The latest episode of the “MedChat” podcast, “Common Issues in Women’s Health” is now available.

Often times, when female patients seek medical attention it is either for a specific complaint or their annual wellness exam. It is recognized that there are key issues affecting women’s health that can be overlooked if practitioners do not evaluate or address them at this time, including heart disease, mental/emotional distress, etc.

This program discusses:

• The role of the Well-Woman Chart in the annual exam
• Common causes of pelvic pain, evaluation and management of pelvic pain; e.g. endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fibroids.
• The latest recommendations for the treatment of menopausal symptoms.
