Doctors warn against ‘overwhelming’ surge of online disinformation on menopause
“The normalization of a natural physiologic transition has prompted an entire new online world that, at times, pushes women to spend money on useless, or even potentially harmful products.”

@anna_lillith I like the idea, but I'd really like if they included advice to have the patient insert it themself.
They said "like a tampon", so include the option to direct the consultation.
Doc wants it wider? Let the patient squeeze the control thing. Doc wants to angle it? Ask if the patient can do it, or hold it steady.Less "you are an unruly experiment" and more "ah yes, let's collaborate on this mutual project of my vaj health".

Hey, isn't that weird to call it ObGyn or OBGYN instead of, say, GynOb or GYNOB?
You have a vaj and gut sack before you have anything in there, obviously.https://zerotofinalsshop.com/products/zero-to-finals-obstetrics-and-gynaecology
Also the trans mascs might like to go see a Guy Knob doctor, idk.

New hospital in texas will not have the ability to deliver babies. Compounding this is the flight of OBGYN who do not want to deal with the texas taliban. 60% of rural areas in the state cannot deliver babies. The exodus and lack of care is being felt as maternal deaths spike as well. Also the hospitals that do are inundated as they have to absorb surrounding areas that cannot.
This is assuming rural hospitals even survive the bill that the taliban voted for in regards to health care cuts

BTW, you should know that the $377 million U.S. cut to UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund, the global org’s women’s reproductive care agency) funding this year is COSTING LIVES.
Women and girls across the globe — including pregnant women, mothers, and young girls — face higher risks of maternal death and unintended pregnancy while childbirth care is disrupted, contraception becomes scarce, and services for survivors of violence shrink. Adolescent girls are robbed of education, forced into child marriages, and brutalized by female genital mutilation.
In regions impacted by conflict, climate emergencies, and humanitarian disasters, UNFPA-supported clinics are being forced to close or reduce safe deliveries and emergency obstetric care. #TrumpAdministration #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #women #girls #OBGYN #UNFPA #FamilyPlanning -

Omfg. Read section 3.4 "Learning Disabilities support" on page 5. Literally everyone will be helped by these suggestions, not just diagnosed disabled people.

Although 7% of people with learning disabilities become parents ( Best Beginnings) the Equality Act 2010 obligates responsibility to service providers to ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to ensure the holistic needs of people with learning disabilities are met to the highest standards.
Remember to think VALUE ME! (Appendix 1)1. Early intervention strategies should be considered. Ensure that the community midwife is involved and if they are under 20 consider discussion with the specialist teenage pregnancy midwife for additional support.
2. Professionals should ensure that adequate time is provided for consultations, appointments and formal discussions. Taking time to allow the woman to understand the information in

3. Professionals should ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to aid with understanding. Including: easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.
4. Abilities led practice rather than inabilities led practice. Professionals should avoid making assumptions based on a diagnosis of a learning disability as often mothers will have their own anxieties, fears and worries regarding motherhood.
5. Avoid assuming that mothers are being difficult. Consider other possible reasons such as the environment, loud noises, bright lights (especially if they have a dual diagnosis of learning disability and ASD), sensory needs, stress and anxiety.

Kat Cammack, a Florida Republican, struggled to get care for an ectopic pregnancy due to her state’s abortion ban.
Is she fighting to change the ban? Talking about those who’ve lost their lives?
No. She’s blaming the left. Saying it’s pro abortion “fear mongering” that caused the delay.
She’s blaming the very people who’ve been trying to save her & those like her.
Her delay was caused by healthcare workers fearing criminal prosecution.
They can’t intervene until it’s clear the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
It’s a horribly difficult judgment call no healthcare worker should ever be forced to make.
Shame on Kat for not taking her experience and using it to save lives.

What’s worse, Adriana tried to get medical care for her headaches. She knew something was wrong. Despite being a nurse, she was dismissed.
When I had my hysterectomy complication, I was sent home 3 times from ER. Gaslit & told I was fine
I survived based on luck because I had a man to fight for me:

Adriana Smith was a 30 Year old pregnant, black woman who tried to seek medical care for severe headaches.
She was dismissed and sent home with brain bleeds
She died the next day. She’s suffered brain death, yet her body is being kept alive because she was 9 weeks pregnant.
One of the first questions I had was whether she had an Advance Directive or DNR, as healthcare workers know how important those documents are.
Did you know only EIGHT US States allow pregnant people full autonomy over what happens in the case of catastrophic illness or injury?
The rest can (and do) overrule the patient’s wishes.
Pregnancy is dangerous. Women have been stripped of their autonomy in life AND death.
