regarding a lack of desire for sex (aka Libido).
Menopause – Is it Hot in Here?
Hello! Dr. Jenkins here to discuss menopause and perimenopause! Menopause is the “pausing” (or more accurately the ceasing) of menstruation.
Abnormal Bleeding
Dr. Jenkins here to talk about one of the most common issues we deal with as gynecologists- abnormal bleeding and periods! First, for reference the “normal” menstrual cycle is 24-38 days.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
It’s Dr. Jenkins again, this time talking about polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS. PCOS is one of the most common conditions we treat in gynecology. It is an incredibly complex syndrome with significant health implications.
