MD For Moms Radio, Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, TuneIn and iHeartRadio or as a podcast on iTunes.
This week on MD for Moms, I’ll be interviewing minimally invasive gynecological surgeon Dr. Karen Tang about common causes of and treatments for period pain. This is a hugely important and relevant topic for many women who suffer each month from sometimes debilitating discomfort. We will discuss the common causes of period pain including fibroids and endometriosis, when to seek medical care and how these issues may impact fertility. We will also review how period pain commonly changes as women age and after having children. Dr. Tang will also review non surgical options for treatment and surgical approaches when necessary.
Have a question for Dr. Karen Tang about period pain?
