Maybe it’s time to stop suffering 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m amazed all the time at the suffering women tell me they have just adapted to, dealt with, lived through.. There are so many ways to improve periods and bleeding profile, don’t just power through if your cycle is negatively impacting your life!

What did you find out later wasn’t “normal” after all?

Just an OB/GYN with some lunchtime thoughts ✨

I feel like if over-the-counter medication‘s have warning labels on when to see a doctor, period products should too. It’s time to stop normalizing massive blood loss each month. If your periods are soaking through super plus and ultra products routinely, this is something worth talking to your doctor about.

..and her scar is SO CUTE 🎀

Hysterectomy for younger women is often frowned upon, I think because society values women for their childbearing potential. But if you are done child bearing, or you’ve never wanted to carry a pregnancy, and you have significant quality of life and health issues because of your uterus, choosing definitive management is OK.

Hi, I’m Cali Buckheit, a board-certified OB/GYN. I love sharing evidence based women’s health information, and challenging the idea that women’s suffering is normal. I hope this account helps women suffer less 🤍

OK, this low-key shocked me.

Today, a member of my OR staff asked how a 31-year-old patient was going to be OK after her hysterectomy.

The answer? Because we left her ovaries. ✨

A hysterectomy removes the uterus (and cervix, usually). It does NOT automatically mean removing the ovaries!

Keeping the ovaries means patients can continue producing hormones normally and do not go into surgical menopause.

And if a medically trained healthcare worker wasn’t aware of that distinction, there’s a good chance a lot of people on the internet aren’t either. 😬

So here’s your reminder:

✨ Hysterectomy ≠ menopause.
✨ Hysterectomy ≠ o***y removal.
✨ Hysterectomy can be the right choice for some women, even at a young age 🤍

XOXO, hope this helps. 😘 your go-to gyno

This is why I am so passionate about working up abnormal uterine bleeding! Important things to rule out, understand and treat. Heavy periods, irregular bleeding, significant pain, these are not just “part of being a woman” or symptoms you should simply “push through.” It’s important to understand WHY your bleeding is the way it is, and to exclude worrisome causes, like uterine cancer.

Big picture, this is how I work up and thinking about treatment options for abnormal uterine bleeding. So much more I could talk about, this is one of my absolute favorite topics. Drop the treatments you want to hear more about in the comments and I’ll make a video! Xoxo, 😘
