The Conditions we Work with

Services

Pelvic Pain & Period Management

Pelvic pain and period management involve dealing with discomfort and issues related to menstruation and the lower abdomen. Pelvic pain is a general term for any pain in the lower part of the belly, which can happen for many reasons, including menstrual cramps, infections, or conditions like endometriosis. Period management refers to handling your monthly menstrual cycle, including managing symptoms like heavy bleeding, cramps, or irregular periods. This can involve using pain relief methods, tracking your cycle, and making lifestyle changes to ease symptoms. In some cases, seeing a healthcare provider is necessary to address more severe or persistent pain and get the right treatment.

Menstrual disorders

Menstrual disorders refer to problems with a woman’s monthly period. This can include a range of issues such as very heavy bleeding, very light bleeding, periods that are too frequent or not frequent enough, or missed periods altogether. Some common menstrual disorders also involve painful cramps or irregular cycles that can disrupt daily life. These problems can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying health conditions. Treatment depends on the specific issue and may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or other medical interventions to help regulate the menstrual cycle and manage symptoms.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus starts growing outside of it, often on other organs in the pelvis, like the ovaries or fallopian tubes. This can cause pain, especially during periods, and may lead to heavy bleeding, pain during sex, and trouble getting pregnant. The misplaced tissue acts like the lining of the uterus by thickening and breaking down each month, but instead of leaving the body, it gets trapped, causing inflammation and pain. Treatment often involves pain management, hormonal therapies, and sometimes surgery to remove the extra tissue

Polycystic Ovarian Disease

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a common condition where the ovaries, which are part of a woman’s reproductive system, develop many small fluid-filled sacs called cysts. This can cause hormonal imbalances, leading to irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, and other symptoms like acne or excessive hair growth. It’s also linked to weight gain and can increase the risk of diabetes. PCOD is manageable with lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes hormone treatments to help regulate menstrual cycles and address other symptoms.

Treatments

Implanon

Implanon is a small, flexible rod that is placed under the skin of your upper arm by a doctor. This rod slowly releases hormones that prevent your ovaries from releasing eggs and make it harder for sperm to reach the eggs. Implanon is a long-term birth control method that is effective for up to three years. It can be easily removed if you decide to get pregnant or wish to switch to a different birth control method.

IUDs (Intrauterine Devices)

IUDs are tiny T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. Hormonal IUDs release hormones that prevent pregnancy for several years. Copper IUDs do not contain hormones but use copper to block sperm and prevent pregnancy. Both types of IUDs are very effective as long-term birth control options and can be removed if you decide to get pregnant or choose another method of contraception.
