Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) Causes And Treatments
By Dr. John F. McNamara Jr.,
MD, Randolph OB/GYN - Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a concern for many women, with multiple causes and treatments. If you are experiencing AUB, please contact us at Randolph OB/GYN for assistance. Hormonal causes are the most common. Typically they are due to not ovulating or not producing enough progesterone hormone after ovulation. Anatomical causes are due to an abnormal mass inside the uterus or impinging upon the lining of the uterus (endometrium). Congenital deformities of the uterus such as septum can also cause AUB.

Sexual Dysfunction - How To Deal With This Very Common Problem
By Dr. Karen Horne,
MD, Randolph OB/GYN - Sexual dysfunction is an extremely common problem that many women deal with, but are too embarrassed or afraid to seek help. Almost 50% of women have sexual concerns, and up to 70% of couples report difficulties with their sex life at some point during the relationship. Problems can stem from lack of desire, trouble becoming aroused and maintaining arousal, inability to achieve orgasm, and pain or discomfort during intercourse. Also, as the female body matures and transitions into menopause, new issues with sex can arise that may seem overwhelming and frustrating. Click

By Dr. Karen J. Horne, MD, Randolph
OB/GYN - As a practicing OB/GYN physician, I receive many
questions everyday regarding Human Papillomavirus (HPV), abnormal
Paps, and Gardasil, the vaccine against HPV. Most patients
are interested in ways to reduce their risk of cervical cancer,
but a basic understanding of the mechanism by which HPV leads
to cancer is the first step to prevention. Also, proactively
receiving Gardasil is crucial in further reducing risk. Click
