Dr. Elisa Brown-Pruett, M.D: MORE Q&A about Women's Health

In the second part of this two-part series on women’s health, Lacy brings your questions about polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), urinary incontinence, sex drive, hormones and weight gain (and more!) to Dr. Elisa Brown-Pruitt, M.D., Regional Director for the Laura Bush Institute for Women’s Health at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in Odessa.
 
In a recent webinar with Dr. Brown, we received more questions from participants than we had time for, many of them on this topic. In Part 2 of this two-part episode series, Dr. Brown gives her thoughtful answers to questions like:

• What is PCOS and is it our fault? (no!)
• How can I treat the symptoms of PCOS, like weight gain, at any age? How should birth control pills be used as a treatment for PCOS?
• What impacts lack of sex drive in women and how can we address it?
• What causes urinary incontinence in women, and how can we prevent and treat it?
• What kinds of specialists can best diagnose and treat pelvic floor disorders?
• What causes vaginal atrophy and how can we treat it?
