Gynecology

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is a field of medical care that focuses primarily on the health and wellness of women in every stage of their development. Gynecology reflects dramatically shifting needs that change as you experience many possible phases throughout your lifetime, including: 

• Entering puberty and onset of menses
• Becoming sexually active
• Avoiding pregnancy
• Struggling with infertility  
• Getting pregnant and having a baby
• Managing stress of family, home, and work 
• Experiencing perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause 

Gynecology encompasses the treatment of acute and chronic disorders, like heavy bleeding, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as well as support for natural phases in a woman's life, like pregnancy or menopause.

Because a woman's needs change so much throughout her life, quality gynecology care is dynamic and highly-personalized with your emotional, mental, and physical needs in mind.
