Care for Menstrual & Pelvic Disorders
We provide expert care for a variety of menstrual and pelvic conditions, offering advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatments to help you feel your best.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is a common hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and difficulty conceiving. We offer:
- Hormonal Testing: To diagnose and monitor PCOS.
- Lifestyle Guidance: Recommendations for diet, exercise, and weight management to improve symptoms.
- Medications: Treatments to regulate periods, manage symptoms, and support fertility.
Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea)
Severe menstrual cramps can interfere with your daily life. Our compassionate team provides:
- Evaluation of Underlying Causes: Identifying conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, or other potential causes of painful periods.
- Pain Management: Offering a range of options, including medications, non-hormonal therapies, and surgical treatments when necessary, to reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.
- Hormonal Treatments: Utilizing birth control pills, IUDs, or other therapies to regulate cycles and alleviate pain effectively.
Heavy Periods (Menorrhagia)
Excessive menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia and fatigue. We offer:
- Diagnostic Testing: Ultrasounds, blood tests, and endometrial biopsies to identify the cause.
- Minimally Invasive Treatments: Endometrial ablation, hysteroscopy, or hormonal therapies to reduce bleeding.
- Personalized Care Plans: Tailored solutions to improve your quality of life.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and fertility challenges. We provide:
- Advanced Diagnostics: Imaging and laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.
- Medical Management: Hormonal therapies to reduce pain and slow disease progression.
- Surgical Options: Minimally invasive procedures to remove endometrial tissue and improve symptoms.
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis occurs when the uterine lining grows into the uterine wall, causing heavy periods and pain. We provide:

- Symptom Management: Hormonal therapies and pain relief options.
- Surgical Treatments: Hysterectomy for severe cases when other treatments are ineffective.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. We offer:

- Medical Treatments: Hormonal therapies to manage symptoms.
- Surgical Solutions: Minimally invasive procedures, such as myomectomy or uterine artery embolization, to remove or shrink fibroids and reduce associated discomfort.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid filled sacs or pouches on ovary, or solid growths that can form on ovary. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, irregular periods, pain or bloating. They may resolve on their own or require surgical removal. We provide:
- Monitoring & Diagnosis: Ultrasounds to evaluate cyst size and type.
- Medical Management: Hormonal treatments to prevent new cysts.
- Surgical Removal: Minimally invasive procedures for large or symptomatic cysts.
