Primary Services from Our Gynecologist

Many women start visiting a gynecologist when they’re teenagers, often going to their mothers’ doctor for their first visit. Once a teen has begun menstruating, regular visits are recommended. When females become sexually active, it’s advisable to maintain annual checkups. Some of the most common procedures covered by the gynecology field include birth control in its various forms, such as:

• IUD insertion. This birth control device needs to be put in place by your female gynecologist.
• IUD removal. No one except your doctor should perform this procedure to ensure you don’t develop any infections.
• Pessary fit and insertion. A pessary is a contraceptive that’s also used as a delivery system for antibiotics or to hold up your uterus when necessary.
• Birth control pill prescriptions. Your doctor monitors your pill usage to make sure you don’t suffer from any undo side effects.

You should continue visiting a gynecologist for a well-woman visit even when you’ve reached menopause. Throughout your life, your physician provides an array of important preventive procedures, tests, and diagnostics to maintain your overall health. These services may include:

• Pap smear. Your doctor removes a sample of cells from your cervix to test for the disease and/or infection.
• Breast exam. This exam is done in conjunction with an annual mammogram to look for unusual lumps or signs that you may have developed the beginnings of breast cancer.
• Bone density tests. These tests help to catch osteoporosis in the earliest stages when treatment and lifestyle changes are most helpful.
• Urine pregnancy test. It’s always better to get a pregnancy test from your gynecologist rather than from the local pharmacy.

Treatments When Needed

At various times in your life, you may have issues that require further testing and/or treatment. Throughout your entire pregnancy, for example, your doctor’s gynecology expertise allows her to track your progress and ensure that you meet various health checkpoints throughout the nine months. As you reach menopause, your gynecologist can help you get through uncomfortable side effects with effective medication, like hormone replacement supplements.

Other tests commonly performed in the office of our gynecologist or an outpatient hospital setting include:

• Biopsy, to test breast or other tissue samples to determine if unusual cells are malignant or benign
• Endometrial biopsy is a technique used to scrape a tissue sample from your uterus also to test it for signs of cancer or other diseases
• Colposcopy is sometimes performed after an abnormal pap smear to better examine your vagina, vulva, and cervix for signs of disease
• Urodynamic testing, which is done when you have problems urinating or issues with your urethra, especially when you report problems with your bladder
• Dilation and curettage, more commonly referred to as a D&C, is a procedure gynecologist does when you have endometriosis or excessive vaginal bleeding
• Tubal ligation, a permanent form of birth control that involves tying your tubes
• Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that can be done in a few different ways to remove your uterus
• Cervical Cone Biopsy is a procedure to remove a cone-shaped sample of tissue from your cervix
• A Sonogram is an image-processing procedure that helps to diagnose various medical conditions
