Let’s Talk About Painful Periods - A Conversation with Dr. Jessica Ritch

As a pediatric endocrinologist, I get a lot of questions about painful periods from my patients. So for this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jessica Ritch, a minimally invasive gynecologist, to talk about this topic and answer some of the more common questions that I get.

We debunk some of the myths surrounding period pain, talk about what women should and shouldn't expect, and offer some options and advice when it comes to treating the pain. Period pain should never stop someone from being able to live a normal life, and I hope that what we talk about in this episode can help to provide some clarity and ideas to those who are experiencing this.

Dr. Ritch is one of only a few gynecologists in South Florida who have completed fellowship training in minimally invasive gynecology and she works to help treat patients and get them back to their lives faster through robotic surgery, advanced laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and vaginal procedures, as well as, non-surgical treatment options. She specializes in the management of benign gynecologic conditions such as fibroids, polyps, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, pelvic pain, ovarian masses, and cervical dysplasia.
