Gynecology Services

Our women’s health clinics provide comprehensive annual gynecological exams to help detect and prevent reproductive health issues early. These exams include screenings for cervical dysplasia, menstrual disorders, and breast health, while offering time to discuss family planning, menopause, pelvic pain, and other concerns with your preferred OB-GYN provider.

Birth control, or contraception, includes a wide range of methods to prevent pregnancy and support reproductive health. Options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, rings, shots, and implants; non-hormonal choices such as condoms, diaphragms, and copper IUDs; emergency contraception; natural family planning; and permanent solutions like tubal ligation. Each method varies in effectiveness, convenience, and side effects. Some also help regulate menstrual cycles or treat conditions like acne and cramps.

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that removes the lining of the uterus to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding. It is an effective alternative for women who do not want a hysterectomy and have not responded to hormonal treatments. While highly successful, endometrial ablation is not recommended for women planning future pregnancies and carries some risks, including infection and uterine perforation.

A Pap smear is a simple, effective test that detects early changes in cervical cells, helping prevent cervical cancer. Recommended for women ages 21 to 65, Pap tests should be part of routine health care. Learn when to schedule your Pap smear, what to expect during the procedure, and what abnormal results mean.

A pelvic exam is a quick, routine procedure that helps detect issues like infections, fibroids, and early-stage cancers. Recommended for adult women, this exam is often paired with a Pap smear and provides an opportunity to discuss overall health with your provider. Learn what happens during the exam, when to schedule one, and how to prepare for a comfortable experience.

Our OB-GYN ultrasound services provide real-time, painless imaging to monitor pregnancy and diagnose gynecologic conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, and abnormal bleeding. Performed by certified sonographers, these ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs, helping physicians deliver accurate and timely care.
