DIAGNOSED WITH THE CANCER CAUSING VIRUS. THE UNEXPECTED >>LAUREN VERNO: SO DOCTORS ARE
SEEING MORE PATIENTS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING WITH THE PHYSICAL
EFFECTS OF STRESS.
A LOCAL GYNECOLOGIST AND
OBSTETRICIAN SAYS SHE’S EVEN
SEEING MORE WOMEN WITH HUMAN
PAPILLOMA VIRUS OR HPV BECAUSE
THE STRESS IS AFFECTING THEIR
IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND THEIR
ABILITY TO SUPPRESS IT.
SO DOCTOR ADAMS WITH FULL
CIRCLE, WOMEN’S CARE JOINS US
NOW THIS MORNING AND DOCTOR
ADAMS I HATE THE FOLKS WHO
MISSED ARE COVID SPECIAL OUR
TOWN HALL YESTERDAY ON NEWS 4
JAX BECAUSE WE UNEARTH A LOT OF
REALLY GOOD INFORMATION.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
YOU POINTED OUT,
YOU’RE SEEING PATIENTS WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING ALL KINDS OF
ISSUES THAT THEIR BODIES MIGHT
HAVE ONCE BEEN ABLE TO FIGHT
OFF.
>> YES GOOD MORNING.
MELANIE, YES. WE HAVE LONG
KNOWN THAT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM IS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO PERIODS
OF STRESS THAT THERE WAS
ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD STUDY A
COUPLE OF YEARS BACK THAT
RESULT CAME OUT WITH A FOLLOWED
WOMEN FOR 20 YEARS
RESPECTIVELY AS THEY WERE KNOWN
TO HAVE HPV WHICH WE KNOW,
THANKS AND 80 TO 90% OF WOMEN
WHO ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE.
AND JUST SEE WHEN IT
WAS DETECTABLE USUALLY YOUR
BODY’S IMMUNE SYSTEM IS STRONG
ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SUPPRESS
THE VIRUS TO THE POINT THAT
IT’S UNDETECTABLE AND NOT ABLE
TO CAUSE
CELLULAR CHANGES. BUT IN
PERIODS OF STRESS. THE VIRUS IS
ABLE TO EXPRESS AND REPLICATE
TO A POINT THAT IT IS
DETECTABLE
AN ACTIVIST.
>>LAUREN VERNO: AND IT’S NOT
JUST HPV YOU’RE SEEING OTHER
THINGS THAT THAT’S HAPPENING IN
THE BODY.
>> WELL WE ARE
SEEING THAT HPV ITSELF DOES
COST SOME OF THAT THE CELLULAR
CHANGES WE KNOW CAN HAPPEN WHEN
IT EXPRESSES IF YOU’RE IN PEOPLE WHO HAVE OTHER COEXISTING ISSUES THEY GET
THEIR SMOKERS WHERE THEY HAVE
OTHER CONCERNS THAT TO SUPPRESS
THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM MAKING ON
CHRONIC STEROID SURE AS THE
PATIENTS FOR TRANSPLANT
PATIENTS. I RECHECKED THE COST
OF POPULATION. >>LAUREN VERNO: HE SAID YOU KNOW YESTERDAY WAS HAPPENING AS
OUR BODIES OF THIS CONSTANT
STATE OF FIGHT OR FLIGHT AND
OUR BODY JUST AS THAT REALLY
MEANT TO FUNCTION THAT WAY.
>> EXACTLY I MEAN DURING THESE
TIMES OF
EXTREME STRESS. THERE ARE THERE
ARE CHANGES THAT YOUR BODY GOES
THROUGH IN ORDER TO ADAPT TO
BEING IN A STATE
OF EMERGENCY AND THOSE ARE ONLY
MEANT TO BE SUSTAINED FOR A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, YOU KNOW
YOUR HEART RACES FASTER YOUR
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MICHAEL UP
IN ORDER TO PROFUSE ALL OF
YOUR ORGANS. BUT WE’RE NOT
MEANT TO STAY IN THAT CONDITION
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS OR SEVERAL
MONTHS EVEN AT A TIME AND
PEOPLE BEGIN TO
FEEL PSYCHOSOMATIC IF ACCIDENT
LIKE HOW IT PAIN OR ABDOMINAL
PAIN AND WE START TO GET SOME
PAIN SOME PLACES AND NOT REALLY
BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY
AND IT’S JUST THE EFFECT OF
LONG-TERM STRESS.
>>MELANIE LAWSON: SO WHAT ARE
THESE HOW LONG DO THESE
PROBLEMS LAST OR DO THEY
TYPICALLY RESOLVE THEMSELVES
WHEN PATIENTS SETTLE DOWN.
>> SO IF YOUR BODY IF AND
COMPENSATING SAY FOR CERTAIN
PAIN THAT YOU’VE BEEN HAVING
FOR
A WHILE A LATE NIGHT, LET’S SAY
FOR EXAMPLE YOU HEADING BACK
THE YOU INSTINCTIVELY SO
CONSCIOUSLY TRIED TO ALTER HOW
YOU STAND OR HOW YOU WANT TO
AVOID
THAT PAGE AND AFTER THE STRESS
OR IS OVER YOU MAY HAVE SOME
RESULT IN PAIN AFTER YOU KNOW
AFTER BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN
POSTURING FOR A WHILE TRYING TO
AVOID FEELING WHATEVER IT WAS
YOUR BODY WAS DOING IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YES, SO ANY
CHANGES YOU MAKE TO COMPENSATE
COULD THEN HAVE
LONGER AFFECTS YOU ALSO SAID
THAT THE NEW RECOMMENDATION FOR
PREGNANT WOMEN DURING THEIR
LAST TRIMESTER.
>> YES, THE SOCIETY OF MATERNAL
FETAL MEDICINE HAS COME UP WITH
A RECOMMENDATION THAT WOMEN
SHOULD QUARANTINE AFTER 37
WEEKS AND THE IDEA IS THAT THEY
WILL NOT CONTRACT
COVID-19 DISEASE. AT THE TIME
OF LABOR BECAUSE THAT OBVIOUSLY
THEN THERE’S AN INCREASED RISK
OF TRANSMISSION TO THE BABY
FORTUNATELY WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANY
INCIDENTS OF VERTICAL
TRANSMISSION
IN UTERO BUT ONCE THE BABY’S
BORN ARE STILL ENCOURAGING
BREASTFEEDING INCREASES IN
CLOSER CONTACT AND HOLDING YOUR
BABY RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR FACE.
WHAT ARE YOU
A NUMBER.
>>LAUREN VERNO: ALL RIGHT AND
JUST I ONLY HAVE LIKE 10
SECONDS I KNOW YOU ARE ADDING
ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO ADDRESS
THE NEED THAT HAS BECOME MORE
APPARENT DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
>> IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING MOST AT SHE’S HOSPITAL BIRTH IN FOR THAT REASON MICE. MY PRACTICE
IS BEGINNING TO OFFER BIRTH
CENTER SERVICES TO DELIVER
WOMEN OUTSIDE OF
THE HOSPITAL.
>>LAUREN VERNO: ALL RIGHT SO
WATCH FOR THAT YOU’RE EXPECTED
OPEN THAT IN THE NEXT COUPLE
WEEKS WHAT’S THE
PLAN THERE. HOPEFULLY THE NEXT
30 DAYS OR KEEP YOU POSTED
WE’LL FOLLOW UPS, I KNOW A LOT
