Reproductive HealthComing this Spring: In-Person Health Care in Lubbock, Texas
This week, our very own Dr. Wolff joined forces with the Body Dynamics Institute (BDI) to discuss how reproductive disorders are often a sign of underlying health conditions, and why it is important to seek care early, regardless of intent to reproduce. Early detection of these disorders will not only reduce symptoms, but can prevent chronic injuries or poor recovery.
Before diving into the content, it is important to understand what Reproductive Endocrinology is; a specialty in the hormones of the reproductive system. While most reproductive endocrinologists focus on IVF or IUI, they also have extensive training in all sorts of disorders, such as thyroid, adrenal, ovarian and pituitary disorders. These hormone disorders are important because hormones are the chemical messengers in the body, and can signal overall health or common conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed. In fact, hormonal disorders are the third most common condition in the US!
