Livestrong and VCRM

In an effort to help women recently diagnosed with cancer, we have joined forces with LIVESTRONG to raise awarness and to help these women explore fertility options such as egg freezing or embryo freezing. More information can be found at www.livestrong.org

PCFs and Early menopause

A new study points to a correlation between levels of Perfluorocarbons (PCF) and early menopause. PCFs are endocrine-disruptors (chemicals that mimic the effects of certain hormones) and are found in products such as toys, clothing, furniture, carpets, paints and plastic food containers.

Off to Lebanon

I am off to Beirut, Lebanon to visit family and friends and give a talk on Infertility at my alma mater, the American University of Beirut (AUB). I hope to get some time to visit few places and sample great food at some new restaurants.

HPV and men

‎50% of men are infected with HPV, and are therefore the major "spreaders" of HPV infection in women and resulting in cervical and other cancers. Infected men are also at higher risk of developing anal, penile, and heck and neck cancers. This raises the need to start vaccinating adolescent boys, in addition to girls, with the HPV vaccine. Unfortunately, the US government and insurance companies still do not see the need to vaccinate boys (but would rather pay the costs of cancer care!)
