Gynecologic and Sexual Heath Is Maintained By Keeing Your Core Healthy and Strong

Our "core" is defined from the pelvic floor to the rib cage. Your gynecologic health is thus intertwined with your core health. Basically working on core strength stabilizes your pelvis, your back, your abdominal muscles and can enhance sports fitness, sexual health, and the everyday calisthenic tasks including lifting and dishes! The interlacing muscle groups including those s of the pelvic floor, those that wrap around your spine and abdomen, all function together so well that research shows that one single element of the core is 'the most important' component. They all need to be strong! Various core exercises can work to improve your strength and mobility. These exercises will improve your posture, and your posture needs to be maintained to help keep your pelvis healthy. The special way that Pilates has you breathe and suck in the abdomen can recruit little used internal muscles and help you relax the sacroiliac joint. Some women with chronic pelvic pain have tension and spasm of the muscles around the sacroiliac joint, and using proper form to relax this joint can help significantly with pelvic floor health. It's important for a woman to have her spine and pelvis properly aligned. Strength is not maintained if the core is misaligned, but exercising your core can help to straighten the alignment. Data has shown less pain with sex, less pain of endometriosis, fewer menstrual cramps all occur with core health.
Improving your alignment and making your core healthy will pay off in the gym, and at the gynecologist! So next time you are evaluating your fitness routines and classes, don't forget your core!

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

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

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

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...
