HEAVY, PAINFUL & IRREGULAR PERIODS | TREATMENT OPTIONS

Menstrual Issues

While periods are a normal and natural part of life, they can be a common source of discomfort or concern. Menstrual problems can interfere with daily activities, impact your energy levels, and sometimes signal underlying health conditions that need attention.

Some of the most common issues include:

  • Irregular Periods: Whether this means skipping cycles, struggling with unpredictable timing, or experiencing longer or shorter periods than usual, irregular periods can be frustrating and disruptive.
  • Painful Periods: Also called dysmenorrhea, painful periods can range from mild discomfort to severe cramps that keep you from your usual activities and cause nausea, headaches, or other symptoms.
  • Heavy or Prolonged Periods: Also known as menorrhagia, these are characterized by excessive bleeding that lasts longer than seven days or soaks through pads or tampons every hour for several hours.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it might indicate an underlying condition that needs medical attention. Some potential causes include hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, or endometriosis.

At Women’s Health Associates Group, we offer a range of advanced treatment options tailored to your needs. Birth control methods, such as the pill or hormonal IUDs, are often the first line of defense when it comes to menstrual cycle treatment.

For more persistent issues, procedures like endometrial ablation or hysteroscopy can provide lasting relief. The “endometrium” is the lining of the uterus, and endometrial ablation is a procedure that destroys this lining to minimize or stop bleeding. Hysteroscopy, on the other hand, allows our experienced gynecological surgeons to diagnose and treat issues like fibroids or polyps with precision and care.

Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care to help you find the solution that works best for your body. If you’re struggling with menstrual issues, we’re here to help you regain control and feel your best. Schedule an appointment with Women’s Health Associates Group today to explore your options.

TREATMENT FOR UTERINE POLYPS, CYSTS & FIBROIDS

Fibroids, Cysts & Polyps

Fibroids, cysts, and polyps are common gynecological conditions that can cause discomfort, disrupt daily life, and, in some cases, lead to complications if left untreated. Each condition affects the reproductive system differently, but all can benefit from expert diagnosis and treatment to alleviate symptoms and protect your health.

  • Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They can range in size and number, causing symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on nearby organs.
  • Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries. While many ovarian cysts resolve on their own, larger or persistent cysts can cause pain, bloating, or complications like ovarian torsion.
  • Polyps are small, often benign growths that form on the uterine lining or cervix. They can cause irregular bleeding, spotting, or fertility challenges.

At Women’s Health Associates Group, we offer a variety of advanced treatments tailored to your specific diagnosis and symptoms.

  • Hysteroscopy: This is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat uterine polyps or fibroids. A small, lighted telescope is inserted through the cervix to provide a clear view of the uterine cavity, allowing for precise polyp removal or treatment of small fibroids.
  • Myomectomy: Used to treat fibroids causing significant symptoms, this is a surgical procedure to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus.
  • Cyst Drainage: This procedure involves removing the fluid from a cyst to relieve pain and prevent complications.
  • Laparoscopy: This minimally-invasive surgery can be used to treat fibroids, ovarian cysts, or polyps. Through small incisions in the abdomen, a camera and surgical instruments are used to remove or address these conditions with precision and minimal recovery time.
  • Hysterectomy: In severe cases, or when other treatments aren’t effective, we may recommend removing the uterus and, in some cases, the ovaries. This is typically reserved for women with significant symptoms who no longer plan to have children.

With advanced gynecological surgery and compassionate care, Women’s Health Associates Group provides comprehensive solutions to restore your health and quality of life. Schedule an appointment today to explore your treatment options, including fibroid surgery, polyp removal surgery, or other gynecological procedures.

TESTING & TREATMENTS FOR COMMON INFECTIONS

Infections & STDs

Gynecological infections and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can affect women of all ages. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and protect your long-term health.

Common gynecological infections include:

  • Yeast infections
  • Bacterial vaginosis
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

These conditions often cause symptoms such as itching, burning, unusual discharge, or pain during urination, and they can usually be treated quickly with the appropriate medications.

Common STDs include:

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhea
  • Genital herpes
  • Trichomoniasis
  • Syphilis
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • HIV/AIDS

Early detection is critical, as many STDs may not cause noticeable symptoms in their initial stages but can lead to more severe health issues if left untreated. Regular screenings, especially for sexually active individuals, are an important part of maintaining your overall health and well-being.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, have concerns about exposure, or simply want peace of mind, our expert providers are here to help. Schedule an appointment with Women’s Health Associates Group today to access expert care and personalized treatment for infections and STDs.

OPTIONS AFTER A CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING

Abnormal Pap Smear Results

Receiving abnormal Pap smear results can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to know that these results don’t always mean cancer. Instead, they indicate the presence of abnormal cells on the cervix that may require further evaluation.

At Women’s Health Associates Group, we offer expert care to guide you through the next steps. For many women, an abnormal Pap smear leads to a colposcopy, a diagnostic procedure that uses a special magnifying device to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva. If needed, a small tissue sample (biopsy) may be taken during the colposcopy to determine if the abnormal cells require further treatment.

In cases where abnormal cells need to be removed, a LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) may be recommended. This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin, electrified wire loop to remove abnormal cervical tissue. LEEP is quick and effective, helping to prevent the progression of abnormal cells into more serious conditions, such as cervical cancer.

Our team is here to provide personalized, compassionate care and ensure you feel informed and supported throughout the process. If you’ve received abnormal Pap smear results, schedule a follow-up appointment with Women’s Health Associates Group today to take the next steps in protecting your cervical health.
