Ask a GYN Trailer and Introduction

Ask a GYN - With Steven A. Rabin, MD, FACOG

Have you ever left the doctor's office more confused than when you walked in? Have you wanted to ASK A GYN a few more questions.. on your own schedule, unhurried and with a rewind button!

Hello, I'm Dr. Steven Rabin.

I'm a board certified ob gyn practicing gynecology-only.

And I've been in practice for over 27 years.

And one of the things my patients say the most is that I've explained things to them in such a way that nobody's ever explained it to them before.

In this podcast, I'm going to give you uncommonly clear explanations to some of the most common gynecology problems women face today. Like menopause, dryness, fibroids, heavy and painful periods, polyps, birth control choices and problems with birth control, infections, discharge, sexual issues, increased pain, decreased libido, we'll talk about hormones, we'll talk about new treatments, old treatments, and even some alternative treatments.

Having been in practice for 27 years, I've conducted nearly 90,000 patient visits. And at every one of those visits, I've been practicing my skills of explaining complex topics in a very understandable way. I think this is so important that that's why I'm making this podcast. I'm also hoping to direct some of my patients to a certain episode after a visit. So they can re listen to some of those mini lectures that I give every day, every month, every year, you're going to be able to send in your questions. And I'm going to spend some time with you as we review the basics, and then take it to the next level. Ask A GYN.

I can't tell you how often patients come to see me and tell me that for the first time ever, they've gotten explanations for something that they've been dealing with for years and years explanations that they finally understand, and so that they can take action and start to actually understand their condition their options, and be able to explain it to their partner, their friends, their family, because being in the dark is really uncomfortable, and making decisions based on a poor understanding of your condition. Well, that's just not any way to become a partner in the decision making process with your physician.
Now, this is for educational purposes only. I'm not intending to diagnose your problems or give you any specific advice. That should be something that you do with your doctor. I'm hoping that these episodes will be a spark something to help you ask some better questions and to understand the conversation starters. In these podcasts we'll go through one topic start to finish, we'll talk about the symptoms. We'll talk about how we test how we diagnose and then to talk about the different treatment options that are out there that you might need to consider.
