Women's health has a history of being underfunded in the United States, leading many women to receive suboptimal care. In this episode of the BackTable OBGYN podcast, hosts Dr. Mark Hoffman and Dr. Amy Park engage in a detailed discussion with Dr. Louise P. King, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and Christopher Robertson, a law professor at Boston University, regarding the inequitable reimbursement structures that persist within the field of OBGYN. --- SYNPOSIS The guests emphasize the systemic discrepancies between gynecologic and other surgical disciplines. The conversation delves into the origins of these disparities, the complexities of revising current codes and creating new codes, and potential legislative and legal remedies to address gender-based inequities. The guests also stress the importance of patient care outcomes and the role of proper reimbursement in enhancing healthcare delivery. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 06:28 - Background on RVUs and Disparities in OBGYN 12:39 - Gender Disparities in Medical Billing 18:00 - Efforts to Address Inequities 31:22 - RUC Structure and Surgical Specialties 32:42 - Billing and Reimbursement Inequities 35:15 - Diagnosis Related Groups 36:42 - Turnover Times and Gender Disparities 40:21 - Advocacy and Legislative Solutions 48:23 - Legal Approaches for Change 52:44 - Conclusion --- RESOURCES Watson KL, King LP.

There continues to be great confusion regarding the impact of hormone therapy on the breast. And despite the known benefits of hormone therapy, and reassuring data regarding the impact of hormone therapy on breast cancer, most clinicians are still reluctant to prescribe it, and most women are reluctant to take it. Even more so if a woman is high risk for breast cancer or has a breast cancer diagnosis. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified Ob GYN and menopause expert who herself had a breast cancer diagnosis when she was in her 20s. We will be reviewing the latest research on the impact of estrogen on the breast in several different scenarios.

Navigating breastfeeding as an EM physician In the previous two episodes, we explored some of the challenges related to fertility and pregnancy for EM physicians. In the final episode of our three part series, we take it one step further to discuss yet another challenge: breastfeeding. Of course, fed is always best, and there are many reasons to formula feed, but providing breastmilk is very important to many families. For EM physicians, choosing to breastfeed usually means figuring out how to pump and store milk while you're on shift. This can be daunting, especially for residents and junior physicians. How do you find time to sneak away? Is there an easily accessible pumping room close by? Will you feel supported by colleagues and your department? We cover these questions and much more with experts, Dr. Claire Abramoff, and Dr. Shada Rouhani. Does your ED have policies to support breastfeeding and pumping?

Contributor: Kiersten Williams MD, Travis Barlock MD, Jeffrey Olson MS2 Summary: In this episode, Dr. Travis Barlock and Jeffrey Olson meet in the studio to discuss a clip from Dr. Williams' talk at the “Laboring Under Pressure, Managing Obstetric Emergencies in a Global Setting” event from May 2023. This event was hosted at the University of Denver and was organized with the help of Joe Parker as a fundraiser for the organization Health Outreach Latin America (HOLA). Dr. Kiersten Williams completed her OBGYN residency at Bay State Medical Center and practices as an Obstetric Hospitalist at Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver, Colorado. During her talk, Dr. Williams walks the audience through the common causes and treatments for post-partum hemorrhage (PPH). Some important take-away points from this talk are: The most common causes of PPH can be remembered by the 4 T's. Tone (atony), Trauma, Tissue (retained placenta), and Thrombin (coagulopathies). AV malformations of the uterus are probably underdiagnosed. Quantitative blood loss is much more accurate than estimated blood loss (EBL). The ideal fibrinogen for an obstetric patient about to deliver is above 400 mg/dl - under 200 is certain to cause bleeding. Do not deliver oxytocin via IV push dose, it can cause significant hypotension. Tranexamic Acid is available in both IV and PO and can be administered in the field. The dose is 1 gram and can be run over 10 minutes if administered via IV. It is best if used within 3 hours of delivery. When performing a uterine massage, place one hand inside the vagina and one hand on the lower abdomen. Then rub the lower abdomen like mad. A new option for treating PPH is called the JADA System which is slimmer than a Bakri Balloon and uses vacuum suction to help the uterus clamp down.* Another option for a small uterus is to insert a 60 cc Foley catheter. In an operating room, a B-Lynch suture can be put in place, uterine artery ligation can be performed, and as a last resort, a hysterectomy can be done. *EMM is not sponsored by JADA system or the Bakri balloon.

There has been a lot of news about abortion (abortifacient) medications recently. Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, individual states passed their own laws restricting access to abortion, this includes access to abortion medications. This clearly impacts the way pharmacists practice. In this episode, we summarize the science behind the two main abortive drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, and provide a picture of how the access to these medications stand in the United States. Key Concepts Among other modalities to terminate pregnancies, medication abortion is a safe and alternative option that is picking up popularity given recent changes post-Dobbs vs. Jackson WHO decision. The FDA-approved use of combination mifepristone and misoprostol regimen to terminate pregnancy up to 70 days (10 weeks of gestation) is based on strong evidence for its efficacy and safety. Since the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in 2022, states have taken their own action to further restrict or increase access to abortion services including access to medication abortion. These legal changes further impact dispensing of mifepristone and misoprostol by pharmacists across the country adding to more confusion. Legal councils, state boards of pharmacies, or state pharmacy associations may serve as suitable resources to consult regarding these fast-changing laws.

This is the first of a special podcast series on obstetric critical care. I am joined on this series by Dr. Elizabeth Garchar, MD, FACOG. She is an OB/GYN and Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist who has a special interest in obstetric critical care. She is also unique in that she flies regularly with our critical care transport teams and acts as one of our Assistant Medical Directors for the flight program. So, Dr. Garchar has unique insight into managing this population in transport. This podcast focuses on severe postpartum hemorrhage. We discuss the epidemiology and risk factors as well as the nuances of diagnosis, specifically how blood loss is actually quantified in this setting. We also go through the importance of point-of-care ultrasound to help identify and manage the causes of postpartum hemorrhage. Then, we transition to the discussion of management, focusing on the medical management of uterine atony, and also go over advanced interventions such as uterine packing, balloon tamponade devices, and REBOA. Finally, Dr. Garchar discusses the indication and procedure for emergent hysterectomy as well as the post-procedure management critical care transport crews may have to perform.

Healthcast 635 - Ovarian Cysts: Diagnosis and Treatment After Menopause

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog At Biobalance® Health we often find cysts or masses on the ovaries of women who are menopausal quite by accident. We order an ultrasound before we treat a menopausal woman with estradiol to see if there is a thickened lining that might cause bleeding under the influence of estrogen replacement, or to make sure there is no uterine cancer before we treat a new patient. We also incidentally find ovarian masses or cysts when we are investigating pelvic pain or postmenopausal bleeding on our patients who are already on estrogen replacement. In general, since BioBalance's female patients have their own GYN we don't do pelvic exams in the office, therefore we don't find a mass by palpating (feeling) the pelvic structures, however ovarian cysts and masses can be found by ultrasound as well as by physical exam. We generally find ours by vaginal ultrasound. Why do we get ovarian cysts? Before menopause we make an egg every month (if we are not on birth control) that grows within a fluid filled sack. This egg will grow to about 18 mm, or 1.8 cm before it ruptures and releases the egg. That is the miracle of ovulation. It is normal to see one or two of these small cysts on the ovaries of ovulating, fertile women. These small sacks are not cysts because of their size. Ovarian cysts are fluid filled sacks attached to the ovary that are over 2.5 cm. They often occur secondary to a trapped egg that won't ovulate for some reason, and the cyst will remain until the next period. If the cyst doesn't dissolve before the next cycle, it can grow larger with the surges of hormones and it can prevent future ovulation, or it can cause pain from the stretching of the outer covering of the ovary. If a cyst is less than 2.5 mg. we don't re-ultrasound in cycling women. If it is larger or continues to cause pain, we follow up an ultrasound in 6 weeks to see if it is growing. If it is growing but is still clear, depending on the size and the pain involved, we might do a laparoscopy to remove the cyst from the ovary. If it is growing and looks unusual in shape or density, we order 2 blood tumor markers for ovarian cancer. If those are negative, we follow up with another ultrasound in 3 more months. In some patients, multiple ovarian cysts are the norm. Those patients with polycystic ovaries create multiple cysts each month and rarely ovulate. It helps to use the drug Metformin ER to improve ovulation in PCO patients (and the rupture of cysts). Some patients require laparoscopy to punch holes in all the cysts especially if she is trying to get pregnant. What does a postmenopausal ovarian mass or cyst mean indicate? Now for postmenopausal patient's ovarian cysts and masses are much more worrisome but much rarer. Because the ovary is not metabolically active, and therefore not ovulating the menopausal ovary should look small without cystic structures, however there are some exceptions! The menopausal ovary that has a fluid filled cyst 2.5 cm or less can have been there since the patient stopped ovulating and it never deflated, or ovulated. This type of cyst doesn't grow and is not malignant. Ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women that are fluid filled and larger than 2.5 cm, or solid, or partially fluid filled and partially solid are suspicious for malignancy. In this case your doctor may order an MRI, a CT scan of the pelvis, and order cancer tumor markers. In most cases these masses are benign, or early in a malignancy and can be treated with surgery. Sometimes we find a suspicious mass that needs confirmatory ultrasound or MRI by a GYN Oncologist, tumor markers, and surgery would be scheduled to take the uterus tubes and ovaries and sometimes the omentum and lymph nodes. When will a patient know that her mass if not malignant and if she needs surgery? The surgeon may do a frozen section in the operating room to see if more than the ovary itself must be removed or your GYN may wait for the final pathology report to determine if it is malignant. That takes several days to a week. How common is ovarian cancer? Ovarian cancer is very rare and tends to run in families. If you have not had a relative with ovarian cancer, then you are not likely to have ovarian cancer if you have a suspicious mass. That does not mean you won't' need surgery, it just means the outcome has a high chance of being benign. What can be mistaken for an ovarian mass on ultrasound? There are several pelvic structures that might be confused with an ovarian cyst/mass. The most common is a pedunculated fibroid that hangs down from the uterus and looks like it is coming from the ovary. These muscle masses from the ovary are generally benign, but they can grow under the influence of estrogens. There are cysts called para-ovarian cysts that can originate from the fallopian tube. They are fluid filled and can actually grow, looking like an ovarian mass, but they are benign, and most are sedentary and don't grow or become a problem. In my 25 years of operating on women I only had one of the next types of cysts that was thought to be a malignancy at first. It was a very large cyst, 12x 12 inches in diameter and I asked a general surgeon to come in and work with me to help with the surgery if it was a malignancy. In the end, it was a cyst in the retroperitoneal space, called a peritoneal cyst, that was totally benign, and the patient did not require any further treatment after the surgery. Postmenopausal women who have had an ovarian cyst or ovarian mass you know that it can be an anxiety producing situation, however the great majority of the simple ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women are benign and surgery is not necessary. Most ovarian cysts are likely to remain unchanged or disappear during the follow-up period. The malignancy rate of these cysts is about 1 in 10,000, so worry is usually unnecessary. In my 25 years of private practice, I only operated on 5 patients with an ovarian cyst or mass that turned out to be malignant. As gynecologic surgeons we are trained to investigate any ovarian cysts that are suspicious through ultrasound, or surgically even if there is a very slight chance that they might be malignant. We are expected to remove any ovary that is suspected to be cancer, even if the chance is minimal that the cyst is malignant. In our practice we send all our patients with suspicious ovarian masses to their gynecologist for evaluation and treatment.

Dr. Arreaza adds some comments about the treatment of obesity. Written by Elika Salimi, MS3, Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Hello there! My name is Elika and I am a third-year medical student at Western University of Health Sciences. Today I will be talking to you about polycystic ovary syndrome AKA PCOS.Do you have a female patient in her reproductive years with irregular menstrual cycles, or no menstrual cycles at all? Is she unable to conceive a child? Did she have an unexpected diagnosis of diabetes? Does she have more acne than she would like, or has hair in unwanted or unexpected areas such as her chin?Does she have a hard time losing weight? If you answered YES to many of these questions, it is possible that your patient is suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome also known as PCOS, which is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women. Pathophysiology:The exact pathophysiology behind this syndrome is unknown; however, per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists committee, some studies have shown a strong association between PCOS and obesity. In a woman with obesity disorder, the excess adipose tissue ends up increasing peripheral estrogen synthesis and as a result, there is a decrease in peripheral sensitivity to insulin which means many of these women tend to have hyperinsulinemia. To be more detailed, it is important to mention that during these anovulatory cycles, the increase in estrogen, which is also unopposed estrogen with a lack of progesterone, can lead to endometrial hyperplasia and consequently increase the risk of endometrial carcinoma.Clinical Features: Unless there is a clear history and physical or if perhaps there was an incidental ultrasound finding of polycystic ovaries, the diagnosis of PCOS is not exactly black-and-white. That is why it is important to increase awareness so that women can put the pieces of the puzzle together and come in to get evaluated. Multiple cysts in ovaries can present in patients without PCOS, and they are common in teenagers. To use the multiple cysts as part of the diagnosis, the patient has to be 2 years after menarche (AAFP). Some of these clinical symptoms typically start during adolescence displaying menstrual irregularities such as she could've had her period and then stopped getting it or she has a very delayed onset of her menstrual cycle. It is also possible to have spotty menstrual cycles also known as breakthrough bleeding or menorrhagia. And very important to many women, she could be infertile or have difficulties conceiving.She could also have diabetes because of insulin resistance that comes with the metabolic syndrome that develops with PCOS, which is also increased if she has obesity. This obesity disorder going hand in hand with the metabolic syndrome, can also increase the risk of having sleep apnea, which could affect the quality of her sleep, finding herself more fatigued than she should be after adequate hours of rest. Other symptoms include skin conditions such as hirsutism which is basically male pattern hair growth in women in areas such as the upper lip, chin, around the umbilicus, back, or even buttocks. She could also have male pattern hair loss on the head or too much acne or oily skin or acanthosis nigricans which are these brown/velvety hyperpigmented streaks on the neck or axilla, or groin. She could also find herself more depressed or anxious.Diagnosis:The diagnostic criteria and treatments are mainly addressed in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, an evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of polycystic ovary syndrome, and the American Family Physician Journal:The diagnosis of PCOS requires the presence of at least two criteria that are not due to any other endocrine disorder such as thyroid disease or hyperprolactinemia, or other. 1) Periods of oligo-ovulation and or anovulation which means she's either having very low ovulatory cycles or she's not ovulating at all. 2) hyperandrogenism and this could be based on her clinical features or laboratory studies showing elevated testosterone levels or LH to FSH ratio and 3) Seeing enlarged and/or polycystic ovaries on a pelvic ultrasound. This means that the pelvic ultrasound shows an ovarian volume of equal to or greater than 10 mL and/or there's multiple cystic follicles that are about 2 to 9 mm in one or both of her ovaries which also usually tend to have a string of pearls appearance.So, if you have 2 out of the 3, you have PCOS. There are ways to confirm that there is in fact hyperandrogenism by doing lab studies and this could mean that her testosterone levels are elevated, or her androstenedione is elevated as well as elevated dehydro-epi-androsterone sulfate (DHEAS) and of course we need to rule out pregnancy and other endocrine disorders as I mentioned earlier. However, if the clinical picture of hyperandrogenism is there then that fulfills the diagnostic criteria for PCOS even if the serum antigen levels are normal. This also applies to an elevated LH:FSH ratio of typically greater than 2 to 1 which is also a characteristic finding of most patients with PCOS but this is not exactly necessary for diagnosis. We also don't need to find cystic follicles in order to diagnose PCOS. Treatment: In family medicine practices and even OB/GYN practice for PCOS the most common recommendation for all patients is to encourage them to increase their physical activity (exercise) and eat healthy and try to consider behavioral modifications to have a target BMI of ideally less than 25 kg/m² because this can reduce estrone production in adipose tissue.Then we are thinking about ways to treat patients who are not planning to conceive versus those that are. For those patients that are not planning to conceive the goal is to regulate their menstrual cycles and irregularities as well as their hyperandrogenism and to treat the comorbidities as well to overall improve their quality of life.The first line treatment for hyperandrogenism to try to regulate menstrual cycle abnormalities is combined oral contraceptives also known as birth control pills. This also reduces endometrial hyperplasia which in turn can decrease the risk of endometrial carcinoma as mentioned earlier and it can reduce menstrual bleeding and you can reduce acne and try to assist with the hirsutism as well. As mentioned earlier, PCOS can also go hand-in-hand with insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia and therefore we can also use metformin that can improve menstrual irregularities but also address the metabolic side of this as well. Summary: Diet, exercise, combined oral contraceptives, and metformin.Some other more controversial medications to treat hyperandrogenism could be potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolactone that also inhibits 17-a-hydroxylase or finasteride which is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor and flutamide which is an androgen receptor blocker. The mentioned examples are typically for those people that can't really tolerate combined oral contraceptives. Other things to consider for those that are suffering from obesity syndrome are to possibly consider bariatric surgery if of course the criteria are met, and this is on a case-by-case basis. Bariatric surgery may be an answer to many of our metabolic problems that's why it is now called metabolic surgery. For patients who are planning to conceive the goal is to manage their comorbidities such as weight loss but also to try to induce ovulation.Now the first-line therapy for inducing ovulation is a medication called letrozole which is an aromatase inhibitor that in turn reduces estrogen production stimulating FSH secretion and ultimately inducing ovulation, not to get too heavily into the weeds of how these medications work, but basically it improves pregnancy and live birth rate outcomes in patients who are infertile because of the fact that they have anovulatory cycles or a.k.a. they are not ovulating.Then we also have clomiphene which is just an alternative to letrozole and has a different mechanism of action but it also stimulates ovulation by more particularly causing a pulsatile secretion of GnRH and in turn increasing FSH and LH as well, and this medication might be actually preferred over metformin monotherapy in women that are suffering from obesity syndrome who also have anovulatory infertility. However, apparently, clomiphene can cause more chance of multiple gestations versus letrozole.Also, letrozole is preferred over clomiphene to induce ovulation because of a higher rate of live births, but we have the risk of multiple pregnancies with both these methods. Let's talk about the second-line therapies.As mentioned earlier we have this 2 to 1 ratio of FSH to LH in women with PCOS or at least a good amount of them. We said that that is not required to diagnose this disorder but we can also give women exogenous FSH plus human menopausal gonadotropin, but this is really a second-line treatment for ovulation induction and typically we go for second-line treatments if first-line therapies aren't successful. But I will mention that using this exogenous gonadotropin is very expensive and it requires you to have access to specialized healthcare facilities and constant ultrasound monitoring so this may just not be feasible for many people but if you have the resources and it's affordable for you then exogenous gonadotropins are actually preferred over clomiphene and metformin therapy.Metformin can also use as a second-line monotherapy for fertility treatments and this in combination with clomiphene can increase pregnancy rates, especially in women who are suffering from obesity disorder, and of course, this is first-line therapy for insulin resistance.Now if we're talking about an invasive type of procedure for infertility it would be laparoscopic ovarian drilling which basically, we use a laser beam or surgical needle to reduce ovarian tissue to decrease its volume and try to reduce androgen production. Doing this can cause a hormone shift that can induce FSH secretion and ultimately improve ovarian function as well. This is also a second-line treatment for ovulation induction, but it can be performed as a first line if other indications for laparoscopy are present. Third-line therapy would be in vitro fertilization which means that basically we take mature eggs from ovaries and then we fertilize them with sperm in a lab and then the fertilized egg or the embryo is transferred to a uterus to be implanted.For the management of hirsutism, the first-line therapy is usually non-pharmacological and that's electrolysis or light-based hair removal with laser or photo-epilation. For acne, we can consider benzoyl peroxide or topical antibiotics if necessary.Final thoughts: Now I know that was a ton of information but ultimately, we are trying to make women more aware of PCOS and let them know that they are not alone, also we are trying to reduce complications such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes, endometrial cancer, infertility or even pregnancy loss. The best we can do is try to educate more women because many are suffering from this condition and they have no idea. Again, my name is Elika Salimi, and I am a third-year medical student. If you have any questions, you can reach me at elika.salimi@westernu.edu.___________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 139, “What is PCOS.” Future Dr. Salimi explained that patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome present with: Hyperandrogenism, Oligo-ovulation or anovulation, and multiple cysts in ovaries. If your patient meets 2 out of the 3 criteria, then you can confidently give the diagnosis of PCOS. Dr. Arreaza reminded us that by treating obesity you are also treating PCOS. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Elika Salimi. Audio editing by Adrianne Silva.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

We found out last Monday evening that the Colorado legislature is ramming through a package of three radical pro-abortion bills: SB23-188, SB23-189, and SB23-190.The most dangerous and impacting to pregnancy resource centers is SB23-190: Deceptive Trade Practice Pregnancy-related Service. The language of this bill could penalize pregnancy centers for trying to advertise their services to help pregnant women in crisis. Even more devastating is a clear ban on any means of offering anything intending to reverse an abortion pill.Chelsea and I spent this last week engaged in this battle. Tuesday evening we were working on Chelsea's testimony for the judiciary committee on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we worked on information to send out to legislators about this bill.In this episode we play Chelsea's testimony in the bill committee. We also play some salient points from other testimonies. In particular, we respond to some of the testimony of Dr. Mitchell Creinin, who conducted the world-renowned "inconclusive" clinical trial on abortion pill reversal.

Samantha Reisz, she/her, is a Scholarly Assistant Professor of Human Development at Washington State University in Vancouver, Washington, just outside of the Portland, Oregon area. She completed her bachelor's in Psychology and master's in Infant Mental Health from Mills College in Oakland, California when she first began studying childbirth. Samantha then earned her PhD in Human Development and Family Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin, where she studied infant parent relationships and the transition to parenthood. Samantha is a passionate scholar and educator. After years of studying these topics academically, she finally was able to live her own research with the birth of her first child. Samantha lives in Vancouver, Washington with her baby, partner, and two dogs. Samantha shares how she prepared to give birth for the first time with the use of a doula who recommended the EBB Childbirth Course. Samantha and her partner planned for a waterbirth in a hospital with an OBGYN attending the birth. After experiencing the beautiful waterbirth she had desired, complications arose in the 3rd stage with a placental cord avulsion. Her “Golden Ticket Birth Team” was skilled and prepared to support her through this experience.

Ep. 14 Cosmetic Gynecology with Dr. Cheryl Iglesia

In this episode, Dr. Mark Hoffman invites Dr. Cheryl Iglesia to shed light on the topic of cosmetic gynecology. --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Iglesia is the Director of the Section of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, as well the current President of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons. In addition to being involved with a consensus document regarding cosmetic gynecology, Dr. Iglesia has contributed numerous studies to the growing field and hopes to educate other providers on the topic. The episode begins with Dr. Iglesia sharing how she became passionate about cosmetic gynecology. Her experience initially began with a weekend course in California learning about topics such as “laser vaginal rejuvenation” and “designer laser vaginoplasty,” which were early marketing terms used for the field. After multiple years of training and education within a field filled with gray areas and limited evidence-based medicine, she later helped develop a consensus document about cosmetic gynecology procedures, which provides clarification for patients and opportunity for future research studies. Dr. Iglesia then describes the field of cosmetic gynecology, which includes the elective intervention to alter the aesthetic appearance of the external genitalia or modify the genital organs. These elective, functional procedures may be performed in the absence of any pathology (e.g., no incontinence, prolapse, etc.) with the goal of improving a person's quality of life (e.g., sexual function). She describes two pillars of the field, including cosmetic (e.g., labiaplasty) versus functional (e.g., surgical tightening of the vagina for vaginal laxity) procedures. The physicians then address the concerns of societal pressure, agreeing that the goal is to help patients make well-informed, ethical decisions, which requires discussing goals with patients. After discussing the field as a whole, Dr. Iglesia then highlights different procedures and technologies. For example, a fractionated laser may be used to stimulate tissue growth and may be utilized for diagnosis such as genitourinary syndrome (GSM) of menopause or lichen sclerosis. In addition, she briefly mentions aesthetic procedures, including a clitoral frenulum reduction (frenulectomy) or clitoral amplification with platelet rich plasma or the O-Shot. She addresses that a lot of the procedures and technologies are proprietary, have limited evidence, and are not risk-free. Ultimately, Dr. Iglesia states that there is a need for more data, urging the need for future level I trials. --- RESOURCES Developed by the Joint Writing Group of the International Urogynecological Association and the American Urogynecologic Society.

Anti-D immune globulin has been advocated for use in appropriate patients since the 1970s. Historic data showed that 0.1ml of fetal D+ blood was all that was required to potentially sensitize an Rh negative mother. New data is questioning whether this prophylaxis is required in all cases of threatened miscarriage/abortion in early pregnancy, or if a more selective approach is appropriate. In this episode, we will highlight a soon to be released “Questioning Clinical Practice” commentary from Obstet Gynecol (the Green Journal) tackling this issue.

On this episode, BackTable VI host Dr. Christopher Beck shares the mic with two Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists, Drs. Roxane Rampersad at Washington University and Tony Shanks at Indiana University, to discuss cross-specialty management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) between OBGYN and interventional radiology (IR). --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/ASxPdP --- SHOW NOTES To set the stage, Drs. Rampersad and Shanks explain the definition of PPH based on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines. They further describe the differences between early / acute versus late blood loss, in addition to the most common etiologies using the “Four T's” pneumonic: tone, trauma, tissue, thrombin. Drs. Rampersad and Shanks then describe their approach to the workup and management of PPH. The group discusses topics such as uterine massage, oxytocin, hemabate / methergine, tamponade (e.g. Bakri balloon, the JADA System), embolization, and hysterectomy. The physicians then describe the role of cross-specialty collaboration between OBGYN and IR, specifically in the management of PPH. When highlighting the role of IR, Dr. Beck describes how he counsels patients for uterine artery embolization (UAE), and he provides an anecdote regarding a repeat UAE. He also shares his perspective with utilization of gel foam versus coils. The group then transitions to describe diagnosis and management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), its association with PPH, and the role of radiology in this disease process. Lastly, Drs. Rampersad and Shanks allude to what the future may hold for PPH, including more personalized medicine and potential technologies to prevent PAS. The group ends the episode by providing IR colleagues with insight to what may strengthen the collaboration between OBGYN and IR in order to provide optimal care for patients with PPH. --- RESOURCES Silver RM, et al.

On today's podcast, we're going to talk with Stephaney Moody, a Health Equity Ambassador and an advocate for Healthy Birthday and Count the Kicks about the importance of kick counting to prevent stillbirth. Stephaney Moody's passion for stillbirth prevention came after her family experienced loss, when her sister lost her daughter. Upon learning about the inequities that persist in stillbirth outcomes in the African-American Community, she felt led to join the fight against preventable stillbirth and strive for equity. Stephaney is also the Founder of Black Women's Health and Wellness Webcast which addresses issues that impact the health and wellbeing of African-American women. She also serves in her community as a Pastor at New Beginnings Discipleship Ministries and as a Chaplain to the Des Moines Police Department. We will talk about the importance of kick counting in the third trimester to prevent stillbirth. Stephaney shares how her family has been affected by stillbirth and how she became involved in Kick the Counts, an evidence-based stillbirth prevention public health awareness campaign for expectant parents in the 3rd trimester. We will discuss the evidence on kick counting and how Count the Kicks and Healthy Birthday's public health and awareness campaigns are having a direct impact on stillbirth rates in the United States and abroad.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Pelvic Pain

Guest: Isabel C. Green, M.D. Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD) Pelvic pain can be challenging. It can have a variety of presenting symptoms since it can originate from a variety of organ systems. When pelvic pain becomes chronic, it becomes even more challenging. It's associated with significant direct medical costs as well as indirect costs as it frequently results in work absenteeism. Patients with chronic pelvic pain are often initially evaluated by primary care providers, but referral to specialists is quite common. Due to the variety of symptoms associated with chronic pelvic pain, multiple specialties often are asked to evaluate these patients. This frequently results in patients being passed back and forth between various medical specialties. It therefore becomes important for primary care providers to become comfortable evaluating and managing patients with pelvic pain. Our guest for this podcast is Dr. Isabel Green, a physician from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Mayo Clinic. We'll discuss how to effectively evaluate patients with pelvic pain, “red flag symptoms” to watch for, useful laboratory tests to order, and common imaging studies which can be helpful in establishing a cause for the pain. We'll also discuss the benefits of a multi-disciplinary approach to pelvic pain. Specific topics: Categorization of pelvic pain Appropriate evaluation of pelvic pain including the clinical history, physical exam, laboratory tests and imaging studies Relationship of chronic pelvic pain with other symptoms such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and work/relationship issues Chronic pelvic pain representing a form of centralized pain Advantages of a multi-disciplinary approach to evaluating and managing chronic pelvic pain Additional resources: Chronic pelvic pain: ACOG practice bulletin, number 218.

Even though we have covered this topic in a prior podcast, the urgent need for Hepatitis C screening in pregnant women still leads the medical literature. In the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, a new current commentary will soon be released titled, “A call to action: the urgent need for hepatitis C screening in pregnant women“. In this podcast, we will summarize the key aspects of this current commentary, proving that despite the ACOG recommendation of using a risk-based model, that ACOG recommendation is now outdated.

In this episode, I am excited to share the evidence on vaginal birth after Cesarean, or VBAC. We have received many requests at Evidence Based Birth to cover this topic, so I want to share with you the information on VBAC that I present in a class we teach in the EBB Higher Ed program. In this podcast, I define some common terms related to VBAC and talk about the history of the procedure. By the end, you will have the facts on the prevalence and risk factors for uterine rupture, and you’ll understand some of the maternal, fetal, and newborn risks of VBAC, elective repeat Cesarean, and Cesarean birth after Cesarean.

Currently, the ACOG and SMFM recommend a “risk-based” approach to HCV screening in pregnancy. HOWEVER, a soon to be published original article (February 2020) in Obstet Gynecol confirms that “The reported prevalence of maternal HCV infection has increased 161% from 2009 to 2017”. The IDSA has called for UNIVERSAL screening of HCV. In the session, we will review the Nov 2019 IDSA HCV screening recommendations and provide key points from the Rossi et al Feb 2020 Green Journal publication.

Serum uric acid levels are often ordered for the evaluation of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. But why is this done? Is this test able to guide clinical management? A staple of PIH evaluation in the 1970s and 1980s, uric acid levels are still around. In this session, we will review why uric acid determinations for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is not clinically useful – in general.
