Many conditions affect ovulatory function—this medical knowledge has been known for a very long time. However, not all treatments of irregular ovulatory function actually restore the health of the woman. In other words, not all medications or services allow for natural health, the promotion of fertility, and conception.
OCPs (Oral Contraceptive Pills) are Not the Answer
Often the answer for irregular or painful periods is to simply suppress the cycle by using oral contraceptive pills and other products. Unfortunately, this does nothing to help us understand or treat the real, underlying problem. And it does not restore hormonal balance and promote health for the woman.
One example might be useful. For a woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome. The key to success is often treating the underlying insulin resistance. Treating insulin resistance is also important for treating other female ovarian and menstrual problems.
Treating the Underlying Problem, not just Symptom Management
If you are looking for help regarding menstrual problems, irregular cycles, other health questions, or looking to conceive, Sacred Heart Mercy Health Care Clinic has practitioners specifically trained in the area of women’s health through Fertility Education and Medical Management (FEMM) and Creighton and NaPro technology. Our goal is to promote better care for women through restoration of the ovulatory cycle and achieving hormone balance. This leads to healthier women, healthier pregnancies and babies, and healthier families.
