Cervical cancer represents a success story in developed countries due to screening and vaccination, yet remains a significant global health problem with over 340,000 deaths annually worldwide. We explore the current state of cervical cancer prevention, screening, and treatment while discussing exciting advances that could eventually eliminate this disease. • Different levels of prevention for cervical cancer: primordial, primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary • HPV vaccination as the most effective primary prevention method, with Australia on track to make cervical cancer rare by 2035 • Evolution from Pap smears to primary HPV testing, with potential future urine-based screening options • Less radical surgical approaches for early-stage disease, improving quality of life without compromising outcomes • Immunotherapy advances showing 6-12 month survival benefits in metastatic disease • Howard Kelly's pioneering work with radium in the early 1900s, establishing foundations for radiation therapy • Importance of addressing healthcare disparities, as rural Americans are 25% more likely to develop cervical cancer and 42% more likely to die from it Visit our website at thinkingaboutobgyn.com for more information and follow us on Instagram for updates. 00:00:00 Introduction to Cervical Cancer 00:08:10 Prevention Strategies Explained 00:18:02 HPV Screening Evolution 00:26:51 Treatment of Early-Stage Disease 00:37:09 Advances in Locally Advanced Disease 00:50:31 Radium and Howard Kelly's History 01:02:48 Final Thoughts on Prevention Follow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn .…

Howard and Antonia explore the evidence behind pit breaks in labor, cannabis use in pregnancy, and IUD options for hormone replacement therapy. • Pit breaks in labor lack substantial evidence of benefit when used in active labor • Current research suggests stopping oxytocin during active labor may slightly increase cesarean rates rather than decrease them • Long pit breaks (up to 8 hours) in latent labor may be beneficial by allowing rest and promoting patience • Recent systematic review shows prenatal cannabis use increases risk of low birth weight by 75%, preterm birth by 50%, and perinatal mortality by 29% • Cannabis use during pregnancy (7.2% of pregnant women) now exceeds tobacco use • Retrospective studies on doula care show association with better outcomes, but can't establish causation due to inherent differences in patients who seek doulas • 52mg levonorgestrel IUDs (Mirena/Liletta) are suitable for endometrial protection during HRT, but evidence only supports use up to 5 years • Most systematic reviews combine heterogeneous studies and shouldn't be considered level 1 evidence We'd love to hear your questions!

Join Howard and Janeen Arbuckle for this discussion of pediatric and adolescent gynecology essentials. Pediatric and adolescent gynecology is a newer discipline bringing specialized care to young women with unique gynecologic needs, with a focus on counseling, education, and age-appropriate interventions. • Abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescents is rarely caused by structural problems (unlike in adults) and typically relates to immaturity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis • Hematologic workup should be considered for adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding as this may be the first time their clotting system is challenged • Hormonal therapies are safe to use once menarche has occurred, with no impact on bone growth • Long-acting reversible contraceptives offer superior pregnancy prevention (1 in 10,000 for implants vs 8 in 100 for typical pill use) but require thoughtful counseling • Private interviews with adolescent patients create trust while preparing them for independent healthcare navigation • Tranexamic acid is effective for heavy menstrual bleeding in adolescents but pill size and frequency can limit compliance • Most ovarian cysts in adolescents represent normal physiologic function and rarely require intervention • Preservation of reproductive organs should be prioritized in adolescent surgery, including leaving ovaries after torsion when possible • Vaginal bleeding in pre-pubertal girls requires assessment for secondary sexual characteristics to distinguish precocious puberty from other causes 00:00:00 Introduction to Pediatric Gynecology 00:07:20 Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Adolescents 00:19:36 Contraception Choices for Young Patients 00:29:40 Managing Difficult Patient-Parent Conversations 00:38:04 Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis 00:46:58 Adnexal Pathology and Ovarian Issues 00:50:51 Congenital Anomalies and Vaginal Bleeding Follow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn .…

This episode features our favorite podcast ninja, Dr. Maddie White. She and Howard discuss how medical dramatizations misrepresent obstetric emergencies (yes, we are watching The Pitt). Then, we dissect evidence-based approaches to common triage scenarios including labor evaluation, rupture of membranes, and preterm labor assessment. • Television shows like "The Pitt" and "ER" portray shoulder dystocia and postpartum hemorrhage inaccurately, lacking proper urgency and technique • Hospital-based labor triage often costs approximately 10 times more than office-based evaluation, often without clinical benefit • Understanding pretest probability fundamentally changes how test results should be interpreted for suspected rupture of membranes • Most expensive tests like Amnisure (>$500) provide minimal additional value over traditional approaches when interpreted properly • Evidence doesn't support routine use of fetal fibronectin testing in preterm labor evaluation • We discuss universal cervical length screening for prevention of preterm labor in the midtrimester and later in pregnancy for evaluation of threatened preterm labor 00:00:53 Critiquing Obstetric Emergencies in TV Shows 00:10:13 Proper Management of Shoulder Dystocia 00:14:52 Postpartum Hemorrhage Management Approaches 00:19:59 Evaluating Term Labor Complaints 00:25:35 Rupture of Membranes Testing Strategies 00:34:12 Understanding Test Probability and Performance 00:42:26 Cervical Length Screening Evidence 00:51:23 Preterm Labor Triage Tools 01:00:23 Concluding Thoughts on Evidence-Based Practice Follow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn .…

Challenge preconceived notions in obstetrics and gynecology with our latest episode, where we dismantle myths that have long influenced medical practices, even in the absence of scientific backing. From unraveling the misunderstood reaction between alcohol and metronidazole to examining the overlooked risks of clindamycin cream, we'll look at how these misconceptions take root in medical culture. We continue with a critical analysis of intrapartum GBS prophylaxis, correcting widespread misunderstandings around its purpose and timing during labor and how it affects labor management. We address the rise of dubious hormone tests, like the DUTCH Test, marketed to consumers, painting a cautionary picture of how social media amplifies these unvalidated products. We highlight the importance of consulting healthcare professionals while discussing the potential paradigm shift that self-collected HPV testing could bring to cervical screening, as recommended in the coming cervical cancer screening guiudelines. This new approach might revolutionize screening rates and quality of care, especially for underserved populations, all while realigning healthcare providers' focus on more pressing medical needs. Prepare for an engaging conclusion as we scrutinize the comparative effectiveness of postpartum hemorrhage devices Jada and Bakri, emphasizing the ethical implications of cost versus efficacy.
