As OB/GYNs, we know the cervix is round, with a small opening in the middle – kind of like a donut! And it’s up to us to protect our donuts. If you or someone you care about has a cervix, this is for you. 💕

Cervical health means routine, complete cervical cancer screening. Performing 𝘉𝘖𝘛𝘏 Pap and HPV tests is the most thorough way to screen for cervical cancer, guide treatment and save lives. The sample collection process is the same whether women & people with cervices get one test or two – so co-testing should be a no-brainer! Screening should not be taken away from us, especially not the most successful cancer screening tool of all time!
.

.

Recently the @americancancersociety
released new guidelines that eliminate the Pap test from their recommendations. Without the Pap, there is a greater risk for incomplete screening, which could lead to higher risk for cervical cancer. It’s time to stand up for the testing we not only deserve, but need.

· Posting a pic of yourself with your favorite donut
· Tagging your OB/GYN and health care colleagues to share a donut pic too! 🍩
· Tagging @acog_org to encourage them to commit to protecting ALL cervical cancer screening options for people 21 years and older

Endo Black invites you to join us for an afternoon of restoration & relaxation as we tap into our inner yogi. Flex on your Endo with us.
In collaboration with Yoga Phenomena Monia Fernandez (@monanaa_), Endo Black invites you to wind down with us. Self-care isn't just a saying, it's an art that has to be actualized. Endo comes with its daily woes, so we invite you to woo-sah. This is an event you don't want to miss.

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT THE RESOURCE PORTAL CREATED BY @endofound???

Many Black or Brown individuals google endometriosis for the first time, see the misinformation that endometriosis is only a white women’s disease, and look for another cause for their pain. It is then common for that person to lose years of their lives due to misdiagnosis and improperly-managed and incorrectly-treated pain. The purpose of this resource portal (link in bio) is for people of color who are experiencing pain and suspect they may have endometriosis to receive the correct information and hear from patients who look like them and have had similar experiences with the disease. Featuring videos from patients and doctors, as well as a patient resources sheet of questions to ask your doctor(s), this resource portal is an ongoing project aimed to combat diagnostic racism, increase disease awareness among POC communities, and help support people of color with endometriosis. If you’re a person of color with endometriosis and would like to share your story on this portal, please email info@endofound.org 💛

View from my desk this morning. 🥰 A reminder of the strength of women and the great responsibility and expectation we have to be great. What a privilege it is. #nationalwomenphysiciansday #docmom #femalesurgeon
#storyofmylife😂 🤣😒🙄
I received this from a patient today, in pre-op even before doing her surgery. It made me cry. Not just because she showed appreciation but because it was a sign that good old compassion, humility, and humanity still mean a lot. #ilovemypatients💕 #andtheylovemeback #docmom #womenshealth #healthadvocate
