Is it safe for pregnant women to fly?
Thanks for a good question. As long as you don't have any complications that would preclude you, air travel is safe in pregnancy. Most obstetric providers won't want you in the air and away from home beyond about 34-36 weeks. Remember to get plenty of fluids and keep your legs active to promote good blood flow. Hope this helps!

When can I not fly while pregnant?
It is generally recommended not to fly after about 34-36 weeks in a normal pregnancy. It is not more dangerous to fly later into pregnancy. It's just more likely that labor occurs the later it gets. It's also best if you don't go into labor away from home or on an airplane. Sitting for hours increases the risk of blood clots in your legs, so stay mobile when you can. Keep your seat belt on when you are at your seat. Stay hydrated and wash your hands. Also, check with your airline on restrictions as some require a note to fly beyond certain gestational ages. I hope this helps. Have fun! READ MORE
Why can't I get pregnant?
This is a complicated question as there are many different causes of infertility. The best place to start is with your Ob/Gyn. They will help you find the reason for infertility and plan toward a solution. I hope this helps! READ MORE
How do a partial and full hysterectomy differ?
In the medical world, a "full" hysterectomy means the uterus and cervix are removed while a "partial" hysterectomy means the cervix is separated from the uterus and left behind. Lay people often refer to "full" as taking the ovaries as well and "partial" as leaving the ovaries. That is incorrect. Hysterectomy has nothing to do with the ovaries and refers only to the uterus and cervix. That said, the common treatment for uterine cancer is removal of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, cervix, and ovaries as well as sampling for possible spread of the cancer. This is known as a "staging procedure" because it gives more information as to the stage of the cancer. Hope this helps. Good luck! READ MORE
How do the patch and birth control pills differ?
The hormones in the birth control patch are similar to those in birth control pills. However, because they are absorbed through the skin rather than through your GI system, they are processed slightly different by the body. You may notice different (fewer) side effects than from the pill. Also, the birth control patch is worn for a week at a time rather than remembering a pill every day. Hope this helps. Good luck! -Bo Malmin READ MORE
Is vaginitis possible without vaginal discharge?
Vaginitis (inflammation/irritation of the vagina) and vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or yeast vaginitis can occur without vaginal discharge. If you have itchiness and irritation, it's best to see your provider to find out if there is an infection and get treatment for your symptoms. Hope this helps! READ MORE
What is an retroverted uterus?
Every woman's uterus points one direction or another, anterior to posterior. Most women's lean forward, anteverted. Yours just leans to the back. This is a TOTALLY normal variant and will not impact your fertility. There is some speculation about certain sexual positions increasing your chances of conceiving with a retroverted uterus. These have not been proven however. You can find them with a simple search online. I hope this helps! READ MORE
