Abnormal bleeding is one of the most common reasons women stop using the etonogestrel implant—even though it is one of our most effective contraceptive options.

The IMPLANET trial provides strong evidence that a short course of Norethisterone Acetate (10 mg daily) can safely and effectively stop prolonged bleeding in implant users. In this randomized controlled trial, nearly 9 out of 10 women stopped bleeding within 7 days, compared to less than half who received placebo. Bleeding also stopped faster, giving women more bleeding-free days in the first month.

Importantly, the treatment was well-tolerated, used in a simple outpatient setting, and supports better counseling, continuation, and confidence in implant use. While bleeding may recur later, this approach offers a practical, evidence-based option to manage a common concern—helping women continue a method that works.

AMC-B Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Christmas Party 2025🎄

From fun gift exchanges and mini door prizes to sumptuous meals and heartfelt conversations, the celebration reminded us of the strength of our community. We sincerely thank our consultants for their continued guidance, wisdom, and commitment to teaching our residents.

As we look forward to the coming year, we pray for another fruitful and abundant season of learning, collaboration, and steadfast support for the programs of our department.

Our heartfelt appreciation to our OB-GYN resident, Dr. Toni Marie H. Chavez, for her outstanding effort, perseverance, and commitment in presenting this unique case entitled, “Ascending Paralysis Revealing Metastatic Uterine Sarcoma.” Indeed, not all neurologic symptoms are neurologic in origin, and not all gynecologic symptoms follow the same rules—a reminder of how humbling and complex our work can be.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to her mentor, Dr. Martha Isabel Parroco, for her guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support.

Above all, we thank God for His goodness, strength, and grace that continue to sustain and empower us in every challenge and victory. To God be the glory!

FOUNDATIONS OF EXCELLENCE: The pillars behind the white coats.

Here are the active and visiting OB-GYN consultants of Adventist Medical Center–Bacolod — a powerful collective of mentors, teachers, and servant leaders who embody both wisdom and compassion.

These are they who shape, sharpen, and inspire our residents to become not just skilled physicians, but purpose-driven OB-GYN specialists anchored in integrity, faith, and patient-centered care.

To our beloved consultants — thank you for your unwavering support, your tireless teaching, and your silent sacrifices behind every successful rotation, case, and call.
You are the strength behind our Residency Training Program — and the reason we continue to grow, grounded and guided.

We look forward to your continued partnership as we raise up the next generation of OB-GYNs — who will carry your legacy and exceed it.

🧠💥 BATTLE OF THE BRAINLESS 2025 💥🧠
Where viral reel lines meet medicine, and learning comes with laughter and friendly chaos!

Our post-graduate interns took on the ultimate OB-GYN quiz bowl challenge — from fill-in-the-blank reel lines 🤯 to case-based MCQs that had everyone rethinking their life choices 😅. It was a full-blown intellectual rollercoaster… with zero chill but maximum thrill!

And yes — our top 3 winning teams went home with our now infamous, totally unforgettable, and proudly unique trophy 🏆 (don’t ask, just see it to believe it 👀🤣).

But here’s the best part:
Our OB-GYN residents were the ones who designed, led, and lit up the whole event. 💗
📍 AMCB OB-GYN Department — where learning is loud and laughter is encouraged. This might be your tribe! 😊

April 2025
From Bacolod to the World Stage!

We are beyond proud to celebrate the international milestone of our very own Level 1 OB-GYN Resident, Dr. Marc Vision Capunong, who presented his interesting case report titled
“Distal Vaginal Atresia: An Atypical Cause of Outflow Tract Obstruction”
at the International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) Congress in Japan — a prestigious platform for global reproductive health experts.

As if that wasn’t enough, his paper has also been accepted for poster presentation at the upcoming RCOG World Congress in June 2025.
What an extraordinary achievement for a first-year resident!

This is what happens when passion meets mentorship - equipping future leaders, researchers, and global contributors. Through strong academic grounding, supportive consultants (especially the mentor for this paper, Dr. Olive Lindero), the dynamic hands-on learning, and opportunities that reach far beyond our local borders, we shape doctors who make a difference.

To aspiring OB-GYNs out there: Let your training take you places. Let your journey start with us.❤️❤️❤️
