Am I interpreting this question correctly: are you a medical student, doctor or other medical professional treating this patient, and asking this question?

I am so sorry, but we are unable to provide medical advice. Our mission is to help women, the patients themselves, find additional resources and information. We are not doctors, and as such, can not offer medical advice. We provide research, information, support and encouragement to women who are living with conditions or have personal health questions.
Do you have peers in your field whom you can contact?
