Podcasts about adolescent gynecology

È una malattia invalidante, che colpisce 3 milioni di donne in Italia e oltre 150 milioni nel mondo, troppo spesso sottovalutata con un ritardo nella diagnosi fino a 7-10 anni. Un dato che viene confermato anche da una review dell’University College di Londra e dell’Università di Birmingham, pubblicata sul Journal of Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology. I ricercatori esaminando 19 studi, condotti tra il 2011 e il 2019, su un totale di 1243 ragazze, di età compresa tra i 10 e i 25 anni, con dolore mestruale cronico, hanno scoperto l’incidenza dell’endometriosi in 6 giovani donne su 10, con un impatto anche sull’istruzione per la perdita media di 19 giorni di scuola all’anno. A Obiettivo Salute il commento del dottor Marcello Ceccaroni, Direttore del Dipartimento di Ostetricia e Ginecologia dell’IRCCS Negrar (Verona).

In this episode, Dr. Leslie Appiah, who is fellowship-trained in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology and is the Director of the Fertility Preservation Program at the University of Colorado, discusses oncofertility and fertility preservation. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn free AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/KtEfCL --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Appiah begins the episode by defining oncofertility as a multidisciplinary field that improves fertility and reproductive health outcomes for patients with cancer diagnoses. She emphasizes the growth of the field, with the term “oncofertility” being coined in 2009 by Dr. Teresa Woodruff at Northwestern University. Now, 13 states have legislation that mandates insurance providers to cover fertility services for patients with and without cancer. The primary patient population that may benefit includes patients with a cancer diagnosis, although additional populations who may benefit, including patients with Sickle Cell Anemia undergoing bone marrow transplant, systemic lupus erythematosus using alkylator therapies, transgender populations undergoing gender-affirming treatments, and patients born with genetic conditions that may result in infertility (e.g., Turner Syndrome). The main agents that are harmful to fertility include alkylator and radiation therapies. The physicians then transition to discuss fertility preservation, and Dr. Appiah highlights that it is the responsibility of medical providers to offer counseling for every patient who is at risk for infertility. She then describes types of fertility preservation, including sperm banking, testicular tissue preservation, egg freezing, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Dr. Appiah then shares 3 different procedures that are used for ovarian tissue cryopreservation, the most common approach begin a laparoscopic procedure to retrieve one ovary, which is then preserved and later transplanted back into the pelvic peritoneum once the patient has completed cancer therapies and is ready to start a family. The episode concludes with Dr. Appiah shares future directions in the field of oncofertility, which includes streamlining the process for male patients, ensuring every state is able to allow fertility preservation services that are covered by insurance providers, optimizing the process of transplanting ovarian tissue, and utilizing ovarian tissues for hormone replacement. --- RESOURCES ReproTech, Fertility Preservation: https://www.reprotech.com/fertility-preservation-network/ Oncofertility Consortium: https://oncofertility.msu.edu/about/ Alliance for Fertility Preservation, Fertility Scout: https://www.allianceforfertilitypreservation.org/about-fertility-scout/

I don't know about you, but motherhood goes in phases of panic and preparation. One phase informs the specifics around the panic and the preparation.For example, you get pregnant. Then, the research begins. What prenatal vitamins should I take? What kind of birth do I want? What kind of care provider do I want? What should I put on my baby registry? All the questions, all the preparation around the nursery and the buying of the parenting books and all the things.Then the baby comes, and you move into a new phase: why is the baby spitting up? How do I get my baby to sleep? What kind of nap schedule does my baby need to be on? When do I start solids? What do I start with? How much should they be eating? When should they be crawling? When should they start walking? Then you move into toddlerhood and find yourself furiously consulting with parenting books and blogs and podcasts about toddler behavior and how to manage it, and developmental stages, and how to navigate them.Well, first comes marriage (or the relationship or the donor), then comes the baby, then comes: how the heck do I talk to my child about puberty. Ok, maybe not in that order, but the point is: we move from being positively consumed by all the things in pregnancy and infancy and toddlerhood and then BAM! Your child is asking you about boobs and why you're bleeding from your butt (because they're in the bathroom with you 24/7, even when you have your period, and they have questions). They may even begin touching themselves and you find yourself flustered trying to find the words to explain to them that we do not touch ourselves in public. And then - oh GOD - how do we talk to our kids about pleasure? And when do we do that? And oh my goodness - when do their boobs come in? And when does their period start? And how on earth do I talk to them about this?If you feel flustered around talking to your children about puberty, today's episode is going to be one that you must save and come back to over and over and over again. Talking to our kids about puberty isn't easy, but it's necessary. And since we want to empower our children around their bodies - not just because of all the body image stuff they are going to be exposed to, but also for very practical reasons like bodily autonomy and sexual abuse prevention - we need to get comfortable talking about puberty with them. Ok, maybe it won't be comfortable, but we need to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable as we learn to talk to our kids about their bodies.Today, I'm joined by board certified pediatrician and chief medical officer and co-founder of Girology, Dr. Trish Hutchison. Girlology is a digital health platform with our 500 educational videos for parents and their daughters about every topic under the sun when it comes to puberty. Dr. Trish co-founded Girology with her colleague, Dr. Melissa Holmes. Dr. Holmes is a board certified gynecologist with a specialty in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. In short, you couldn't have two more qualified people running a digital health platform about puberty.If you have sons, there is Guyology. So fear not - today you will unlock everything you need to know about talking to your kids abouFollow along on Instagram @themomfeedpodcast Sign up for our newsletter for weekly inspiration and advice on motherhood and beyond.Remember to subscribe to the show if you don't already! xoxo

When our pediatric and adolescent patients are diagnosed with cancer or another life-altering conditions, the focus is often on treatment and not the changes chemotherapy, radiation and surgery may have on their body's long-term function. In this episode, we are joined by Leslie Appiah, MD to discuss the innovative topic of fertility preservation for pediatric and adolescent patients -- both at cancer diagnosis and in survivorship.  Dr. Appiah is part of the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology team at Children's Colorado and is Division Chief, Academic Specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Director of the Fertility Preservation and Reproductive Late Effects Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. She is co-founder of the Pediatric Initiative Network of the Oncofertility Consortium where she served as chair for 5 years and is current co-chair of the Adolescent and Young Adult Reproductive Late Effects Committee.  

You thought you were done talking with your teen or pre-teen about reproduction. You had the birds/bees talk — or some version thereof — but now your kid is experiencing pelvic pain, and it's time for Awkward Conversation Two-Point-Oh. But it doesn't have to be. Fortunately there are experts like Dr. Angela Hernandez, Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist at Seattle Children's Hospital. For past generations, getting a proper diagnosis for pelvic pain could take half a dozen doctors and a decade OR MORE, if the diagnosis came at all. Getting a diagnosis — and management plan — ASAP is definitely worth a potentially uncomfortable talk! This episode could be a great place to start. Ruby, Anne, and Dr. Angela tackle the tough topic head on. If you or your child are having pelvic pain issues, be sure to listen to this snack and the full episode and check out these resources: The Center for Young Women's Health: https://youngwomenshealth.org/gynecology-index/#a-gyn-guides-E The Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology: https://www.jpagonline.org/article/S1083-3188(19)30365-1/fulltext Or check out the Adolescent Medicine department at Seattle Children's at 206-987-2028. 

Periods can be a pain, disrupting your plans, pimpling your face, and REALLY messing with your moods. But if they're causing a lot of actual pelvic pain, or if the pain is persistent and not only cyclical, that may indicate a problem that's more than "normal" cramps. Müllerian anomalies and endometriosis are common causes for pelvic pain, but because people with uteruses are told that pain is "normal," it can take years to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Yeah.... no. Fortunately, getting the right diagnosis for pelvic pain can mean finding solutions to help with the pain and heavy bleeding. Solutions now may also help preserve fertility in the future. In this episode Ruby and Anne are talking with Dr. Angela Hernandez, Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist at Seattle Children's Hospital, about pelvic pain, why it happens, what we can do about it, and how far someone who says "suck it up, it's normal," can shove it.  Are you or someone you know concerned about pelvic pain?

The statute--Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act--is set to expire at the end of January. President Trump introduced uncertainty as lawmakers negotiated the renewal by sending conflicting tweets, which first opposed the renewal and then appeared to support it.  Now the bill heads to the Senate where Democrat Ron Wyden as well as Republican Rand Paul, have vowed to filibuster the bill out of concern for the fact that American citizens' data are often swept into surveillance requests when they communicate with individuals outside the U.S. The bill would renew the surveillance program until 2023.
