Conditions We Treat

Amenorrhea

Amenorrhea is the absence of a girl or woman's menstrual cycle (period); for women, diagnosis is after 3 months without a period, and girls are diagnosed if they have not had a period by age 15. Causes range from pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause (natural amenorrhea) to medications and lifestyle conditions, like low body fat and excessive training or exercise for girls.

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding

Abnormal vaginal bleeding is any bleeding that is outside a normal menstruation (period). This may occur as spotting (light bleeding) or involve heavier bleeding. Any abnormal bleeding should be investigated, as causes can range from polyps and cysts to uterine, cervical and endometrial cancer (reproductive system canders) and celiac disease (wheat protein intolerance).

Fecal And Urinary Incontinence

Both fecal and urinary incontinence issues range in severity from an occasional leak of urine or stool from a cough or sneeze to complete loss of control. Commonly nerve or muscle damage from childbirth, aging or physical disability is the cause, but things like constipation, surgery or illness can also be factors. Medical treatment and lifestyle changes can ease symptoms.

Fibroids

Fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that can appear in the uterus and most often do so in a woman's childbearing years. Fibroids come in all sizes and can grow quickly or remain small, and though there are not always symptoms, sometimes heavy bleeding or a very long menstrual cycle are a sign fibroids are present. Though there is not a known cause other than being a woman of childbearing age, fibroids are known to be hereditary (run in families).

Infertility

Infertility means the inability to get pregnant (conceive and carry a baby). There can be many reasons and conditions that prevent pregnancy, affecting both the female and male body, including age, conditions in the reproductive system, cancer and more. While approximately 90% of couples achieve pregnancy within a year of unprotected sex, there are many treatments to help couples with infertility if they are having issues conceiving.

PCOS symptoms include irregular or missed periods, excessive body hair, high levels of the hormone insulin, and weight gain. Exact causes are unknown, but excess insulin, general inflammation and heredity (in the family) are thought to play a role.
