In 2023, I met a new patient who needed to see a GYN provider ASAP. I had an opening in my schedule for a new patient that day. I walked into the patient room and met a young woman in distress. She had used “vaginal detox” products she purchased from a social media influencer who was apparently a “vaginal health expert”.

I searched the influencer on line and guess what? She had no medical training to warrant an expertise in female reproductive health! I was furious because the homemade product sold to my patient led to worst case of v***a ulcerations from inflammatory reaction. With no ingredients label, I had no idea what my patient had been exposed to!

Misinformation overload is why most medical doctors are showing up on social media platforms. Because unfortunately, the effects of medical misinformation and fear mongers can cost poor health outcomes or worse; LIVES!

Measles outbreak and how it affects pregnancy (now over 900 cases reported)

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses we know and also PREVENTABLE! It is airborne and can linger in the air for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves a room.

In pregnancy, you cannot get the MMR vaccine (measles vaccination). That means vaccination needs to happen before pregnancy.

In pregnancy, measles infection increases the risk of:
• Severe pneumonia
• Hospitalization
• ICU admission
• Preterm birth
• Low birth weight
• Miscarriage

It’s not usually linked to congenital birth defects but when a pregnant patient gets very sick, the unborn baby is affected too.

If a non-immune pregnant patient is exposed, we can give IVIG within 6 days of exposure but that’s damage control. Not prevention.

The safest time to protect a pregnancy from measles
is before conception. Community immunity also matters because it protects those that cannot get vaccinated.

Prevention is always ideal. Vaccination can save lives!

Medical training brings people from all walks of life together. Some leave a lasting impression (for better or worse).

But if you're lucky, you'll find sisterhood along the way! 🥰

As a practicing OBGYN, I don’t get triggered when physicians from other specialties call themselves women’s health experts.

This is why.

The female anatomy has other organs such as the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, muscles, bones etc (just like males) that need to function properly to sustain a healthy body.

The female reproductive system, although unique in its function, shouldn’t be the only focus when we talk about women’s health.

It is imperative that we start addressing women’s health issues from a broader lens rather than from a reproductive standpoint alone!

Women are more likely to die from a heart attack because symptoms are overlooked.

Women are more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s

Women are more likely to suffer from fractures associated with a diagnosis of Osteoporosis.

Cancer rates for women under 50 years have risen significantly!

And the list goes on.

So yes, as an OBGYN, I believe the conversation about Women’s health shouldn’t be limited to reproductive health.

Real question, do men in the work place get asked about their childcare situation as much as women?

Because as a working mom, this is a very common unsolicited question I get asked often. And it’s getting frustrating.

A woman’s decision to be a MOTHER with a CAREER should not be an invitation for society to question her capabilities or her commitment.

Trust me, the mom guilt still exist whether you are a stay at home mom or a working mom (I know because I have real life experience from both worlds)

Do what works for you and yours. Period.
