Episode 215: Fibroids

Episode 215 of my Curate Your Health Podcast is out! Link below.

Dr. Cheruba Prabakar is here today to discuss fibroids. Fibroids are common and can affect 80% of women by the age of 50. Most women do not know they have fibroids. Symptoms include heavy bleeding, spotting throughout the month, miscarriages, pain, pressure, frequent urination or constipation. A pelvic ultrasound will help to diagnose. There are many hormonal medications that can help with bleeding, and many treatment and surgical options. There is a genetic component with fibroids, and she recommends that women should see their doctor yearly. She offers fibroid coaching to discuss options, educate and give women the opportunity to discuss various procedures.

Dr. Cheruba Prabakar is a board certified OBGYN and minimally invasive trained surgeon. She specializes in treating women with fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and pelvic pain, as well as menopause symptoms. She just opened up her own practice in order to prove highly personalized, accessible, and unhurried care. She is also a speaker on women's health issues. She is thrilled to embrace physician entrepreneurship! She lives in Oakland with her family.
