Gynecology

Treatments & Procedures:

• Medications such as birth control pills, hormone therapy, or medicines that reduce bleeding
• Intrauterine device (IUD) that releases hormones to control bleeding
• Minimally invasive surgery such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy to remove fibroids or polyps
• Endometrial ablation (removing or destroying the lining of the uterus to reduce bleeding)
• Hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus, usually only if other treatments don’t work)

Treatments & Procedures:

• Hormone therapy – helps replace estrogen and protect bone and heart health
• Fertility counseling – understand your options for having children
• Egg freezing – preserves healthy eggs for future pregnancy
• In vitro fertilization (IVF) – combines eggs and sperm in a lab, then transfers embryos to the uterus
• Donor egg options – eggs from a donor can be used for pregnancy
• Lifestyle support – nutrition, exercise, and sleep guidance to improve symptoms and protect long-term health

Treatments & Procedures:

Treatment depends on your symptoms, age, and fertility goals. Options may include:

• Pain-relief or anti-inflammatory medications
• Hormonal birth control or other hormone therapies to slow tissue growth
• Fertility-focused management if pregnancy is desired
• Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) to diagnose and remove endometriosis tissue, such as:
  • Diagnostic laparoscopy to confirm the presence and extent of endometriosis
  • Laparoscopic excision or ablation to remove or destroy endometrial lesions and scar tissue
  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopy for complex or deep infiltrating endometriosis involving multiple pelvic organs

Treatments & Procedures:

• Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen
• Birth control pills, hormonal IUDs, or injections
• Endometrial ablation to reduce heavy bleeding
• Surgery to treat fibroids, endometriosis, or other causes

Treatments & Procedures:

• Regular Pap smears or HPV testing to monitor changes
• Colposcopy (exam of the cervix with a special scope)
• LEEP or cone biopsy (removes abnormal cells)
• HPV vaccine to prevent infection

Treatments & Procedures:

Evaluation and Testing:

• Medical history and physical exam
• Blood tests to check hormone levels
• Ultrasound to evaluate the uterus and ovaries
• Hysterosalpingography (X-ray with dye to check if tubes are open)
• Semen analysis to assess male fertility

Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatments:

• Laparoscopy (treats endometriosis, scar tissue, or blocked tubes)
• Hysteroscopy (treats problems inside the uterus, such as polyps or fibroids)
• Myomectomy (removes fibroids while keeping the uterus)
• Tubal surgery (opens or repairs fallopian tubes)

Additional Care:

• Referral for advanced fertility treatments, such as IVF, when needed
• Care plans may combine surgery with medication or fertility treatment

Treatments & Procedures:

• Birth control pills or IUDs to regulate the cycle
• Hormone therapy to correct imbalances
• Treatment for underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues
• Lifestyle changes like stress management, diet, and exercise

Treatments & Procedures:

• Hormone therapy – replaces estrogen to relieve symptoms and protect bone health
• Non-hormonal medications – help with hot flashes, mood, or sleep issues
• Vaginal estrogen – relieves dryness and discomfort
• Bone health screening – checks for signs of osteoporosis
• Heart health screening – monitors cholesterol, blood pressure, and risk factors
• Lifestyle counseling – nutrition, exercise, and stress management to support long-term health

Treatments & Procedures:

Treatment depends on your age, symptoms, and the size and type of cyst. Many cysts can be safely monitored with ultrasound. If treatment is needed, your care plan may include:

• Observation and follow-up imaging to monitor changes
• Hormonal medication (such as birth control) to prevent new cysts from forming
• Pain relief or anti-inflammatory medication
• Minimally invasive surgery (MIGS) to remove a cyst or treat related conditions, such as:
  • Laparoscopic cystectomy to remove a cyst through tiny incisions while keeping the ovary intact
  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopy for complex cysts or cases involving scar tissue or endometriosis
  • Oophorectomy (removal of the ovary) only when necessary for large, recurrent, or suspicious cysts

Treatments & Procedures:

Treatment depends on the cause of the pain. Your provider will begin with a thorough evaluation, including imaging or diagnostic testing if needed. Options may include:

• Pain-relief or anti-inflammatory medications
• Hormonal therapies to manage endometriosis or fibroids
• Physical therapy or pelvic floor rehabilitation
• Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) for diagnosis or treatment, such as:
  • Laparoscopy to diagnose and treat endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, or scar tissue
  • Hysteroscopy to remove uterine polyps or fibroids inside the uterus
  • Endometrial ablation to treat abnormal uterine bleeding that contributes to pain
  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopy for complex pelvic surgeries requiring enhanced precision

Treatments & Procedures:

• Hormone therapy – balances estrogen to reduce hot flashes and night sweats
• Non-hormonal medications – help with sleep, mood, or hot flashes
• Vaginal estrogen – relieves dryness and discomfort
• Lifestyle support – guidance for nutrition, exercise, and stress management
• Sleep strategies – to improve rest and energy

Treatments & Procedures:

• Birth control pills to regulate cycles
• Medicines like metformin to help with hormones and blood sugar
• Fertility treatments if pregnancy is desired
• Lifestyle changes, including healthy eating and exercise

Treatments & Procedures:

• Counseling or sex therapy to address stress, anxiety, or relationship concerns
• Medications or hormone therapy (such as estrogen for vaginal dryness or testosterone in select cases)
• Pelvic floor physical therapy to improve muscle control and reduce pain
• Lubricants or moisturizers for comfort during intercourse

Treatments & Procedures:

• Medicines to control bleeding or shrink fibroids
• Uterine fibroid embolization (blocks blood flow to shrink fibroids)
• Myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids)
• Hysterectomy (removes the uterus, used for severe cases)

Treatments & Procedures:

• Antifungal creams or pills for yeast infections
• Antibiotics for bacterial infections
• Avoiding scented soaps or irritants
