Vaccine Time? Booster Time? How To Check The Recommendations

Image
By
Is it time to get a booster or time to get vaccinated? For the gynos we talk about not passing on STDs, but you don't want to pass preventable communicable diseases on to your sex partner either! These guidelines do change and travel plans and being around young children will alter the recommendations for each individual. Knowing what you need for a vaccination is important. For the most part you can track your vaccinations from medical records, your medical history, or blood testing. But if not sure, for the most part you can be re-vaccinated, it's not harmful for instance to get a repeat measles vaccine, and to some extend repeat doing may actually boost your immunity. Babies and young children have better immune systems than older adults so they gather more immunity than we do from a single shot and why the pediatricians are the main guardians of most vaccinations. You may have once contracted a disease or have been vaccinated and yet not test immune on a blood test.  Chicken pox is one of those conditions that many do not test immune to, and it is a recommendation to have the Varicella vaccine if you are not immune. Your neighbors have been protective of you because we have up until now enjoyed fairly comprehensive population immunity to certain diseases because of the completeness of vaccination. As myths regarding vaccination harms have seeped into a population who has not carefully researched vaccine benefits, we are more at risk than ever of contracting communicable diseases which up until now have been preventable diseases Your gyno hast to follow the CDC sites to keep up with the vaccine trends, and you should too if you want to know more, they have just released the new recommendations, discuss with your primary care providers but here are the links if you want to know more from the CDC Website as they say that each year, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) approves immunization schedules recommended for persons living in the United States. The adult immunization schedule provides a summary of ACIP recommendations on the use of licensed vaccines routinely recommended for adults aged 19 years or older. The adult immunization schedule is also approved by many medical societies including those listed on the CDC website: the American College of Physicians (ACP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM). For individual recommendations.

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...

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...

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...
