Pregnancy and Child Health 5 years, 9 months agoThe “fourth trimester” is defined as the first three months after the baby is born. Typically, most patients receive one, sometimes two, post-partum visits after their baby is born. This can lead to a discontinuity in care for post-partum patients. Recently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have reviewed the typical “one…[Read more]

I think this is a great new initiative. I applaud the comprehensive, yet individualized approach they recommend. I doubt that physicians alone will be able to supply this higher level of care for the “4th trimester”, but I envision many of these services would be suitable for the whole health care team to participate in. This would include nurses,…[Read more]

STD’s and STI’s: What’s going on down there? 5 years, 12 months agoWhile people don’t think about it. Mosquitos are more than just a nuisance, they too can carry diseases. Zika can be sexually transmitted from a person who has Zika to his or her sex partners, even while they are not symptomatic. While we aren’t in mosquito season yet, it’s right around the corner, not to mention many Americans seek warmer…[Read more]

STD’s and STI’s: What’s going on down there? 6 years agoI noticed in your uploaded files that we are seeing increases in cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea in Allegany County. Have you noticed any increase in the number of people seeking to be tested? In your experience, what % of people seeking to be tested are having symptoms of disease, and what % is not having any symptoms at all, but are just concerned?
-
Great questions! I do not believe there has been an increase in any specific population seeking testing. In my experience, about half of the individuals that present to clinic for a routine screening and test positive for chlamydia and/or gonorrhea are not having symptoms.

I like this file, lots of helpful info.
-
I just reviewed all the documents and found them useful. Now I have a question. What makes pregnant women at higher risk for STD/STI?
-
The pregnant woman who has an untreated STI/STD is placing her fetus at risk. Many of these germs can pass to the baby and cause harm to the baby, and therefore pregnancy is a higher risk category. I do not know of other rationales, maybe we will hear from someone else.
-
That makes sense, thanks.
