Meet Dr. TrapagaOverview
Women’s Health therapeutics span reproductive, hormonal, and metabolic issues across all life stages. Treatments include contraceptives, fertility agents, hormone-replacement therapy (HRT), and medications for menstrual or menopausal symptoms.
Uses
Common drug categories:- Oral contraceptives and progestin-only pills.
- Clomiphene and letrozole for infertility.
- HRT for post-menopausal estrogen deficiency.
- Antifungal and antibiotic therapies for gynecologic infections.
Mechanism / Approach
These drugs modulate estrogen, progesterone, or gonadotropin activity to regulate the menstrual cycle, ovulation, or hormonal balance.Safety & Patient Considerations
HRT and hormonal contraceptives increase clot risk in smokers or older women. Regular screening (Pap tests, mammograms) remains vital. Non-hormonal options should be discussed when contraindications exist.FAQ
Do birth-control pills cause infertility?
No; fertility returns after discontinuation.
: Is HRT safe long-term?
Individualized use is safe under monitoring; risks rise with prolonged therapy.
Can herbal products replace hormones?
Evidence is limited; consult a professional before substitution.
