Gynecology: Conditions and Services

      Gynecology is a fascinating field with many aspects. We see women for a variety of gynecological health concerns. These include the following:

• Annual preventative care such as Pap smears
• HPV vaccine for the prevention of cervical cancer
• "Female problems," such as heavy irregular periods, cramping, and menopause
• Urinary problems
• Fertility concerns for couples who are trying to become pregnant
• Consultation to other providers for perimenopausal problems and care

      To provide these varied services, we see patients in the office, the Emergency Room, and if the situation warrants, the Operating Room at Memorial North Hospital. The in-office procedures we can offer include:

• Pap and Pelvic Exam
• STD counseling
• STD counseling
• IUD Insertion
• Prescription of contraceptives
• Infertility investigation
• Colposcopy of abnormal Paps

• Endometrial ablation for menorrhagia (heavy bleeding)
• Removal of genital lesions
• Urodynamic studies to diagnose urine problems such as leakage
