As a board-certified OB/GYN and as a mother of a child with autism who is able to critically evaluate the medical literature, I am both ethically and morally obligated to set the record straight. ~ Nadine Antonelli, MD, FACOG

What is the BEST birth control option for women?🥇The “best” method is different depending on a woman’s previous history, her current symptoms, her desires for any future attempts at childbearing and her individual preferences. Our role as women’s healthcare providers is to educate and empower women to make the best decision for themselves. You can’t do that without asking the right questions and listening.

The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) has made the critical decision to no longer accept federal funding under the current administration in order to protect their ability to provide timely and evidence-based guidance and recommendations for medical care.

May be the first physician organization to divest from federal funds this way

Today’s FDA panel on SSRIs in pregnancy lacked balance and failed to reflect the evidence. Untreated depression and anxiety can lead to serious health risks for pregnant patients. SSRIs can be lifesaving and life-changing. Patients deserve access to evidence-based, compassionate care. ACOG will continue to advocate for research and safe mental health treatment in pregnancy.

Hair doesn’t like change! There are multiple factors to consider when women complain of sudden hair loss including underlying medical diseases (thyroid disease, PCOS, adrenal hyperplasia, autoimmune disease), rapid weight loss, medication side effects, stress, nutritional deficiencies and genetics. The most common cause of hair loss in my population is a response to fluctuations in hormones. This is seen postpartum, when women go on and off hormonal contraception and certainly during the menopausal transition. This issue is very complex and is often best addressed by scheduling a separate visit to your gynecologist, endocrinologist or dermatologist to discuss fully. Don’t wait till your annual gynecologic wellness, physical or skin check with your dermatologist to voice your concerns. We want to give this concern the attention it deserves! 💇‍♀️❤️

Actually…..testing hormone levels during perimenopause can be very misleading and often downright frustrating. 🤔 The signs and symptoms that women experience over days to weeks due to the relative shifts of their reproductive hormones can not be captured by a “snapshot” taken on a single day. Unless you’ve had a hysterectomy (but retained your ovaries) OR you no longer have me**es due to an endometrial ablation or an IUD, we usually learn SO much more from talking to you about your symptoms and menstrual patterns. That is not to say we *never* check hormones. It just is not routinely done because it is not usually helpful. For many, it also unnecessarily increases out of pocket costs for healthcare without adding anything to guide decision making. Still have questions? Just ask us!
