Women Talking™ Wednesday Dr Ardelle Piper

Women Talking™ Wednesday, with Dr. Ardelle Piper, MD (OB/GYN)

Join us for Women Talking Wednesday, a virtual event featuring a women’s health physician and clinical expert as our invited speaker. These events empower our members to participate in meaningful discussion led by a clinician, and get answers to their questions about their hormonal health experiences.

Dr. Piper will discuss the current clinical practice for assessing and diagnosing endometriosis, which affects 1 in 10 women ranging from adolescent age to the perimenopause stage during the midlife years. Endometriosis can take several years to obtain a clear diagnosis, and Dr. Piper will share information on evidence-based medical treatments prescribed by gynecologists to better manage this chronic, life-disrupting hormonal condition.
