Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Protect Your Reproductive Health

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a serious infection of the female reproductive organs that can lead to infertility or chronic pain if untreated. It often develops when bacteria from an STI like chlamydia or gonorrhea spread to the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries.

Symptoms may include:
🩺 Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
🩺 Abnormal discharge or odor
🩺 Painful urination or s*x
🩺 Irregular bleeding
🩺 Fever or chills

Prevention tips:
✔ Practice safe s*x (use condoms)
✔ Limit s*xual partners
✔ Get regular STI screenings
✔ Avoid douching and scented vaginal products
✔ Schedule routine OB/GYN visits

At The Association for Women’s Health Care in Chicago and Northbrook, IL, our physicians provide compassionate diagnosis, treatment, and prevention guidance for PID. Don’t wait—protect your fertility and wellness.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus on early detection and proactive care. At The Association for Women’s Health Care in Chicago and Northbrook, IL, we encourage every woman to take charge of her breast health through awareness, education, and regular screenings.

Why it matters: When breast cancer is detected early and confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is about 99% (American Cancer Society). Regular mammograms and self-exams remain the best ways to detect changes early—when treatment is most effective.

Self-exam basics:
👀 Look for dimpling, swelling, or changes in shape.
✋ Feel your breasts in circular motions—standing or lying down—to detect any unusual lumps or texture changes.
Report any new findings to your provider promptly.

Most women should begin annual mammograms by age 40–45. Those with family history or genetic risk may need earlier screening.

Protect your health—schedule your mammogram today: https://chicagoobgyn.com/contact/

Preeclampsia: Warning Signs, Prevention & Management

Watch for:
• Severe or persistent headaches
• Vision changes or light sensitivity
• Swelling in the face or hands

Prevention & care:
Regular prenatal visits, managing chronic conditions, eating a balanced diet, and low-dose aspirin (if prescribed) can help reduce risk. Early detection and monitoring are key to protecting you and your baby.
