The medical community is constantly revising the guidelines for dealing with disease and health and wellness issues. This makes sense when one considers there's new research all the time. But these changes can make it difficult for patients to know when they need to see their doctor.
One of the latest changes is how often a woman needs a pap smear. While this used to be an annual event, the guidelines have recently changed.
How an OBGYN Can Help Treat Abnormal Bleeding Due to Endometrial Hyperplasia
Dealing with unusual vaginal bleeding can be both frustrating and scary for a woman. The best thing to do is to see your OBGYN and get a diagnosis. Once you have that diagnosis, your doctor will be better able to recommend a treatment that can control or put an end to the bleeding. One common diagnosis for unusual bleeding is called endometrial hyperplasia. This is a condition in which your uterine lining becomes too thick, leading to excessive bleeding.
About Me
I have never been one of those people who is overly concerned about finding the "perfect" doctor, but about six months ago, my wife told me that she was pregnant. I knew that we needed to find a professional who would care for my wife just like a member of their own family, so we started the search with an open mind.

It was incredible to see how much of a difference that positive OBGYN experience made for my wife. Read more about finding a great doctor on this blog.
