Gynecologic Services

Whether it’s a routine check-up or specialized care, we have the experience and skills you need for every stage of your life.

Menopause and Perimenopause

We’re dedicated to helping you understand menopause and perimenopause, including what your symptoms mean and how treatment can help. 

Perimenopause is the time when your ovaries begin to produce fewer hormones. We can test your blood to determine if you are experiencing perimenopause. We’ll help you understand the reason for your symptoms and whether treatment can help.

Menopause occurs when your ovaries stop working. We can determine if your symptoms signal menopause, and if so, whether treatment like hormone therapy or other alternative therapy is right for you.

Diagnosing a Breast Problem

For the most accurate diagnosis, your gynecologist will use one or more of these procedures.

• Diagnostic mammograms. Investigates abnormalities that have already been identified through a screening or breast exam.
• Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. Uses sound waves to create an image of the breast to guide the removal of tissue from the area of concern.
• Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirations. Draws out fluid and tissue cells from an abnormality in a breast.
• Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. Uses sound waves to create images of the breast to guide the removal of tissue from the area of concern.
• Stereotactic breast biopsy. Draws out a sample of the breast tissue to help determine if cancer cells are present.
• MRI-guided breast biopsy. Produces highly detailed images of breast tissue in women who have had diagnosis of breast cancer, dense breast tissue or genetic factors that put them at risk for cancer.
• Sentinel node biopsy. Drains the first lymph node to determine if breast cancer has spread to the lymph ducts or lymph nodes.
• Ductogram. Helps to diagnose a problem in the milk ducts of the breast.
• Cyst aspiration. Draws out fluid in a cyst of a breast that has grown to a size that causes pain and discomfort.

Genetic Testing

You can learn if you carry the BRCA gene and if you are at greater risk for breast cancer. Ask your doctor if testing and meeting with a genetic counselor is right for you.

Surgery

When surgery is necessary, we’ll use a minimally invasive approach whenever possible. Many gynecologic procedures, including some cancer surgeries and hysterectomy are ideally suited to robotic-assisted surgery or another minimally invasive approach. The benefits can include:

• Smaller, fewer incisions
• Less pain
• Lower risk of infection
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker recovery time
• Less scarring
• Less damage to healthy tissue
• Reduced blood loss

Ask your gynecologist if robotic-assisted or another minimally invasive approach is right for you.

Other Gynecologic Issues

We have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating issues that cause unexplained or ongoing pain and discomfort, including:

• Endometriosis
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• HPV infection infection
• Ovarian cysts
  
• Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Uterine fibroids
• Vaginitis
• Yeast infection
• Adenomyosis
