Today is #WorldPCOSDay! Many women remain undiagnosed and unaware of polycystic ovary syndrome (#PCOS). Let's change that. Educate yourself, spread the word, and support those affected. Knowledge is power! 1) Have you heard of polycystic ovary syndrome? - This common hormonal condition affects women throughout their lifespan, often beginning in adolescence. - Many cases go undiagnosed. - Symptoms can vary over time. 2) Curious about your symptoms? - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome can cause hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, high androgen levels (such as testosterone), and problems with ovulation. - These issues can make pregnancy challenging. - Not everyone with polycystic ovary syndrome experiences the same symptoms. Symptoms may also change over time and often occur without a clear reason. 3) Polycystic ovary syndrome can impact #mentalhealth. 4) Stigma around PCOS symptoms such as infertility, obesity & unwanted hair growth can affect body image, mental health, relationships, work, and social life. 5) Polycystic ovary syndrome is common, but many women and healthcare providers miss the signs. - Irregular periods, trouble conceiving, acne, or excess hair could be red flags. 6) There is no cure for PCOS, but treatments can improve symptoms. 7) Lifestyle changes can go a long way in relieving some symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. 8) Healthy nutrition, getting enough exercise, and sleep can help reduce weight and the risk of type 2 diabetes and other conditions associated with PCOS. 9) Birth control can help regulate your menstrual cycle and keep PCOS symptoms in check. 10) Other meds can address acne, unwanted hair, blood pressure, mental health, and other conditions connected to PCOS.

🚀 Exciting News in Endometriosis Diagnosis and a Must-Listen Podcast Episode! 🎙️ The The National Institutes of Health's RADx Tech ACT ENDO Challenge has just announced a groundbreaking initiative to accelerate innovative endometriosis diagnostic technologies, with a $3 million prize pool up for grabs! This challenge aims to address the urgent need for non-invasive, accessible, and effective diagnostic solutions for endometriosis — a condition affecting 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, often with diagnosis delays of up to 8 years and requiring invasive procedures. In light of this exciting development, we’re thrilled to present a new podcast episode featuring Yana Aznavour, MD, PhD, a trailblazing femtech entrepreneur and former ObGyn. Dr. Aznavour shares her remarkable journey from clinical practice to founding Endometrics, a startup dedicated to non-invasive endometriosis diagnosis using menstrual blood sample. 🎧 Tune in to learn: - How Dr. Aznavour transitioned from clinician to startup founder in the biotech space? - The unique challenges of developing female-specific medical products - The benefits of Berkeley SkyDeck accelerator program for first-time founders - Strategies for pitching to investors who may not understand women’s health issues - Balancing product development with fundraising efforts - Insights on the pros and cons of different business models for diagnostic startups Hosted by Elena Lipilina, founder of Visible Sports, this podcast offers real conversations with femtech pioneers. Want to hear more about Yana’s incredible journey and how Endometrics is innovating endometriosis diagnostics?

Are more than 25% of recurrent pregnancy losses due to luteal phase deficiency (LPD)? Ovulation is a key indicator of health, which means it is critical for future physicians to learn how to read the female cycle chart and evaluate each phase, including the luteal phase, to assess a woman’s hormonal health. Plus, being able to identify ovulation is crucial for timing the blood draws required to identify LPD. Learn the latest on LPD, including diagnostic criteria and more in our recent blog.

💫 We are honoured to welcome Dr. Craig Turczynski, Ph.D. as one of our esteemed speakers this August 7-10th at our 20th International Congress for Restorative Reproductive Medicine (#RRMCongress) 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6rS3rma 🙌 Join ONLINE 👨💻 or IN-PERSON 🛬 🌐 All presentations in: English & Español This presentation will: ✔ Compare and contrast the ART and RRM approaches to patient care. ✔ Summarize the potential undesirable consequences of each form of treatment. ✔ Break down the success of each approach by etiology. Dr. Craig Turczynski holds a Ph.D. in Physiology of Reproduction and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in reproductive endocrinology at the Women’s Research Institute in Wichita, KS. He then became an Assistant Professor of ObGyn at Louisiana State University Medical School-Shreveport, where he developed and directed their clinical hormone, andrology, and IVF laboratories. After 7 years, he left the IVF field due to conflicts with the aggressive use of the technology. Subsequently, he received training in the Creighton Model and the Billings Ovulation Method®. To rekindle his science career, Craig completed the FEMM medical management training, conducted a fellowship in restorative reproductive medicine with Dr. Phil Boyle, and recertified as an andrology laboratory scientist. He believes in the intersection of virtue and science and aligns himself with organizations that seek the root cause of disease and therapeutic cures. His experience performing semen testing and IVF gives him a unique understanding of gamete physiology. #rrmcongress #restorativereproductivemedicine
