Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine

Our patients are why we do what we do. We love hearing from our patients about how PRM has impacted them and we especially love hearing from patients like Theresa who have been through so much and we were able to change how healthcare feels for them. We know that pelvic pain patients, especially patients who have been suffering for so long with misdiagnoses, spend a lot of time looking for doctors who listen, and we are honored to be a part of their care team - and that includes everyone from our providers to our front office staff. I have been suffering from pelvic pain for most of my life. I was diagnosed with endometriosis via excision in 2021 and after about a year, my pain returned and new symptoms came with it. I have been misdiagnosed by every possible doctor, even told that I needed to learn to live with the pain, and that the pain was simply part of living life. I am halfway through my treatment at PRM and Dr. Ahmed has changed what going to the doctor is like for me. She listens to understand, is constantly recommending ways for me to live and manage my symptoms at home, and she has thoroughly explained the PRM Protocol and made sure we are targeting my pain for healing. Each treatment has gotten easier, and I’ve had pain-free days for the first time in probably 15 years. I am so grateful to the whole office for treating me so kindly, and I look forward to finishing my pre-hab, having my surgery with PRM and then doing post-hab. For the first time in my life with this illness, I feel hopeful. Give us a call. Dr. Ahmed sees patients in our Great Neck Long Island office and in our NYC office. 💜

Living with endometriosis can be challenging, but having a supportive friend can make all the difference. Here are 5 simple ways to be there for your endo bestie: Educate Yourself: Learn about endometriosis to better understand what they’re going through and how you can help. Listen and Validate: Be a compassionate ear when they need to talk. Acknowledge their struggles and let them know their feelings are valid. Be an Accountability Partner: Help them stick to their endo-friendly diet and lifestyle. Cook anti-inflammatory meals together and encourage regular walks. Attend Appointments: Offer to accompany them to medical visits for moral support. Your presence can ease their anxiety and show you care. Celebrate Small Wins: Recognize and celebrate every little victory, from a day with less pain to a successful day of eating anti-inflammatory foods. These moments of progress deserve to be acknowledged and celebrated! 💜

Did you know there are different types of PCOS? Understanding your type can help target treatment and improve your health. Here’s a quick guide: Insulin-Resistant PCOS: is the most common type and is caused by high insulin levels, which disrupts your hormone balance. If you’re struggling with weight gain, sugar cravings, or constant fatigue, this might be your type. Adrenal PCOS: occurs when your adrenal glands produce too many stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA-S. This type is often triggered by stress, leading to symptoms like anxiety, hair thinning, and irregular periods. Post-Pill PCOS: develops after coming off birth control pills, especially if you had regular cycles while on the pill but now experience irregular periods. It’s usually temporary, but symptoms like acne and hair loss can be frustrating as your hormones rebalance. Inflammatory PCOS: is driven by chronic inflammation, which affects hormone production and can lead to symptoms like skin issues, joint pain, and fatigue. Reducing inflammation through diet and lifestyle changes can help manage this type. 💜

You are allowed to put your health first, even when it means saying no. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to stay in, rest, and prioritize your well-being. Take the time you need to heal—self-care is always worth it. 💜

Did you know that women with PCOS should engage in at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week? We understand that pelvic pain can make this challenging. Our tailored workout schedule is specifically designed to help you meet your exercise goals comfortably. At PRM, we emphasize the importance of low-impact exercises for women with PCOS. High-intensity workouts can place undue stress on the pelvic muscles, potentially increasing discomfort and inflammation.

Our patients are why we do what we do. We love hearing from our patients about how PRM has impacted them and we especially love hearing from patients like Tara who have been through so much and we were able to change how healthcare feels for them. We know that pelvic pain patients, especially patients who have been suffering for so long with misdiagnoses, spend a lot of time looking for doctors who listen, and we are honored to be a part of their care team - and that includes everyone from our providers to our front office staff. Dr. Bagaria is very attentive during her appointments with patients. She takes the time to answer questions and review your past imaging/studies, which is incredibly important. In my experience, doctors haven't always taken women's pelvic health seriously, so it was refreshing to have a doctor review my imaging with me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bagaria to anyone seeking help for their pelvic issues. Give us a call. Dr. Bagaria sees patients in the Tri-State area and she accepts consults nationwide. 💜

One of the common symptoms of PCOS is intense cravings, and we know how hard it can be to resist reaching for quick pantry snacks. But did you know that many of those go-to snacks can actually trigger inflammation and worsen pelvic pain? Choosing healthier snack options can make a big difference. Look for snacks made with fewer ingredients and healthier oils, as these are less likely to cause inflammation. Opting for these smarter choices can help you manage cravings while supporting your overall health and well-being. Make the switch and feel the positive impact on your body!
