Gynecology Supplements for support

Introduction: Why Women’s Health Needs an Integrative Approach

Women’s health can be complicated, with numerous hormonal and reproductive challenges affecting daily life. At Patients Medical in New York City, we provide an integrative approach that goes beyond managing symptoms. Our focus is on supporting gynecological health naturally and holistically. We identify the root causes of your concerns and offer customized supplements and treatments that can enhance your overall well-being.

What Is Gynecological Health?

Gynecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Women experience various gynecological issues throughout their lives, from hormonal imbalances to chronic conditions that can affect reproductive health and quality of life.

Some common conditions include:

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder causing irregular periods and cysts in ovaries.
  • Endometriosis: A painful condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
  • Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus.
  • Menstrual Irregularities: Imbalances in menstrual cycle length, frequency, or flow.
  • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Menopause Symptoms

Common Symptoms of Gynecological Issues

The following symptoms often indicate an underlying gynecological issue:

Root Causes: Why Do Women Experience Gynecological Issues?

Gynecological issues can arise from a variety of factors. In functional medicine, we focus on identifying the root causes, which may include:

  • Hormonal imbalances: Issues with estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, or cortisol can lead to symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, and menopause-related symptoms.
  • Chronic stress: Prolonged stress raises cortisol levels, which can interfere with hormone production and menstrual cycles.
  • Dietary factors: Poor nutrition or nutrient deficiencies (such as low iron, vitamin D, or magnesium) can impact reproductive health and contribute to conditions like PCOS or fibroids.
  • Toxin overload: Exposure to environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors (found in plastics, chemicals, and pesticides) can affect hormonal balance and fertility.
  • Leaky gut or digestive issues: Gut health can influence hormone regulation and systemic inflammation, impacting gynecological health.
  • Genetics: Family history plays a role in conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids.

By focusing on these root causes, we help you achieve long-term relief and restore balance to your reproductive system.

Diagnostic Testing We Use

At Patients Medical, we utilize advanced testing to identify the underlying causes of your gynecological concerns:

  • Hormonal Panels: To measure levels of estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones.
  • Ultrasound Imaging: To detect fibroids, cysts, or endometrial issues.
  • Gut Health Panels: To evaluate leaky gut and systemic inflammation.
  • Genetic Testing: To identify predispositions for conditions like PCOS.
  • Inflammatory Markers: To assess the level of inflammation affecting your health.

Integrative Treatments for Presyncope

Nutritional Therapy

  • Anti-inflammatory diets that reduce symptoms of PMS, endometriosis, and fibroids.
  • Nutrient-dense meal planning focusing on the health of your reproductive system.
  • Elimination diets to detect food sensitivities that could trigger inflammation or hormonal imbalance.

Herbal & Nutraceutical Support

  • Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry): Supports hormonal balance and menstrual regularity.
  • Maca Root: Known for boosting energy levels and balancing hormones.
  • DIM (Diindolylmethane): Helps with estrogen metabolism, especially in conditions like fibroids.

Magnesium: Essential for reducing cramps and supporting overall hormonal function.

IV Vitamin Therapy

We offer customized IV infusions with essential nutrients like magnesium, vitamin C, and B vitamins, which help to support overall female reproductive health and hormone balance.

Acupuncture & Stress Reduction

Our integrative approach includes acupuncture to reduce pain and regulate menstrual cycles. We also recommend meditation and adaptogenic herbs to balance stress and hormones.

Real Case Study: Emma's Path to Hormonal Balance

Emma, a 38-year-old woman, came to us complaining of severe PMS symptoms, irregular periods, and weight gain. She had tried various medications but found no relief. Through testing, we discovered hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and inflammation.

We customized a 3-month treatment plan for Emma that included:

  • Herbal supplements for hormonal balance.
  • Anti-inflammatory meal plans.
  • Acupuncture to reduce menstrual pain.
  • Stress reduction protocols using adaptogenic herbs.

After three months, Emma’s PMS symptoms were significantly reduced, her period became regular, and she experienced weight loss with improved energy levels.
