Gynecology | Gynecologists
When it comes to women’s health and gynecology, it is important to know you’re receiving the highest quality of care possible. Because most women are affected by a gynecological condition at some point in their life, it is important to have a healthcare provider you can count on. Our team of gynecologists specializes in conditions ranging from general women’s health care to several gynecological specialties, ensuring you receive proper care for any and all possible conditions.
Screenings and preventive health care
During your yearly exam, your gynecologist talks to you about your health history, risk factors and preventive health care. This includes a pelvic exam and screenings for early detection of potential cancers for early intervention. Gynecologists also provide referrals for mammograms or other screenings, like a colonoscopy. Your annual wellness exam may include:
- Breast exam
- Lab tests
- Pap smear
If you are diagnosed with a condition and need more advanced care, your gynecologist can deliver a care plan and help connect you with another specialist, such as a urologist or an endocrinologist.
Experienced care for common women’s health conditions
Your gynecologist is here for all your women’s health needs. You can ask your gynecologist anything. Why am I going to the bathroom so often? Is it normal to have leaking? Why am I having pelvic pain? No matter what the situation, when you notice changes—a new lump or bump, pain, discharge—talk with your provider.
When you choose a Beacon provider, you have care options for almost any women’s health need. From the latest diagnostic and treatment options to advanced surgical care, you’ll have the right team to deliver comprehensive care. Gynecology care teams diagnose and treat common women’s health conditions, including:
- Breast lumps, pain or other changes
- Emotional health
- Endocrine and hormone health
- Infections, including yeast infections
- Irregular periods or bleeding
- Loss of bladder control
- Menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes
- Menstrual cramps
- Pelvic floor disorders
- Pelvic pain
- Pregnancy planning
- Urinary tract infection (UTI)
Gynecologic surgery
If surgery is something you are considering or is recommended as part of your care plan, your provider will talk through options and risks. Some gynecologists perform gynecologic surgery, which may bea treatment option for many conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes and vagina.
Whenever possible, your surgeon will recommend minimally invasive techniques and robotic surgery. Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive techniques may mean smaller incisions, less pain, a lower risk of complications and help shorten your recovery. If your surgery may impact your ability to have children, such as if hysterectomy is recommended as part of your care, you and your provider will discuss all of your options and what they mean for you. Together, we’ll develop a care plan that is right for you.
Get a second opinion from a gynecologist
It’s easy to get a second opinion at Beacon. We can review your medical records and healthcare history to answer your questions and discuss options. Talk with one of our providers about a personalized care plan.
Before your appointment, check with your insurance company to find out if a second opinion is covered. We can request your medical records from your doctor on your behalf, so that they can be shared with your care team before your arrival.
