Treating “Religious Infertility”
Lawrence Grunfeld, MD , January 27, 2012

Orthodox Jewish women may follow an ancient tradition that requires sexual abstention during her menses and for the seven days that follow.

Orit Avni-Barron, MD. , October 25, 2011

She just paged you again. It is “urgent”, just like the last 5 times. You sigh deeply: no matter how many times you tell her that her labs are normal, explain that some shortness of breath is expected in the last trimester, or reassure her that her heartburn is not a first sign of a heart attack (yes, you checked) – it simply won’t stick.
