Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of integrative approaches in managing gynecological conditions?

Speak with your provider for personalized guidance and strategies. Generally, chronic stress can disrupt menstrual cycles, worsen conditions like PCOS, and affect reproductive health. Managing stress through mindfulness practices, physical activity, and professional counseling can be beneficial.
What are some lesser-known symptoms of hormonal imbalances, and how can they be identified?
