PERMANENT BIRTH CONTROL What is Permanent Birth Control, or Sterilization? Just wanted to make a quick post on this since it is the only birth control so far that is available for BOTH women and men. (There are so many options available for women, but we are still working on […]
This is a very vulnerable topic for me, one that I’ve been putting off writing for a while. I’ve struggled with my weight and body image ever since I can remember. I was born an average weight, but was always overweight from then on. I think people fall into only […]
Another piece of the “Dr. Tooni” women’s health project: some different kinds of FOBs – the term used for “Father of the Baby” for a pregnant patient, since you can’t assume their relationship.

WHAT’S THAT VAGINAL DISCHARGE? What is Vaginal Discharge? What’s normal and what’s not?? Vaginal discharge is fluid that comes out from the vagina. It’s very normal to have discharge — some women have more than others, and the color, amount, and type varies depending on where you are in your […]
These are truly crazy times we’re living in now. It felt necessary to dedicate an entire post to the COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) pandemic. Some say this is World War III, with an invisible enemy. I couldn’t agree more. From what we’ve seen so far, it seems to have a 13% […]
