💡 Did You Know? Dr. C Edition
IUDs don’t just “sit there”—they actively work to prevent pregnancy in a few powerful ways.

The progestin hormone they release:
🔹 Thickens cervical mucus to block s***m from reaching the egg
🔹 Thins the uterine lining (endometrium), making implantation less likely

It’s one of the most effective and low-maintenance forms of birth control — over 99% effective and lasts for years.

Thinking about your options? Let’s find what fits you. 💕

Do you really need surgery—or can medication manage your symptoms? Here’s how to know.

In this episode, board-certified OB-GYN and minimally invasive surgeon Dr. Cheruba Prabakar (aka The Fibroid Doc) breaks down when it’s time to move from medical management to surgery for three of the most common GYN conditions: fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometriosis.

You’ll learn:
✅ When medications and IUDs are enough for fibroids—and when surgery is the best next step
✅ What size or symptoms make an ovarian cyst require removal
✅ Why endometriosis can go undiagnosed for years—and when surgery is truly life-changing
✅ The difference between watchful waiting and taking action
✅ Why minimally invasive (robotic/laparoscopic) surgery is the gold standard for faster recovery and fewer scars

Whether you’re struggling with pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, or fertility concerns, this video gives you a clear framework for deciding what’s right for you—without fear or confusion.

“Hormone therapy causes breast cancer.”
That belief is outdated and it’s time we set the record straight.

The average woman already has about a 12% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Adding hormone therapy increases that risk by only 0.0005 over five years, a number so small, it’s almost negligible.

Here’s the truth: the panic over hormone therapy largely came from misinterpreted data in the early 2000s. Newer, more accurate research has shown that the risks depend on the type of hormone, the timing, and the woman’s overall health, not the therapy itself.

For many women, the benefits of hormone therapy — better sleep, sharper focus, bone protection, and relief from hot flashes, brain fog, and vaginal dryness — far outweigh the risks.

Menopause care has evolved. You deserve up-to-date information and a treatment plan tailored to your needs, not fear based on old headlines.

Timing is everything and the truth might surprise you. ⏰

When started within 10 years of menopause, hormone therapy has been shown to lower health risks and enhance benefits like improved heart health, stronger bones, better sleep, sharper focus, and a brighter mood. This is what we call the “window of opportunity.”

But when it’s delayed, say, starting hormone therapy 15–20 years after menopause, that’s when potential risks like blood clots or heart disease can become more relevant. The key isn’t avoiding hormone therapy altogether, it’s using it strategically with the right timing, dose, and formulation under expert guidance.

Menopause is not the end, it’s a transition. With the right support, it can be a time of renewed strength, vitality, and balance. You deserve relief, and you deserve accurate information, not fear.

✨ Did You Know? ✨

A small 4 cm ovarian cyst can cause severe pain for one woman — while another may have a 15 cm cyst and not feel a thing. Every body is unique, and every experience is valid. 🧡

Pain, bloating, or changes in your cycle shouldn’t be ignored — they’re your body’s way of speaking to you.

If something feels off, trust your instincts and get checked. Early evaluation can make all the difference.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) isn’t just about “sensitive digestion.” It can swing between constipation and diarrhea, leaving many women thinking it’s just diet issues.

The truth: IBS is a real medical condition that deserves attention. A gastroenterologist can help uncover triggers, rule out other conditions, and create a plan that works for you.

Don’t ignore persistent symptoms—your gut health matters.
