Menopause

Menopause is a hormonal change that every woman will experience (generally between the ages of 45 and 55). Our providers will work with you to help you understand and manage the emotional and physical changes to your body.

Sexual health

Whatever your age, our gynecology providers are here to talk with you about general sexual health concerns such as decreased libido, painful intercourse, sex, and aging.

Family planning and contraception

The family planning program provides high quality, patient centered care. Our goal is to ensure you have control over your family planning choices. We are trained to begin evaluation if you and your partner are experiencing difficulties having a baby and will refer to infertility specialists if needed. We offer sterilization as well. Learn more about family planning.

Pelvic concerns

Many women experience pelvic issues such as urinary incontinence, gynecological infections, pelvic pain, and pelvic floor disorders (such as pelvic organ prolapse). Causes may include urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, and other types of vaginal infections, ovarian cysts, fibroid tumors, or issues with your uterus and pelvic floor. We can provide a range of treatments tailored to your symptoms and refer to specialists in urogynecology when needed.

Menstrual problems and concerns

Many women may experience challenges with their menstrual periods, including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), heavy bleeding, absent, or painful periods. Our team can help you address any problems or concerns you may be experiencing.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common infection of the genital area which may lead to complications. Our providers are trained to diagnose and treat this common infection. Learn more about HPV.

Adolescent care

Teenagers benefit from speaking with our providers confidentially about a wide range of issues including periods, acne, protection from sexually-transmitted diseases, birth control, and gynecological infections.

Vulvar care

At times women with chronic vulvar skin conditions can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Our providers care for benign skin conditions such as lichen sclerosus and other disorders. We also see patients with chronic vaginitis, and with vulvar pain syndromes.
