Specialists at Ascension Providence deliver advanced care for women's health conditions.
Women’s health treatment and procedures
At Ascension Providence, we provide a comprehensive range of personalized treatments, procedures and advanced care options to support your health needs at every stage of life, including:
A well-woman exam is a yearly visit focused on preventive care and overall health. During the exam, your provider reviews your health history, checks vital signs and may perform a breast exam and pelvic exam.
Treatment options may include medication, surgery or a combination of both. If your symptoms are mild, your doctor may recommend options to help manage discomfort. In some cases, additional medications may be used to help regulate your body’s natural processes and slow the progression of endometriosis. Your care team will work with you to create a personalized plan that supports your health and well-being.
Pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, pessary fitting and surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse or bladder issues.
Hormone therapy, cycle regulation and treatment for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid-related menstrual changes.
Menopause management focuses on relieving symptoms caused by hormonal changes. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes and vaginal dryness. Treatment may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or non-hormonal medications. Lifestyle guidance and preventive screenings are also part of care during this stage of life.
Laparoscopic and robotic procedures for fibroids, endometriosis, cysts, hysterectomy and pelvic pain.
Gynecologic care for female development concerns, puberty and more in children and teens.
From prenatal to postpartum visits, we care for the whole you, including your emotional health. Prenatal care includes regular physical exams, where your doctor monitors your blood pressure, weight, baby’s heart rate and growth. During these appointments, you’ll also talk with your doctor about your family health history, risk factors and any other health concerns.
