Trick or treat? 🎃 When it comes to breast health, the sweetest thing you can do is stay on top of your screenings. Our Halloween candy guide is all in fun, but the message is serious: if you notice a change, don’t play guessing games. Talk to your provider. 💗

Ending Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and Halloween week!) with a reminder: book your mammogram today.

10/16/2026

The reasons women give for putting off a mammogram are usually reasonable. They are also usually based on something that is not quite true.

The one we hear most: breast cancer does not run in my family. About 85 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history at all. Only 5 to 10 percent of cases are linked to an inherited gene change.

Today is National Mammography Day. If you are 40 or older and due, this is a good day to get on the schedule.

Together Stronger means none of this happens alone. Your care team, your family, your friends. Book your appointment, then ask one person to book theirs.

When breast cancer is found before it spreads outside the breast, the five-year relative survival rate is over 99 percent. Roughly two-thirds of cases are found at that stage, and screening is the reason.

If you are 40 or older and due for a mammogram, this is your reminder. If you are not sure whether you are due, that is a question for your next visit.

A PMOS diagnosis can lead to an immediate question: “Will I be able to get pregnant?”

PCOS/PMOS can interfere with regular ovulation and is a common cause of fertility challenges, but it does not automatically mean you are infertile.

Every patient’s reproductive health is different.

If pregnancy is part of your plans, talking with your OB-GYN early can help you better understand your cycle, health history, and options.

“Can I have PCOS if my periods are regular?” is a common question.

Potentially, yes.

Irregular or missed periods are one of the most recognizable signs of PCOS/PMOS, but diagnosis involves looking at the bigger picture.

If you’re experiencing persistent acne, changes in facial or body hair, scalp hair thinning, fertility concerns, or other hormonal symptoms, bring them up with your OB-GYN — even if your period arrives every month.

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.

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.

08/12/2026

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.

Pregnancy can turn even the calmest person into a late-night search expert.

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.
