Dry Nipple Skin, Worse In Winter

By
Although it is possible this can be a bacterial or yeast infection, it is just dry skin. For most women soaps and lotions are more drying than just washing with plain water. If your nipple looks dry, see your gyno to be checked, and she can discuss optimal nipple skin regimens that will help cur this condition.

    My left nipple looks like this. Is it most likely dry skin? It doesn't hurt, it's just sensitive but it's probably because I'm pregnant?

    Pregnancy can increase nipple dryness, yet it is still a good idea to get your obstetrical provider to look at your nipples before suggesting therapy. Thanks.

    Are you sure it's not an infection, because I have the exact same condition but it's all over my right nipple and I'm 16 and not breastfeeding.

    I'm scared that all of the yellow and green scabs are gonna fall off and most of my nipple will be gone. If that scenario happens, will that make me unable to breastfeed in the future?

    This is an informational blog, please take specific physical exam and health questions to a health care provider as this site provides no diagnosis or individual treatment. Most breast skin conditions are treatable and do not prevent healthy breastfeeding in the future. We welcome new patients at womenshealthpractice.com.

    It's very important to keep your skin clean and don't use heavy oil based makeup. Let your skin breath by periodically taking a break from wearing makeup. Be careful not to use too much perfume. Flaky Skin on Face

    It is important for women to have any significant skin changes evaluated by a medical professional. Medical professionals can determine if a particular condition is in fact cancer. It is important to remember that sun exposure can cause many skin conditions, even of the nipple. At Hadacm.com we recommend using our sun screens for the best protection.

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

By
Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously.  It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods  Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

By
Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

By
If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...
