  • Breakthrough bleeding

    Yes, the antibiotics can affect the metabolization of the pill and use a backup method while on antibiotics. This should resolve, but the pill may not be as effective while on birth control. READ MORE

  • What is wrong?

    This could be a vaginal infection of overgrowth of bacteria or something similar - you need it evaluated at a medical clinic. READ MORE

  • Late Menstrual cycle

    Any travel, stress, or change in diet can do this. Still take a pregnancy test to be sure. Likely this will regulate if there is a negative pregnancy. READ MORE

  • Vaginal Spotting

    Any number of things can cause this when on birth control pills, like if you skipped a pill, changed diet, exercise, if you travelled across time zones, and sometimes this does happen and the pill needs to be changed to a different brand. Give it a couple more weeks then consult with the prescriber. READ MORE

  • Clitoris turning white/gray

    This can be a condition of the clitoris and vulva that may require a steroid cream to help if itchy and if not, it can be helped with other topical creams as well. You need to insist to see a medical doctor, not a nurse, for expertise and possibly a biopsy of the area, although hard to know by your description. It is not an STD but could be a skin condition. READ MORE

  • I have regular period but have pcos. How can I get pregnant?

    This can happen for many reasons, including travel, stress, failure in any contraception, or other sickness. Typically, it's not concerning unless it becomes a recurring problem, so if after two more cycles this occurs again, you should seek medical attention. READ MORE

  • Pregnancy scare

    Possible but unlikely - you should wait for the next period and if it's late by even a day, take a pregnancy test every other day for the next week. READ MORE

  • Bleeding

    I would suggest you give it time with three cycles (pill packs) and see if it regulates itself. If not, you should talk to your prescriber - if it is a change from gluten-free, it should regulate. And that takes time. READ MORE

  • Sweating?

    If you can consider seeking out an integrative, functional medicine provider, there is more to do for PCOS, anxiety, and hormone imbalance than traditional, conventional medicine. It starts with a whole foods diet, lower carb to reset the insulin/PCOS connection as well as stress-reducing techniques. It's very possible the regular labs haven't been shedding light on the root of hormone instability - blood work is weak for that but a more holistic, integrative, functional provider can do better testing and provide more answers for you and sometimes, restoring some natural hormone balance can help everything from mood to anxiety and more https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner If that is out of your budget since most don't take insurance then consider learning more at https://avivaromm.com/pcos-natural-prescription/ Dr. Karen Kaufman, MD Kaufman Health and Hormone Center 720.639.2736 READ MORE

  • What are the challenges faced by premature babies?

    Multiple issues from vision, hearing, allergies, learning issues and many do perfectly fine. You should talk to the doctors who are caring for the infant. READ MORE

  • Should I take another test?

    Yes take one more pregnancy test and if negative, that's reassuring. READ MORE

  • Pregnancy scare

    If you are late for Depo then it's possible for pregnancy. Take consecutive pregnancy tests every few days for a few weeks and while it's unlikely, it's possible. READ MORE

  • Need Information !!!!!

    Take a home pregnancy test - highly unlikely to be pregnant -but take a pregnancy test today and in three more days if the period doesn't come and then in another three days again if no period. READ MORE

  • Conception scares

    Highly unlikely but POSSIBLE so if she is late for her period, she needs to take a pregnancy test. READ MORE

  • period

    The first thing you need to do is take a pregnancy test and repeat it a few days later to confirm. If negative, you should see your provider for why you aren't getting your period READ MORE

  • herbal tea

    The licorice there isn't approved for pregnancy - still with chamomile, spearmint, ginger, and honey. READ MORE

  • Sex related

    If she was a virgin, she probably had little blood even though brown, and now its resolved. White discharge can be from also any lubrication, condom, or ejaculation if you did that. If it persists and has an odor or itching, she should be seen by the doctor but otherwise, this can be normal. READ MORE

  • Bump in pubic area

    That could be any number of things and you need to have it evaluated - you have to rule out an STD but it could also just be a skin tag that is benign and of no consequence. But a professional needs to evaluate it- the picture isn't enough. READ MORE

  • Discharge on the pill for 10-15days

    Discharge isn't always a problem - but it probably should be evaluated by the prescriber. You can start your pill back a day earlier, not a day later. Sometimes discharge is clear or whitish, can be normal - other times associated with an imbalance of bacteria, PH and so should be tested at a medical office. READ MORE

Offering Holistic and Integrative Healthcare Solutions

A board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Kaufman is the Founder of the Kaufman Health and Hormone Center in Louisville, Colorado. With a focus on functional and integrative medicine, she aims to provide personalized healthcare solutions that address the root causes of patients' health issues, moving beyond traditional medical practices.

At Kaufman Health and Hormone Center, she emphasizes a collaborative approach to healthcare. "Each patient is unique, with different backgrounds, stressors, and medical histories. My goal is to take the time to understand these factors and partner with my patients to develop comprehensive care plans tailored to their specific needs," she states.

Graduating with her MD from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and completing her residency at Northwestern University, Dr. Kaufman has been dedicated to women’s health since 2003. Serving on the Advisory Board of her alma mater, she has remained committed to advancing medical education and practice. 

In her years of practice, she observed that many patients sought more than what conventional treatments could offer. While some patients found relief through medications like bioidentical hormones, many others continued to struggle with unresolved symptoms. This realization sparked a passion for functional, integrative medical care, leading her to pursue a fellowship in Functional Medicine. 

Dr. Kaufman’s mission is clear: to combine her extensive knowledge of conventional medicine with her training in functional medicine to offer holistic care. Her practice specializes in adolescent gynecology, perimenopause, menopause, and hormone changes throughout a woman’s life, ensuring that every patient receives the individualized attention they deserve.

The Kaufman Health and Hormone Center is committed to empowering patients by educating them about their health and providing the resources they need to achieve optimal wellness. By integrating conventional methods with holistic approaches, Dr. Kaufman is redefining what it means to care for women's health in Boulder.
