Women's Health

Moth­er­hood comes with a lot of joy, but it can also bring unique chal­lenges and strug­gles. As moms, it’s nat­ur­al to pri­or­i­tize the needs of our chil­dren, and it’s equal­ly impor­tant to take care of our­selves. Accord­ing to Post­par­tum Sup­port Inter­na­tion­al, one out of five women are affect­ed by mater­nal men­tal health dis­or­ders includ­ing post­par­tum depres­sion, anx­i­ety, OCD, bipo­lar, PTSD, and psychosis.

Kris’s jour­ney through breast can­cer began with a con­cern­ing dis­cov­ery while on vaca­tion, lead­ing to a diag­no­sis that would chal­lenge her phys­i­cal­ly and emo­tion­al­ly. Sup­port­ed by her fam­i­ly and the com­pas­sion­ate team at Quin­cy Med­ical Group, Kris under­went chemother­a­py, a dou­ble mas­tec­to­my, and recon­struc­tion. Her sto­ry is one of resilience, grat­i­tude, and heal­ing, as she now hears the words ​“can­cer-free” and feels like her­self again. 

When you think of breast­feed­ing sup­port, speech ther­a­py might not imme­di­ate­ly come to mind. How­ev­er, speech-lan­guage pathol­o­gists (SLPs) play a cru­cial role in address­ing swal­low­ing and feed­ing con­cerns that your infant may experience.

Breast­feed­ing can be a reward­ing but chal­leng­ing expe­ri­ence for many new moms. At Quin­cy Med­ical Group, our lac­ta­tion spe­cial­ists are here to help guide and sup­port you.

A care nav­i­ga­tor is by your side. We’re here to lis­ten, under­stand, and sup­port you through your can­cer journey.

Women are unique, and so are their health needs. If you have delayed your care, it’s impor­tant to sched­ule your rou­tine screen­ings to iden­ti­fy health prob­lems that could be screened for, iden­ti­fied, and treat­ed earlier.
