Take a Deep Breath, You’re Fireproof

Being a woman is something that isn’t to be joked about or taken lightly. It takes the strongest of the strong and the bravest of the brave to face what we do every.single.day. I mean, we’re like superheroes. We bleed every month and can still dominate in the boardrooms all while wearing 5-inch stilettos. Women are the cream of the crop.

 I have to admit that even with all of our visible greatness; the health issues we face can be discouraging to even the brightest and prettiest woman of our time. We deal with deadly issues such as Toxic Shock Syndrome, Maternal Death, surprisingly enough, Heart Disease! This is something that is highly unfortunate and should not be ignored.

While we’re on the topic of the importance of visiting the GYN, just thought I’d dispel the most common fears when a female walks into our offices for the first time.

1.           We will not share your information with anyone, no matter what the circumstance. Here at Jersey GYN, we believe in privacy to the highest degree!

2.          The doctor and nurses will NOT gossip about your fears or health status among themselves and/or other patients. We won’t make fun of any questions or procedures you would like to receive.

3.          If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or nervousness regarding an upcoming visit, you are more than welcome to bring along a relative or friend!

4.          Though not listed on our site, our licensed medical practitioners are also trained to diagnosis and treat: Chlamydia, Ovarian cysts, Vulva cancer, Hormonal Disorders, Permanent Birth control and the like!

5.          Please do not hesitate to share your fears, thoughts, and worries with your doctor. A doctor-patient relationship is one that thrives off of openness, honesty, and mutual respect.

And yes, I know there is a stigma regarding the gynecologist but isn’t it worth the risk? Or would you rather have your 16-year old daughter sobbing in the front row of your funeral all because you decide to avoid the pelvic pain or bump you felt in your breast?

While this is a medical site suited to inform its patients about the services it provides,  it is also BY women and FOR women. And even Joey from down the street knows that females harbor an unmatchable volume of emotional depth. So why not take the time to offer encouraging words to the 21-year old women sitting in the waiting room dreading the news that she’s about to receive regarding her test results?

Regardless of what you’re condition has and/or is trying to do to your body, please believe that with the treatments and additional lifestyle changes, you CAN live a long and fulfilling life. You’ll see your children graduate college, bake cookies on Christmas Eve with your grandkids, and play Bingo every Saturday in your 80s.
