See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Last week one of my pellet patients asked me to see her daughter, even though I don't see young women anymore since I began BioBalance Health for people over 40.  I asked her why she couldn't see her gynecologist and she told me that she was told that she had PMS and that was a condition that was treated by a psychiatrist!  I have treated PMS successfully by replacing one hormone that is missing, Progesterone, two weeks a month, the same two weeks that women experience the symptoms of PMS.  I agreed to see her although I wish my fellow gynecologists would learn how easily this can be treated and not make young women feel like they are crazy, because they aren't! NOTE: Before I give you the impression that I treat PMS currently at BioBalance® Health, I want to clear that up: I only treat PMS in my younger cycling patients (36yo. to menopause) who take testosterone pellets for other symptoms.  My recommendation for finding a doctor who treats PMS in your area is to contact a local compounding pharmacy and ask the pharmacist which GYNs treat PMS, or contact one of the large compounding pharmacies, eg. College Pharmacy in Colorado Springs, or Belmar Pharmacy in Colorado as well to find a doctor in your area who can treat you.  There are many good compounding pharmacies who have pharmacists who can tell you which doctors prescribe progesterone for PMS. What is PMS? PMS symptoms are only present 2 weeks a month, the 2 weeks before menstruation. This condition causes patients to feel different, not like themselves in the ways listed below, and also caused menstrual changes in the menstrual periods that follow the PMS symptoms. The Emotional and physical Symptoms of PMS:  All occur monthly, for 14 days Depression Anxiety Anger and irritability Bloating, Migraine headaches, Water weight gain, Pelvic pain Fatigue Insomnia   The Menstrual Symptoms associated with PMS: The GYN Symptoms that can occur secondary to PMS (poor progesterone production) include: 1)irregular periods, spotting for a week before the period starts 2) heavy bleeding, sometimes uncontrollable bleeding, 3) infertility, 4) multiple miscarriages 5) lack of ovulation, and lack of periods for months at a time like with PCO Polycystic ovaries My History Treating PMS (skip if you already know this) I have been a gynecologist in private practice in St. Louis County since 1985 when I graduated from my OBGYN residency at Mercy Hospital. My training gave me an excellent knowledge of GYN Surgery and Obstetrics, but a very minimal understanding of the hormonal cycles of women, including Premenstrual Tension (PMS). Since the 1980s when PMS was recognized as a condition of women, OBGYNs have been taught that PMS is a psychiatric disease that must be treated with psychiatric medicines, primarily anti-depressants. Most OBGYNs today still believe that women who have PMS are “crazy”, and either give them an antidepressant which rarely work to treat the symptoms or refer their PMS patients to a psychiatrist.  In my case, I do not do either because PMS is a hormonal imbalance that causes emotional symptoms, and because psychiatric diseases are not cyclic every 28 days lasting 2 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of normalcy. The Cause of PMS Since 1988 I have studied the cause of PMS and with the help of a very intelligent compounding pharmacist, Pete Hueseman, I found the answer to the cause and treatment for PMS.  I began to treat PMS hormonally and now have successfully treated hundreds of PMS patients with bio-identical Progesterone.  It is a simple answer. PMS is caused by a deficiency of the hormone Progesterone during the two weeks after ovulation, from around days 14-28!  This is not a complicated diagnostic discovery, and the treatment should be obvious to all doctors who treat young, fertile women. More about that in a minute… From 1980- the present there has been no effective treatment for PMS approved by the FDA         (just ineffective anti-depressants) because it is still  categorized as a psychiatric disease.   When I took my second American Board of OBGYN test in 1999, a question on my test was: “Is PMS a Psychiatric Disease that should be treated with antidepressants?”  And the correct answer according to the American College of OBGYN was that that statement was TRUE, they believed and still do in 2024 that PMS is a psychiatric disease!  In 1999 I had been treating PMS successfully with bio-identical compounded progesterone for over a decade with bioidentical progesterone in non-oral form (suppositories, vaginal tablets, vaginal cream, and transdermal creams), given only during the second half of the menstrual cycle, from ovulation until the onset of the period. To understand PMS you have to understand how the three sex hormones work during a woman's 28 day cycle.  We count the days of a cycle starting at the first day of bleeding, which is day 1.  While we have a period our estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are all at their lowest level in the blood, but by the end of our period estradiol (estrogen) and testosterone start being produced by the ovary. They increase and both peak at ovulation, usually day 14, giving a woman a viable egg and a surge in her sex drive to motivate her to have sex and fertilize the egg. On day 14 the egg is released from the ovary and the corpus luteum (where the egg came from on the ovary) starts secreting progesterone.  This hormone increases and plateaus during the next 14 days, while estradiol and testosterone level out.  The day before bleeding, when the egg is not fertilized, all three hormones drop precipitously and that causes the uterine lining that was growing under the control of estrogen, to shed and bleed. PMS occurs during the second half of the menstrual cycle when the developing egg is not ovulated or is immature and ovulated but is not “ripe” enough to stimulate a decent progesterone blood level.  In the case of PCO, many eggs develop but are trapped and don't ovulate at all so no progesterone is produced.  In all these cases, women with PMS are symptomatic both in the symptoms above and the menstrual abnormalities listed earlier. All of the physiologic changes that take place in the PMS patient indicate an inability to conceive, or to conceive but have multiple miscarriages. The Treatment for PMS: The Treatment is bio-identical Progesterone, but the FDA didn't have a form of bioidentical Progesterone that worked until the last 10 years, when Prometrium was produced. Prometrium is an oral pill containing natural progesterone in peanut oil.  This works well for some women, but not for others. For those women we prescribe bio-identical compounded progesterone in sublingual, vaginal, transdermal and BLA Progesterone oral forms. The most important fact about diagnosing PMS is to remember that the symptoms of PMS only occur 2 weeks a “menstrual” month (28 days of the cycle).  The most important fact about treatment is that PMS should be treated with Progesterone the second two weeks of the menstrual cycle at bedtime. Now my patients ask me to treat their daughters who are cycling and whose OBGYN follow the guidelines of ACOG blindly even if the suggested treatment (anti-depressants don't work or make them worse).  I can only hope that the method of treating PMS as a hormone deficiency, instead of a psychiatric disease, will be accepted by American College of Gynecology and that you can find doctors you can be treated by, by finding a compounding pharmacy who will refer you.

See all the Healthcast's at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Doctor lingo is often confusing to those patients who don't work in the medical profession, and even to some of us who work in medicine, so I believe it is important to translate some of the phrases your doctor uses when explaining why he or she has chosen a particular treatment plan for you.  This Blog addresses what your doctor means when he chooses a treatment plan based on the Standard of Care or the Guidelines written by his particular specialty group. These two terms are often misleading and often following guidelines or Standard of Care is an excuse for doing less than excellent care or even out of date care! Read on to understand how to interpret these phrases when choosing the best medical treatments for you or your family. Over 25 years ago I decided to offer my help to patients who were injured and to doctors who were being sued without merit, by becoming an expert witness.  My husband is an attorney and I had always gotten many requests to review medical records for his attorney friends to determine whether a doctor had treated a patient with neglect or had injured a patient secondary to an act of malpractice.  Before engaging in this endeavor, I sat down with my husband and asked some necessary questions about what a patient could sue over and what a doctor could use to defend herself if she were sued without merit. He taught me that doctors are held to a standard that is called the “standard of care” and if he or she fell below that level of care then she (let's call all doctors “she” for this blog since I am a woman doctor) would be held negligent if there was lasting damage to a patient.  To my surprise he defined the medical standard of care as the lowest level of care or the least a doctor could do when caring for a patient. Prior to this time, I had thought “standard of care” meant the best care a doctor or nurse can give a patient; however, the name is misleading and is meant to protect doctors from lawsuits and to defend doctors working in indigent and rural areas where they have very few tools and tests to use to diagnose and treat patients. Needless to say, that day I changed how I used the term “the standard of care!”, and how I viewed the care I gave to my patients. When planning a procedure or a treatment, If your doctor tells you he is following the standard of care you should let her know that you understand that that is the minimum she can do, and that you want the best care possible for your problem, if it is available the most accurate testing and treatment possible.  By letting them know, that you KNOW, you understand the lingo they are using and that you want to receive the best care, you are likely to have a much better outcome than if the bare minimum is done for you. An example is often seen in the emergency room when a female patient comes in with urinary symptoms: painful urination, trouble passing urine, and back pain. The standard of care is to get a urine specimen and if there is blood in the urine, and white blood cells the standard of care would be to send the urine off for culture and treat the patient with antibiotics.  However, these symptoms are often the sign of a kidney stone, or a renal tumor.  A simple Xray can usually find kidney stones, or an ultrasound of the kidneys can diagnose dilation of the kidneys that would indicate an obstruction of the ureters like a stone or a tumor. Positive tests would lead to more diagnostic procedures and negative would solidify the diagnosis of a urinary tract infection.  The Xray and or Ultrasound would be above the standard of care, but not all hospitals have a radiologist on call to do these tests outside of normal business hours.  Another test that is above the standard of care is a culture of the cervix for chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease that can scar fallopian tubes and cause infertility.  An above minimal care test would be to also culture the cervix for chlamydia so that the patient could be made aware of an STD so her partner can be treated as well as receive appropriate treatment for Chlamydia.  The chlamydia test would be above the standard of care but is also a necessary test in sexually active women to prevent infertility and should be done! The term Standard of care is also the phrase used by politicians who want to cut your access to expensive treatments and diagnostic procedures.  When politicians who are supported by the wealthy insurance industry, or when political agencies like the CDC and NIH create a standard of care for all of America it is based on spending as little money as possible to serve the greatest number of people, NOT for the health and welfare of individual Americans. Beware when anyone including politicians, lawyers and doctors start using standard of care as a goal of treatment instead of the lowest common denominator of treatment. You and I want the best care for ourselves and our family that our insurance, or Medicare will pay for and sometimes to get the best doctors or treatments we have to pay out of pocket as well, however the second misleading term that can cause us to be treated inferiorly is the “Medical Guidelines” of our medical specialty groups. Let me tell a story about being board certified in a specialty such as mine, OBGYN. In 1999 the guidelines from the American College of OBGYN, ACOG, our national organization that sets treatment guidelines for doctors who care for women, gave a national recertification test in Dallas, TX.  Hundreds of doctors sat in a large room and took a 6-hour written test that was supposed to test us to see if they were good enough doctors to be board certified in our specialty. All of the practicing OBGYNs had already been certified but a retest was necessary every 10 years at that time.  We all studied the guidelines that listed the tests necessary to provide the lowest standard of care to be a member of ACOG, but the problem was the guidelines were at least 10 years out of date, and if a doctor read the research and practiced the way we should, at the most advanced level of practice, then they would fail the test because it was behind the times!  For example, I had been treating PMS for women successfully for a decade with natural progesterone nightly during the second half of the menstrual cycle, and the research had come out that said it was a psychiatric disease, but in fact it was a REAL disease!  ACOG was so behind the times that they were wrong about the Diagnosis as a disease at all! On the test the question was, “Is PMS a real condition?”. The right answer for the test was NO, but the correct answer was YES!  The college of OBGYN was behind in its guidelines and teaching of residents by a decade! PMS had been acknowledged as a disease years before the test and those of us who practiced up to date medicine were marked wrong on this question as many others like it.  I was the victim of another outdated “guideline” that ACOG published in 1988 during my oral boards.  I was a few years out of residency when a 5 man panel of OBGYNs quizzed me about the surgeries I had done over the past year.  I had done quite a few ovarian cyst removals and ovarian removals through the laparoscope, which was the new (about 7 years old at the time) way to remove ovaries and cysts without making a big incision in a woman's abdomen, and I had been taught in residency and continued to work with general surgeons to hone my skills with the laparoscope when I took this test.  I actually was failed because I was “ahead of my time” and used the laparoscope “too much”.  When I asked them how much was enough, they had no answer! The guidelines had not changed with the practice of my specialty! Now, most ovaries and ovarian cysts are treated that way!  Laparoscopic surgical technique had not been accepted into the guidelines yet, in 1988, but the research and practice had been around almost a decade! Last but not least is the fact that there are always very old, retired and obstinate men at the top of the medical specialties who do not accept the new way of doing things until they are already being done by everyone!  If you are ahead of your time and treat patients with much more than the standard of care you are penalized!  I view the medical specialties a large leviathan that can't turn quickly so is often behind the curve. When trying to communicate with your doctor please ask for all the options available for your problem..not just medications but procedures too.  I had to see a cardiac physiologist because I have had atrial fibrillation for the last decade and it was getting worse. I finally needed a procedure to stop it, an ablation. II did my homework and knew there was a one-day procedure that did not require premedication with a poisonous drug that I am allergic to, so I knew it was possible to have this procedure with one day in the hospital and no premedication.  When I saw the first doctor, he told me I would have to be in the hospital on a drug (in the same family as the one I am allergic to) for 3 days ahead of time and 2-3 days after the procedure.  I asked him if there was any other way to do this, and he said no.  Then I knew he was lying!  I asked him if he did the procedure by using a balloon that froze the pulmonary vein in an hour or so, or a radio wave that took 5-7 hours under anesthesia. He told me the only way he did it was the radio wave because it was “safer”.  In fact, my extensive research revealed that the less time under anesthesia is the safest way for any procedure and that the balloon freezing method had fewer complications!  I left that doctor, never to return and interviewed another doctor who told me the truth and I am scheduled with him soon to have a one- day hospital stay with the balloon procedure.  When I asked him which he preferred to perform when ablating the pulmonary vein, he said he does both and I could choose which one I felt most comfortable with!  How refreshing. So, the things I would like you to remember to protect yourself is that you don't necessarily want a doctor who views the standard of care and medical specialty guidelines as the newest and best way to practice medicine.  I would also like you to ask your doctor these questions: Can you please compare the risks and benefits of the two or three types of treatment or surgeries for me? How many times have you done this surgery? How long will I be in the hospital, in recovery, out of work? Which medication or surgery choice would you have your mother, father, child undergo if they had the same problem as I do? Run from a doctor who views the standard of care his highest goal and the guidelines to be current and the only way to practice!  Stay healthy and informed! Stay healthy and informed, this is Dr Kathy Maupin Medical director of BioBalance Health.
