Marijuana Use In Pregnancy Persists Despite Dangers, Research Shows

More trouble on the Marijuana front.  Just as I predicted more and more women will see the "legalization" of marijuana as a pronouncement of safety for use even in pregnancy.  We are seeing a dramatic increase in patients who report marijuana use in the infertility population.  As more people begin to "consume" this drug, it

Researchers Examine Relationship Between Work Hours And Risk Of Miscarriage Or Preterm Birth

Here is more support for sleep disruption as a dramatic stressor in reproduction.  We have noticed that physiologic stress patients that we term "hypothalamic dysfunction" seem to have a much greater chance of miscarriage as well as no pregnancy or infertility.  This study makes the basic connection and is in no way proof of causation

Study Shows Women With Endometriosis More Likely To Use Opioids For Prolonged Periods, Use Benzodiazepines Concomitantly

Of course this is the case.  The medical system is failing endometriosis patients in a dramatic way.  If you were taught that endometriosis surgery doesn't work and that it recurs anyway, and that most medicines to treat pain only work or are allowed to be used short term, then as a doctor you really don't

Fertility Clinics Reportedly Refusing Treatment To Women With High BMI

  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/18/magazine/fertility-weight-obesity-ivf.html This is certainly a very emotional and controversial subject.  To read the coverage on this, you would think doctors are refusing care to patients because they don't like people who are overweight.  This is far from the truth.  A host of studies that look at IVF outcome based on BMI (body mass index

Uterine Fibroids

​Uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas) are extremely common muscle tumors (or growths) that develop from a single muscle cell within the womb.  It is stated in the literature that up to 75% of women develop a fibroid prior to menopause (1).  That being said, not all women require intervention.  The questions that need to
