Women's Health Conditions

Women should consider regular checkups so that doctors can look for abnormalities. Issues can range from gynecological concerns — infertility, menopause, pregnancy, and breast health — to differentiations in other organs. There are several treatment options available to meet every need.

Our Health Services

The following conditions can be monitored and treated through our offered services.

• Incontinence: A common complication in women during or following pregnancy, a lack of voluntary control over urination can include urine leaks when you exert pressure on your bladder — like coughing, sneezing, or laughing. Antidiuretics are medications that cause the kidneys to produce less water, thus decreasing the amount of urine produced.
• Pelvic pain: Discomfort ranging from a dull ache to a sharp pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis. This is not always caused by an underlying disease, but should be analyzed with a pelvic exam. 
• Ovarian cysts: A fluid-filled sac on the surface of the ovary that can cause pain during the menstrual cycle, discomfort during intercourse, or irregular bowel movements. Birth control pills or surgery are treatment options if the cyst does not go away on its own.
• Fibroids: Benign or noncancerous tumors that cause pelvic pain and prolonged, heavy menstruation. Treatments can range from medications to surgical removal of the fibroid.
• Abnormal bleeding: Spotting or bleeding from the uterus that is longer than usual during menstruation or that occurs outside the regular cycle. This can be caused by several health conditions and can be treated with hormone therapies, birth control, or surgical options, depending on the diagnosis.
• Vaginal irritation: Any itching, discomfort, or burning of the vagina, usually caused by an imbalance in bacteria. This is common in women of all ages and can be treated with antifungal medications or provider-recommended creams.
• Menstrual problems: Complications during the menstrual cycle, including cramps and heavy flow. These problems can be helped with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, birth control, or hormone therapy.
• Endometriosis: When cells similar to those in the uterine lining grow outside the uterus. Pain and menstrual irregularities are common symptoms. Hormone therapy and some surgeries can treat painful symptoms.
• UTI: An infection occurring in the bladder or urethra, causing pelvic pain, urination pain, the urge to urinate, and blood in the urine. Antibiotics are typically prescribed to treat UTIs.
• Cervical dysplasia: The growth of abnormal cells in a woman's cervix. This is not cancer, but is found through Pap testing. Mild cases can go away on their own, but more serious treatments can include surgery.
• Amenorrhea: The absence of menstruation, involving missing one or more menstrual periods consecutively. This is normal before puberty, during pregnancy, or after menopause. Birth control pills or hormone therapies are often used to restart menstrual cycles.
