What Gynecologic Conditions are Commonly Treated?
The team at Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida diagnose and treat every type of gynecologic problem. Some of the most common conditions include:
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Abnormal uterine bleeding includes problems such as heavy bleeding, irregular periods, bleeding between periods, and bleeding after menopause.
- Pelvic Pain: Pelvic pain arises from numerous conditions of your reproductive and urinary systems, such as endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, and interstitial cystitis.
- Endometriosis: As patches of endometriosis grow on your ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and throughout the pelvic region, they cause pain and may lead to infertility.
- Uterine Fibroids: These abnormal growths in your uterus are benign (noncancerous) but often cause heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain.
- Ovarian Cysts: Ovarian cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that often go away on their own. However, they may cause bleeding and pain if they grow large or rupture.
- Urinary Incontinence: Loss of bladder control is common as women get older, especially after menopause.
