We also provide vaccinations, discuss lifestyle habits, and offer advice on maintaining a healthy reproductive system.

We diagnose and treat menstrual and hormonal health conditions like irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful cramps, and symptoms of menopause.

Our goal is to help you feel 100% like yourself again and manage symptoms that might be affecting your physical and emotional well-being.

We ensure you have the information and support you need to make informed decisions for your family.

We work closely with you and any necessary specialists to ensure you receive comprehensive care.

Gynecology FAQs
How Often Should I See a Gynecologist?
We recommend scheduling an annual gynecological exam starting at age 21, or earlier if you experience menstrual issues, pelvic pain, or other concerns. Regular visits help us monitor your reproductive health, catch potential problems early, and provide guidance on contraception, fertility, or menopause.
What Options Are Available for Birth Control?
We offer a wide range of contraceptive options, including birth control pills, patches, injections, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and hormonal implants. We’ll work with you to find the option that best fits your lifestyle, health needs, and future family planning goals.
What Should I Do if I’m Experiencing Pelvic Pain?
Pelvic pain can have many causes, such as endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, or infections. It’s important not to ignore ongoing or severe discomfort. We’ll conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include blood tests, ultrasounds, or other imaging, to diagnose the issue and create an appropriate treatment plan.
Is It Normal to Experience Pain During Sex?
Pain during intercourse is not something you should just “live with.” It can be caused by vaginal dryness, hormonal changes, infections, or other medical conditions. We encourage you to bring up any discomfort so we can identify the cause and offer solutions, which may include medication, pelvic floor therapy, or other treatments.
What Happens During an Annual Gynecological Exam?
An annual exam typically includes a review of your medical history, a physical exam, a breast exam, and a pelvic exam. If you’re due, we’ll perform a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer. We’ll also discuss any health concerns, changes in your cycle, or questions you may have about birth control, sexual health, or menopause.
When Should I Worry About Irregular Periods?
Occasional changes in your menstrual cycle are common, but you should schedule an appointment if you experience very heavy bleeding, missed periods, severe cramps, or spotting between cycles. These symptoms can be signs of hormonal imbalances, fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other conditions that need evaluation.
