Question 1

is there such a thing as pms specialist, not gyn they dont understand.  i am post menapause also?

Accepted Answer

Not PMS: The same symptoms can occur after menopause but they aren't caused by PMS. By definition, PMS occurs before a menstrual period. What specialist you need to see is dependent on which symptoms you are having as the causes are different after menopause.

Question 2

what would be t he best specialist to.go to for pcos a gyn  endo or re ? 17 yrs old htn pcos provera (medroxyprogesterone) as treatment

Accepted Answer

in your case: An endocrinologist  when u want pregnancy then u will need to see the reproductive endocrinologist.

Question 3

gyn did ana testing (routine visit) that came back with the pattern "cytoplasmic fluorescence". she referred me to a specialist - why? i'm worried!

Accepted Answer

Not significant: That pattern has no clinical significance. Why was an ANA ordered in the first place?

Question 4

i have a 20cm cyst on my left ovary. i've been to my ob/gyn who is working on a surgery plan but should i see a specialist too?

Accepted Answer

OB/GYN specialty: Cyst in the ovaries is part of the specialty of OB/GYN, so I would say that you should be in good hands. You could ask your physician how many of these surgeries he has done in the past if that makes you feel better. Hope this helps.

Question 5

ive had vaginal abscess for more than 20 yrs now - several larger than a golfball. ive changed feminine products, body wash, wear cotton only don't shave that area and still get them in the same spots. is there a specialist in gynecology i can see?

Accepted Answer

Gyn/ID specialist: Some gynecologists sub-specialize in infectious diseases. See if you can find one not too far away. Your regular gyn may be able to refer you; or investigate medical schools or large medical centers in your area. Or the Infectious Diseases Soci ety for Obstrics and Gynecology may be able to help find a nearby expert (www.idsog.org). Good luck.

Question 6

who are the specialist doctors under the obstetrics and gynecology department?

Accepted Answer

Several: In addition to obstetrics and gynecology specialists, there may be subspecialists in maternal-fetal medicine (perinatologists), urogynecologists, gynecologic oncologists, reproductive endocrinologists/fertility subspecialists.

Question 7

what can i take or use for folliculitis over the counter? dont have insurance and can't afford to see a specialist.

Accepted Answer

Depends: It really depends on the cause of the folliculitis as there are many causes, both infectious and non-infectious (ie irritation from friction, shaving, etc).  Or it may not be folliculitis which is why you may need to see a derm.  But, it might be worth a try to get some otc benzoyl peroxide wash, which you can find in the acne section and try to wash the areas x 2-3 min daily.  May dry out skin.

Question 8

why i don't look my age i have very small mustache and less beard wich specialist i need to contact. i am 26 but look like 16?

Accepted Answer

Endocrinologist: Since it is concerning to you, should see an endocrinologist, who can do exam and blood testing to see if problem or if just the way you are.

Question 9

my dr did a dre & said i had an internal hemorrhoid. referred me to specialist for removal bcuz it wont go away. would she know by a dre? im worried

Accepted Answer

DRE diagnosis: What are you worried about?  Consult the specialist as directed by your doctor.

Find out the diagnosis first &amp; get the options of treatment. You can refuse surgery.

Question 10

i would like to know about my toddler son, which specialist should i take him to.  he seems to be very traumatized , i don't know if it is trauma or maybe suffers from a condition. he screams all the time, he wakes up during the night then screams.

Accepted Answer

Confusing post: Is the issue continuous or are you asking about the night waking? There is a sleep disorder called night terrors which emerge in the first hours of sleep. They scream &amp; struggle but do not wake easily when touched. The event ends after a few minutes. If you wake them during the event they don't know why you are there. It is not a nightmare but like sleep walking. Start with his doc.
