Why Stay Informed About Your Reproductive Health?

Regular reproductive health appointments can improve your overall health by eliminating risks of diseases and infertility, treating health concerns, and providing education to maintain wellness. Recognize the normalities of your body — especially around certain stages in your menstrual cycle — to better understand what may be considered a complication. Finding and treating reproductive health issues early can increase your chances for success and decrease the need for further procedures.

Our Reproductive Health Services

We recognize the various concerns associated with reproductive health. For your safety, our specialists address concerns relating to:

• Birth control pills: There are several forms of birth control, but the oral contraceptive is among the most popular. This medication produces hormones to stop ovulation and prevent the male sperm from fertilizing a female egg. A prescription is needed for this medication, and it must be taken every day to remain effective.
• IUD: An intrauterine device (IUD) is another effective form of birth control. This device is inserted in the uterus to prevent pregnancy by releasing the hormone progestin. An IUD can come in plastic or copper material, which varies in length of effectiveness.
• Fertility: Couples struggling with infertility have a few options for fertility services. These can range from medications to surgical procedures to assisted contraception. Assisted contraception includes treatments like intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
• PCOS: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a hormonal disorder resulting in enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the edges. While there is no known cure for PCOS, several medication treatment options are available to ease the symptoms.
• Menstrual problems: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can be painful, bringing menstrual irregularities, cramps, and cystic acne. Birth control pills have been known to help alleviate symptoms and regulate the menstrual cycle. Additionally, doctors can prescribe stronger pain medications for severe period pain.
