Your health matters, and you deserve specialized care tailored to your athletic lifestyle.

Contraception

Female athletes may have unique considerations when it comes to choosing contraception methods that suit their lifestyle, training schedules, and hormonal balance. Certain contraceptives may affect menstrual patterns or athletic performance.

I provide personalized counseling sessions to discuss contraception options, helping athletes weigh the pros and cons based on their unique circumstances. Additionally, I offer detailed information about each method's potential effects on menstrual patterns and athletic performance. I also offer ongoing support, monitoring contraceptive use, addressing concerns, and making recommendations to optimize both reproductive and athletic well-being.

Menstrual Irregularities

Female athletes frequently experience menstrual irregularities, such as irregular periods, missed periods (amenorrhea), or infrequent periods (oligomenorrhea), which can impact fertility and overall reproductive health.

I offer review your menstrual history, exercise regimen, nutritional status, stress levels, and overall health to identify factors contributing to menstrual irregularities. Additionally, I provide recommendations for ordering and interpreting hormonal tests, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone levels, to assess ovarian function and hormone balance. Based on your labs, I provide treatment recommendations including hormonal therapies, lifestyle adjustments, nutritional supplementation, and stress reduction strategies. redu strategies.

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is relatively common among female athletes, particularly those engaging in high-impact activities like running or jumping. Factors such as pelvic floor weakness, hormonal changes, improper training techniques, and hydration practices contribute to this condition.

I review your symptoms, exercise regimen, pelvic floor function, hormonal status, hydration practices, and overall health to identify potential contributing factors. Additionally, I help identify possible pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction contributing to urinary incontinence. I provide personalized exercise programs tailored to address pelvic floor weakness, improve core stability, and optimize bladder control.I recommend evidence-based urogynecological treatments, including medications for bladder muscle relaxation, injections, pessary placement for additional support, sling placement surgery, and neuromodulation techniques, alongside behavioral strategies such as timed voiding schedules, pelvic floor muscle contractions during high-impact movements, and bladder retraining techniques, to manage urinary incontinence during sports activities.

Vaginal Health

Certain sports-related factors, such as friction, moisture, and hygiene practices, can influence vaginal health and increase the risk of conditions such as vulvovaginitis, yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis.

I offer hygiene guidance to minimize infection risk before and after sports activities. Additionally, I provide behavioral strategies to reduce the likelihood of vaginal infections from sports-related practices. For clients experiencing symptoms such as vulvovaginitis, yeast infections, or bacterial vaginosis, I offer treatment recommendations including medications, lifestyle adjustments, and supportive care.

PMS

Symptoms such as mood changes, fatigue, bloating, and cramping can impact athletic performance and overall well-being. Managing PMS may involve lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapy, and nutritional interventions to support female athletes in maintaining optimal performance throughout their menstrual cycles.

I offer comprehensive recommendations to managing PMS symptoms, including evidence-based treatments and holistic options tailored to your needs. Recommendations include hormonal therapy, supplements like vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which have shown efficacy in reducing PMS symptoms in certain individuals. I emphasize lifestyle modifications to address PMS symptoms, providing guidance on dietary adjustments, stress management techniques, regular exercise, and quality sleep. I recommend alternative therapies like acupuncture, massage therapy, or herbal remedies, alongside complementary approaches such as combining yoga or acupuncture with medication.

What I Offer

A common problem female athletes often encounter when seeking help with their gynecological concerns is a lack of understanding or consideration of their unique athletic needs by healthcare providers. This can lead to misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment plans, or dismissive attitudes towards their symptoms, ultimately hindering their ability to effectively address and manage their gynecological health issues.

I focus on a holistic approach that blends health expertise with a deep understanding of athletic demands. Recognizing the unique challenges female athletes face, I customize care strategies to meet individual needs within gynecological health. Through open dialogue and teamwork, I ensure athletes feel heard and supported, validating their experiences every step of the way.
