Wearing yellow for the women who have been told “it’s normal” when it’s not. 💛

Endometriosis is real, it’s complex, and it deserves to be understood.

Heavy or prolonged periods aren’t always just part of your cycle. Bleeding that lasts longer than 7 days, requires frequent changes in protection, or disrupts your daily life can sometimes be a sign of an underlying bleeding disorder.

At Alaska Women’s Health, Dr. Beery partners with Shannon Norman, Medical Director of Alaska Bleeding Disorders, to provide evaluation and coordinated care for patients who may need a more specialized approach.

If something about your cycle doesn’t feel right, it’s worth starting the conversation. You deserve answers and care that takes your symptoms seriously. 💜

Advocating for women’s health beyond the exam room! 💜

Dr. Beery recently traveled to Washington, DC for the ACOG Congressional Leadership Conference, where OB-GYNs from across the country meet with lawmakers to discuss policies that impact women’s healthcare.

While there, she connected with members of Alaska’s congressional delegation to help elevate conversations around access to care, patient needs, and the future of women’s health.

We’re proud to have providers who not only care for patients here in Alaska, but also work to advance women’s health on a national level.

On average, it takes 7–10 years for someone with endometriosis to receive a diagnosis.

Part of the challenge is that symptoms can vary widely. Endometriosis doesn’t always appear on routine imaging, and painful periods are often dismissed as something women simply have to live with.

Diagnosis typically starts with a detailed conversation about symptoms, a pelvic exam, and sometimes imaging such as ultrasound. In some cases, laparoscopic surgery is the only way to confirm endometriosis.

If your symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it’s okay to ask questions, seek a second opinion, and advocate for yourself. You know your body best! 💜



At Alaska Women’s Health, we take pelvic pain seriously — and we believe women deserve answers, not years of uncertainty. 💛

Many women live with endometriosis symptoms for years before receiving answers.

One reason is that some of the signs can be subtle, or are often brushed off as “normal period pain.” But when symptoms begin to affect your daily life, work, relationships, or overall well-being, it’s worth paying attention.

Endometriosis can look different for everyone, which is why understanding the possible signs matters. If any of these feel familiar, it may be worth starting a conversation with your provider!

This month, we’re shedding light on endometriosis, which is a condition that affects millions of women, yet is often misunderstood or overlooked.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, which can lead to inflammation, scarring, and pain. For many women, it can show up as painful periods, pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, or fertility challenges.

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing more about endometriosis, including signs to look for, common questions women have, and when it may be time to talk with your provider. Understanding what’s happening in your body is an important step toward getting the care and support you deserve. 💜

This is why cervical cancer screening is so important! Routine Pap smears and HPV testing can catch changes early often before symptoms ever start. And when it’s caught early, it’s highly treatable.

“Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi revealed that she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer.

“My results came back for my cone biopsy, and it came back stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma. Obviously not the news that I was hoping for, but also not the worst news just because they caught it so early. Thank freaking God!"

That’s why I’m literally telling you guys to get your pap smears done. I’m 38 years old… and now look at me,” she said. “And instead of just putting it off because I didn’t want to go and it hurt and I was scared, no, I just went and did it. And it was there, cancer is in there. But it’s only stage 1 and it’s curable. So get your appointments done, bi***es! I’m telling you."
