Your Tiktok profile, @medifemgt2.0has about half a million followers, already daily communicates with them by this way and for their social networks associated with their clinic.
“I like to upload information and content about gynecology and obstetrics to my social networks for my patients. I decided to found medifem so that the people of Guatemala and any country can inform themselves about women’s medicine, “he says on his website, which also keeps a list and record with multiple studies and acknowledgments.
Among these are their title as a doctor in 2013, recognition as One of the best students of the Master in Medical Sciences with a specialty in Gynecology and Obstetrics at Roosevelt Hospitalfrom the University of San Carlos de Guatemala, in 2018, and a course in the 2024 vaccination and new techniques for detecting the human papillomavirus (HPV), the infection that causes more cases of cervix or cervical cancer in Guatemalan women.
Recently, the professional was awarded in the Chapin Awards, in the category of best content of nutrition, health and well -being. To obtain an event, sometimes, patients should wait up to a month due to high demand, but opened a space on their agenda and shared with Free press Part of his routine, the most frequent doubts of his patients and other questions that arise during menopause.
The interview was about 20 minutes because then he would briefly take his breakfast and start the day. His agenda could be infinite, but he has also had to set limits to take care of his healthof that and more speaks to us in this article.
What has impressed you more in your career by providing support to women?
Everything, but I am especially impacting young patients with Cérvix cancer. Although medical guides indicate that the risk of developing this disease increases with age, I had a patient who died at age 23 due to cervix cancer.
American guides recommend making papaserolou from the age of 25, but it shouldn’t always be a strict rule. There are also young patients with endometrium cancer.
Sometimes, in Tiktok they say that doctors are Gordophobic, but it is not. Personally, when I see an overweight patient, I recognize the risk factors that this represents. In addition, some patients do not consult in time due to lack of education.
One of the cases that I remember most in my practices at the Roosevelt hospital is that of a patient who had been convulsing in his house. Her husband did not want to take her to the hospital because she believed she was demonized. He was taken pastors and priests, but in reality he suffered from Eclampsia, a complication of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and other conditions. The mother died and left three or four orphaned children. Sometimes they think that patients die in national hospitals, but sometimes due to lack of information they are too late.

You stay close to your patients through your networks. What experience have you had?
In most of my videos I never say: “come by consultation.” On the contrary, I always tell them: “Go with your gynecologist”, because that is the goal: that they can detect any problem in time. Many of the followers are in other countries.
Sometimes, some people have told me that, thanks to this guide, they came with their gynecologist to consult about problems such as an irregular menstruation that appears every three months, which is not normal, among other cases. Sometimes they believe I am on the networks only by marketing, but if they come, great; And if they go with another doctor, it’s fine too.
What are the most frequent doubts of patients about menopause?
They are worried about whether they will happen or not, but all women will reach that stage and cannot be avoided. It is known what happens between 45 and 55 years. Here in Guatemala, the average is also within that range. If it happens before, we are talking about premature menopause.
Some women have symptoms and others do not. All we can do is reduce discomfort. Sometimes known embarrassment or intense heats appear; There are also humor, insomnia or headaches changes. However, many women do not present any symptoms.
The inconvenience are not hereditary, and that is another common belief: that if their mother went wrong, they will also go wrong. Actually, each woman is different. In general, exercise and maintain healthy weight helps improve the situation, but does not guarantee it.
Is it positive to use hormones or hormonal therapy during menopause?
A study conducted in 2002 in the United States reported an increase in cases of breast cancer and heart problems associated with the use of this therapy. For a while, doctors stopped prescribing it. However, subsequent studies determined that the risk was related to the age of the patients.
Currently, different criteria are taken into account to prescribe it or not. Factors such as obesity, hypertension and other patient health problems are evaluated. It cannot be affirmed in general that all women must use or avoid it; Each case must be analyzed individually.
The older we are, is it more difficult to lose weight?
Age influences, but on many occasions measures are not taken to lead a healthy lifestyle and achieve the ideal weight. The most advisable thing is to visit a nutritionist to receive adequate guide.

Your schedule is very agitated. How do you balancing it?
It is complicated because I worked from 7 to 21 hours, or even more. Little by little I have been moderating it because I did not have time to exercise or eat well, which led me to be in prediabetes. That was an alert to put limits in my query time and my rhythm of life. Now I move more, I try to eat better and include other hobbies, such as football.
An additional thing you want to say to your patients?
Seek to make their checks. Let’s try to change that mentality that we have in Guatemala about healing medicine, because we usually attend consultation only when something hurts or when we already have a problem, but not as a prevention measure to ensure that we are fine.
