What can you do to have a better experience when seeking care? See our tips below!
-
Track your cycle so that the time you do have is worth while for everyone. You can give your doctor your history and symptoms to help see patterns and get to diagnosis if needed.
-
Find a great clinic that is holistic. A practitioner who incorporates health and wellness as well as conventional options is the best so that you have more choice when it comes to treatments. We suggest Tia health clinics!
-
Know thyself. This doesn’t mean getting a WebMD PHD. Knowing yourself means listening to your body and respecting it. Has your flow changed? Are you getting headaches throughout the month? PMS getting worse? Listening to your body (and noting its cycles and changes) is the best form of self care!
