🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from OBGYN Associates!
Our office is closed today as we celebrate Labor Day with our families.

Of course, there’s one kind of “labor” we never take a day off from! If your little one decides today is the day, head to Madison Hospital, where we will be ready to welcome you and your baby. 👶

Wishing all of our patients and families a safe and happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

An unpredictable period. Acne that won’t clear. Changes in hair growth. Trouble getting pregnant.

Individually, these symptoms may seem unrelated. Together, they can sometimes be signs of PCOS, recently renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS.

PCOS/PMOS can affect reproductive, hormonal, and metabolic health, and symptoms can look different from person to person.

If you’ve noticed changes that don’t feel normal for you, start the conversation with your OB-GYN.

Learn more about PCOS/PMOS symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment on our website https://obgynalabama.com/blog

Pregnancy comes with constant changes, and it is not always easy to decide whether a symptom is expected.

A mild symptom that resolves may be common. A sudden, severe, persistent, or noticeably different symptom deserves attention. Bleeding, leaking fluid, significantly decreased movement from baby, severe headache, vision changes, chest pain, or difficulty breathing should be reported promptly.

Your obstetric team would rather hear from you and help determine the next step than have you ignore something that concerns you.

Questions about medications, exercise, travel, nutrition, fetal movement, and unfamiliar symptoms are a normal part of prenatal care. Recommendations can also change depending on your trimester, medical history, and how your pregnancy is progressing.

Save your questions in your phone as they come up and bring them to your next visit. When something feels concerning, contact your care team rather than waiting for your next appointment.

Heavy periods are common, but they should not control your life.

If you find yourself planning your day around your period, changing pads or tampons more often than usual, passing large clots, feeling exhausted from blood loss, or avoiding activities because of your flow, it may be time to talk with your OB-GYN.

Heavy bleeding can have many causes, including uterine fibroids. Fibroids are common, noncancerous growths that can lead to heavier or longer periods, pelvic pressure, bloating, and pain.

You do not have to “just live with it.” Your provider can help identify what is causing your symptoms and walk you through care options based on your health history, symptoms, and goals.

If your period is disrupting your life, schedule an appointment and get the answers you deserve.

There are many myths about fibroids, and misinformation can make it harder to know when to seek care.

The truth is, fibroids can look different for every woman. Some cause no symptoms at all, while others may lead to heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, bloating, pain, or changes that affect daily life.

Not every fibroid needs surgery, and treatment depends on your symptoms, health history, fibroid size and location, and personal goals.

If heavy bleeding or pelvic symptoms are interfering with your life, don’t ignore them. Your OB-GYN can help you understand what’s going on and what options may be right for you.
