OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 The RSV vaccine during pregnancy is recommended between 32 and 36 weeks. It helps protect your newborn in those first vulnerable months before they can get their own vaccine.

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Flu shots are safe at any point in pregnancy. They protect you and pass antibodies to your baby too. Getting sick with the flu while pregnant carries more risk than the shot ever will.

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Gestational diabetes doesn't mean you did something wrong in pregnancy. It's about hormones changing how your body handles sugar. It is manageable with the right care.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Asking your provider "why" is not being difficult. It's your right. A good doctor will always explain the reasoning behind a recommendation, not just hand one down.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Pelvic floor therapy isn't just for after childbirth. Bladder leaks, pelvic pain, and pain during s3x can all be helped by it, at any life stage.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 An IUD insertion can hurt, and it's okay to ask for pain management beforehand. You do not have to grit your teeth through it in silence.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Vaginal dryness isn't just a menopause thing. Stress, certain medications, and hormonal birth control can all cause it too. There are treatments at every age.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Your first pelvic exam doesn't have to happen at a scary age. Most people don't need one until 25, unless you have symptoms that need checking sooner.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Infertility affects about 1 in 8 couples. It is not always the woman's issue. About a third of the time, it involves the male partner too.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Fibroids are not always something you need surgery for. Depending on size and symptoms, there are medication and minimally invasive options too. Ask about all of them.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Postpartum depression is not weakness. It affects about 1 in 7 new parents. It is treatable, and asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do.

010

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 The Hyde Amendment has blocked federal funding for ab0rti0n care since 1976. That means Medicaid usually won't cover it. It hits low-income patients hardest, not because they need it less, but because they have fewer options to pay out of pocket.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 M!fepristone has been FDA approved for over 20 years. It's been used safely by millions. It is one of the most studied medications in America, and still one of the most restricted.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 You can be on birth control and still ovulate occasionally. No method is 100% perfect. That's why knowing your body's signs still matters.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 World Contracepti0n Day is September 26. There are more than a dozen birth control options out there. If the one you're on isn't working for you, that doesn't mean birth control failed. It means it's time to try a different one.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection, not an STI. It happens when your natural bacteria gets out of balance. It is common, and it is treatable.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Teens deserve real sex ed, not just abstinence lectures. States with comprehensive sex ed have lower teen pregnancy rates, not higher ones.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 The morning after pill works best the sooner you take it, but it can work up to 5 days after unprotected s3x depending on the type. It is not the same as the ab0rti0n pill.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Consent doesn't end once you're in the exam room. You can say stop at any time during a pelvic exam. Your provider should always listen.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 A pap smear checks for cervical cancer. It does not test for every STI. If you want full STI screening, you have to ask for it by name.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Doulas are linked to shorter labors, fewer interventions, and better outcomes, especially for Black birthing people. Support in the room saves lives.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Breastfeeding is not required to be a good parent. Fed is best. Whatever gets your baby fed and keeps you well is the right choice for your family.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Ovarian cysts are common and usually harmless. Most go away on their own. But sudden, sharp pelvic pain should always get checked right away.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 PMDD is not "just bad PMS." It's a diagnosable condition that can cause severe mood changes before your period. There is treatment for it. You do not have to white-knuckle it every month.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Menopause isn't just hot flashes. Sleep changes, mood shifts, and joint pain are common too. It can start years before your period actually stops.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 A UTI and a yeast infection are not the same thing, and they need different treatments. Guessing which one you have can make it worse. When in doubt, get care from a clinician. .

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 HPV is so common that most sexually active people will get it at some point. Most cases clear on their own. The vaccine lowers your risk of the strains that cause cervical cancer.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Endometriosis takes an average of 7 years to diagnose. If your pain isn't being taken seriously, you are allowed to get a second opinion. And a third.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 PCOS affects about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Irregular periods, acne, and weight changes are common signs. It's manageable, but it needs a real diagnosis, not a guess.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 Condoms are still the only birth control method that also protects against STIs. Pairing them with another method gives you double protection.

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 postpartum bleeding can last up to 6 weeks and that is normal. Bleeding that gets heavier instead of lighter over time is not. Know which pattern you're in.

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 you can ask "is this urgent or can I think about it" before agreeing to a procedure.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 hot flashes can start years before your last period, during a phase called perimenopause. If you are in your 40s and feeling this, it is not too early to ask.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 vaginal odor that is fishy or strong after $egg is often bacterial vaginosis, not poor hygiene. It is one of the most common and most misunderstood infections out there.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 you can ask your provider to explain a diagnosis in plain language before you leave the room. "Can you tell me that without the medical terms?" gets you real understanding, not just a name for something.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 the eugenics movement in the early 1900s directly shaped US sterilization laws, and some of those laws stayed on the books into the 1970s. This history is recent, not ancient.

010

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 breast density affects how well a mammogram can see cancer. Ask if you have dense breast tissue and whether you need additional imaging.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 m!scarr!age happens in about 1 in 4 known pregnancies. It is common. It is not your fault. And you deserve care, not silence, afterward.

010

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 recurrent UTIs are not something you just have to live with. There are preventive options beyond cranberry juice. Ask for a real plan.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 you do not need your partner's permission to get birth control, a Pap smear, or any reproductive care. Your body, your decision, every time.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 low libido is not always psychological. Thyroid problems, medications, and hormone shifts can all play a role. It is worth a workup, not just a shrug.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 you can ask your provider to write down what they just told you. Verbal instructions are easy to forget once you leave the room.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 heavy bleeding that soaks a pad or tampon every hour for two hours in a row is a reason to seek care!

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 ovarian cancer has no reliable early screening test. That is why knowing the symptoms, like bloating that will not go away, matters more than any single test.

010

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 most cervical cancer takes 10 to 20 years to develop from HPV. That is why screening intervals can be spaced out. Slow-moving disease means fewer tests, not more risk.

000

Dr.Jeanius @drjeanlus.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

OBGYN Tip of the Day 💡 you can ask for STI testing without telling your provider why. "I'd like a full panel" is enough.
