Adolescent Pelvic Exams

Pelvic exams for females during their adolescent (teen) years. This is an examination of the organs of the female reproductive system.

Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)

A bone density test, or DEXA Scan,  is a noninvasive, evaluation procedure that uses x-rays to measure bone mass or the weight of the skeleton. The amount of bone in the skeleton determines how strong it is. Bone densitometry is often used to measure bone mass in the spine, hips and arms, as these are the areas most likely to fracture when bone mass is low.

Endometrial Ablation

A surgical procedure that destroys the lining of the uterus. Unlike a hysterectomy, it does not remove the uterus. Endometrial ablation may stop all menstrual bleeding in some women. However, some women still have light menstrual bleeding or spotting after endometrial ablation. A few women have regular menstrual periods after the procedure. Women who have endometrial ablation still need to use some form of birth control even though, in most cases, pregnancy is not likely after the procedure.

Family Planning

Methods used by sexually active couples to prevent, space or achieve pregnancy in order to attain the desired family size.

Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring

Electronic fetal heart monitoring is done during pregnancy, labor, and delivery to keep track of the heart rate of your baby (fetus) and the strength and duration of the contractions of your uterus. Your baby's heart rate is a good way to tell whether your baby is doing well or may have some problems. Two types of monitoring, external and internal, can be done.

Gynecological Care and Exams

The medical specialty dealing with health of the female reproductive system.

High-Risk Obstetrical Care

A full range of high-risk obstetrical services for both the high-risk pregnant patient and fetal complications.

Infertility Treatment

Infertility is defined by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) as a disease of the reproductive system that impairs the body's ability to perform the basic function of reproduction. Types of treatments for women may include: ovulation medications, intrauterine insemination, surgery, or assisted reproductive technology (ART). There also is a range of treatment options currently available for male factor infertility. Treatment may include: assisted reproductive technologies (ART), drug therapy, or surgery.

Laboratory Services

Menopausal Care

Care for women who have reached the time in their life in which the menstrual cycle ends.

Obstetrics

The branch of medicine dealing with childbirth and care of the mother.

Pap Test

A Pap test (also called Pap smear) involves microscopic examination of cells collected from the cervix, used to detect changes that may be cancer or may lead to cancer, and to show noncancerous conditions, such as infection or inflammation.

Pelvic Exam

During a pelvic examination, a physician examines the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and rectum.

Pelvic Ultrasound

A pelvic ultrasound is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess organs and structures within the female pelvis. A pelvic ultrasound allows quick visualization of the female pelvic organs and structures including the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Doppler ultrasound may also show blood flow in certain pelvic organs.

Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Treatment of communicable infections transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound, also called sonography, is a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels.
