How it Works

Answer Some Questions: Patients start by providing detailed information about their symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. This initial assessment helps identify potential reproductive health issues.
Connect with a Clinician: The patient consults with an OB/GYN specialist who performs a thorough evaluation. This may include physical examinations, pelvic exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and other diagnostic tests as needed.
Get a Treatment Plan and Medication: Based on the diagnosis, the OB/GYN develops a personalized treatment plan. This could involve medications to manage symptoms, surgical procedures, or lifestyle and dietary recommendations to address specific conditions.
Follow Up for 14 Days: Continuous follow-ups are essential to monitor the patient’s progress and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment plan. Regular appointments help track progress, adjust treatments as needed, and manage any complications.
