SPECIAL EPISODE!!
No practice bulletin or committee opinion this time. Instead, I interviewed Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, the author of "The Fifth Vital Sign" about fertility awareness methods. This is an important part of women's health practice that you probably didn't learn in residency, yet I see it as a critical part of OB/GYN practice.
We'll cover:
- cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and cervical position fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle
- educating women on becoming aware of these things
- utilizing fertility awareness for contraception and fertility
