Anyone want to send me to Canada next year?

1. Please don’t ever tell a woman she needs to have a labiaplasty UNLESS she has a medical reason or severe rubbing of tissue 2. Even telling a woman “whoa, your labias are long... there’s surgery for that, can have bad, long-lasting effects. I’ve seen this!

Yes!! Women’s healthcare IS healthcare!

Have OVARY Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.

OMG. This. Is. Huge. Finally more of this! Standardized education for all OBGYNs on pelvic floor muscles! Development of a standardized, reproducible screening examination for assessment of pelvic floor myofascial pain. It’s taken a long time to get m…lnkd.in/e_-4a9T

“There is NO convinced evidence to support the benefits of using magnetic stimulation in the treatment of #pelvicfloordysfunction” Pan et al 2019 Neurourol Urodyn To those of you charging people to sit on a chair for pelvic floor help - stop selling BS. #pelvicfloor

In a study of women with lower back pain, there was a component of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. We don’t know if one causes the other, but there is a strong relationship. It is necessary for those who have tried PT to consult with a pelvic floor PT. #IPPS2019 #pelvicaware

“Posterior”, “apical”, “voiding”, “cystoscopy” “urethra”, “fecal”, “incontinence”, “sexually active” “atrophy” “Sling” “sacrum” “ligament in your pelvis” are all things they have almost no idea what we are saying because most women know so little about their vaginas at baseline

I am firmly convicted that #OBGYN residency should include *at least* a few days or a week with a #PelvicFloorPT. How many patients could avoid unnecessary surgery, losing organs unnecessarily, years of suffering ...with a knowledgeable exam and appropriate referral? #pelvicpain

Yes!!

That erectile dysfunction medication is covered by insurance to make penises work into old age, but a complimentary female medication, vaginal estrogen cream, is NOT covered by insurance, creates a wildly unequal situation for unlubricated women and their Viagra-ed partners.

To the people “upset” over the declining birth rate: this is a wake up call to the fact that women realize society doesn’t provide an iota of support for what mothers need, and are unwilling to pay the exorbitant personal price of becoming one. Sounds like there is work to do.

Common things people don't yet appreciate. Up to 15% of women with dysmenorrhea experience symptoms of sufficient severity to cause absenteeism from work, school, and other activities. That's 20 million women in the US. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24284871/

Public Urogynecology service announcement for anyone who holds their pee all day at their job: Stop 🛑 that right this minute unless you want to be straight-cathing your floppy atonic bladder at 60! ✋

Myth: "My periods are so painful that I miss a couple days of school each month. Sometimes I think about calling 911 because of the pain. My doctor said this was normal and I'd grow out of them." 😱😱😱 THIS IS NOT NORMAL. 🧵 #MedTwitter #obgyntwitter #tweetorial
