The hormones your uterus produces

A healthy uterus is one with it's hormones intact...wait, does that statement take you by surprise?! We always refer to the ovary as being an endocrine organ meaning that it produces substances that can affect other organs. In the case of the ovary, there are the two most important hormones (out of dozens) that this organ produces: estrogen and progesterone. These two hormones control whether you go into menopause. So that in fact, just removing the uterus, and leaving the ov

What to do when birth control pills are not controlling your cycle

At Women's Health Practice we have conducted over 100 clinical research trials in many aspects of women's health. Contraceptive advances and helping women control irregular menstrual cycles is one of our most important issues we have helped study.

The best way to eliminate hot flashes

Hot flashes in a menopausal woman comes from the aging ovaries inability to ovulate any longer and finally the shortage of eggs and withdrawal of and then chronically low levels of estrogen.

What is a Polyp of the Uterus and Why is it not Healthy?

The lining of the uterus is lush and carpet-like in most women, however locally thick tissue can out-pouch into a teardrop shaped structure. These growths are called polyps.

A polyp can interfe

The definition of a normal menstrual period

How do you know if your period is normal? The number of days tells you that for one, about 9/10 women will have cycles that last between 24 to 35 days and bleed for about 4-6 days. If you just began to get your period, your cycles should have become regular in the first 5-7 years.Interestingly although we bleed for days, about half of all the bleeding is in the first 24 hours which is why women with heavy periods have so much trouble that very first day. Results have been re
