- EndometriosisThe fallopian tubes may be inspected and dye passed through the cervix and uterus to evaluate tubal function and patency. Evidence of tubal disease, and blockage, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions and ovarian cysts are a few of the fertility related diagnoses that can be made and, under most circumstances, repaired. Photo-documentation allows for a permanent record of the findings and procedures for the patients edification and the possibility of additional consultation. At the end of the procedure, the carbon dioxide is released, deflating the abdomen, and the incisions are closed. Recovery time is usually around one hour in the recovery room and patients are discharged once they are able to urinate, tolerate fluid intake, and walk with assistance.

- Cervical CancerGenital HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. Most sexually active people will get HPV at some time in their lives, though most will never even know it. HPV infection is most common in people in their late teens and early 20s. There are about 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital areas of men and women. Most HPV types cause no symptoms and go away on their own. But some types can cause cervical cancer in women and other less common cancers — like cancers of the anus, penis, vagina, and vulva and oropharynx. Other types of HPV can cause warts in the genital areas of men and women, called genital warts. Genital warts are not life-threatening. But they can cause emotional stress and their treatment can be very uncomfortable. Every year, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,000 women die from this disease in the U.S. About 1% of sexually active adults in the U.S. have visible genital warts at any point in time.

- Endometrial AblationNovaSure endometrial ablation is a one-time, 5-minute procedure that gently removes the lining of the uterus—the part that causes the bleeding. The NovaSure procedure can reduce or stop bleeding altogether. Women with heavy or long-lasting periods who do not wish to have children in the future may be candidates for the NovaSure procedure. Your doctor can decide if the NovaSure procedure is right for you. If you’re sure you don’t want any children in the future, and your doctor rules out more serious causes of heavy bleeding, you may be a good candidate for the NovaSure procedure. Please see novasure.com for more information.
- LaparoscopyLaparoscopy is an outpatient surgical procedure usually performed under general anesthesia. The procedure consists of inserting a camera like instrument through a small incision at the belly button (umbilicus) into the abdomen. Carbon dioxide is used to inflate the abdomen pushing the abdominal organs and bowel aside to allow full visualization of the pelvic organs. Small incisions are made along the lower abdomen where graspers and other fine instruments may be inserted to visualize the entire pelvic (or abdominal) cavity for diagnostic purposes.

- Manual TherapyOMT is performed in your physician’s office and is typically performed by Osteopathic Physicians who have been specially trained in manipulative therapy. This type of therapy is often combined with other medical treatments and medications to aid in the holistic treatment of the patient. The treatments range from indirect (passive) treatments including stretch and massage, to direct (active) treatments including muscle activation and spinal adjustments. Osteopathic manipulation can help patients of all ages in the treatment of numerous medical conditions. It has a number of different uses, including easing pain, promoting healing, and increasing mobility. For OB/GYN patients, OMM can also help with menstrual pain and postoperative care, as well as pregnancy issues including low back pain, carpal tunnel, headaches, and postpartum discomforts. Before performing any OMT, the physician will take your history and perform a physical exam to determine which problems you are experiencing and if OMT will benefit you, or if you will need other medical imaging or treatment related to your complaint. During treatment, the physician will explain each step, what they find on physical exam, and why a certain treatment may be beneficial. Questions are encouraged and the physician will make every attempt to make the patient comfortable, including alternate positioning for the comfort of pregnant patients. Immediately following treatment, it is important to avoid strenuous activity and drink water. Follow-up, if needed, will allow for evaluation of the patients response to treatment, as well as maintenance therapy.
