We are aging with more health and vitality than ever before!  The reality is that we will also have chronic conditions that need to be addressed in our health care plan.

This week we are discussing survivorship medicine and complex gynecology with Dr. Michael Krychman.   Dr. Krychman is Executive Director of the Southern California Center for Sexual Health and Survivorship Medicine and an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California Irvine, Division of Gynecological Oncology and the Medical Director of Ann’s Clinic, a high-risk program for Breast and Ovarian Cancer Survivors.

Dr. Krychman explains that we need to modify medical care in the face of chronic conditions including cancer and hypertension.  Doctors need to work as a team when dispensing information as well as medication to patients.  Living longer means seeing a bigger picture for your health (lifestyle, diet and stress) and your clinical team needs to be cognizant of this and modify accordingly. 

We also address complex gynecology which covers an array of conditions including gynecological cancers, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and pelvic pain.
