Topics
Fee Spear: 本期节目讨论了女性生殖健康,特别是知情同意、社交媒体在医疗保健中的作用以及新法律对医疗行业的影响。节目嘉宾Karen Tang医生分享了她作为妇科医生的经验,以及她如何利用社交媒体平台进行健康教育。她还谈到了她新书《这不是歇斯底里》的内容,旨在纠正女性生殖健康方面的常见误区。 Fee Spear 还谈到了她个人在妇科检查中获得知情同意的经历,以及社交媒体如何帮助女性克服羞耻感,公开讨论生殖健康问题。她还讨论了远程医疗的普及以及社交媒体在性别肯定护理方面的作用。 Dr. Karen Tang: 我是一名执业妇科医生,也是一名微创妇科手术专家。微创手术可以帮助女性更快恢复健康。此外,我还关注慢性疼痛管理,例如子宫内膜异位症引起的疼痛。 在知情同意方面,虽然理论上医生应该在进行任何检查或治疗前告知患者,但在实践中,这种情况并不总是发生。社交媒体有助于提高人们对妇科检查疼痛的认识,并鼓励女性更多地参与自己的医疗保健。 我利用社交媒体平台进行健康教育,纠正错误信息,并与患者互动。疫情期间,社交媒体成为医生与患者沟通的重要渠道。 我的新书《这不是歇斯底里》旨在揭穿女性生殖健康的常见误区,例如将疼痛等问题简单地归结为“正常现象”。书中还讨论了经前期焦虑症(PMDD)的治疗方法,以及避孕药中安慰剂的作用。 在性别肯定护理方面,我反对将性别肯定护理手术描述为“伤害儿童”的煽动性说法。大多数情况下,对未成年人的性别肯定护理包括支持性护理和青春期阻滞剂的使用,这些都是可逆的。 关于新法律,我担心这些法律会对女性的健康和医疗保健造成负面影响。许多法律是由缺乏医学背景的政治家制定的,这可能会导致医疗决策的错误。

  • Minimally invasive gynecology specializes in conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian cysts using small incisions.
  • Informed consent, while taught in medical training, wasn't consistently practiced until recently.
  • Social media platforms like TikTok have played a role in raising awareness about informed consent and pain management in gynecological exams.
