Urology / Gynecology

Gynecology

Gynecology is the branch of medicine that deals with the health of females, specifically the female reproductive organs. Women's Health Center of Oregon provides gynecologic care to women of all ages. 

As part of comprehensive gynecologic care, we provide annual well woman exams.  During your well woman exam, you will be screened for potential gynecologic health problems. These screenings may include a pelvic exam, pap smear, breast exam, laboratory testing, as well as contraceptive or menopause management counseling.

In addition to annual well woman exams, we provide care for a variety of gynecological issues including, but not limited to:

• Colposcopy & LEEP procedures for the management of abnormal pap smears
• Prevention information and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases
• Treatment for fibroids and endometriosis
• Treatment for uterine and vaginal prolapse
• Treatment for incontinence and other bladder issues
• Diagnosis and treatment for pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding
• Cancer screening
• Osteoporosis screening (Bone densitometry)
• Treatment for vaginal infections
• Contraception, including IUDs, Essure, Implanon, Tubal ligation, and others
• Family planning counseling
• Menopause management
• Breast exams and mammograms

Urogynecology

Urogynecology is a subspecialty of OB/GYN practice that addresses pelvic floor disorders. Common disorders include, but are not limited to, urinary incontinence, prolapse of the uterus and vagina or bladder (bulging or falling of these organs). Pelvic floor disorders are believed to result from the effects of childbirth and aging.

There are multiple treatment options for patients with pelvic floor disorders. Depending on the severity of symptoms, your healthcare provider may recommend medications, vaginal devices or surgical treatment options. Please make an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment for you.
