In-Office Endometrial Ablation
We offer a quick, safe, and simple procedure to lighten or stop your periods, without the side effects of hormones or the risks of hysterectomy. An endometrial ablation (EA) procedure can reduce or stop menstrual bleeding. It works by removing the endometrium, with a quick delivery of radio frequency energy. An in-office endometrial ablation is a one-time procedure that can lighten – or end your heavy period – without on-going pills and without hormonal side effects.
Urogynecology
Urinary Incontinence – the loss of bladder control – is a common and often embarrassing problem. Stress incontinence (SUI) is the sudden, unintentional release of urine during everyday activities such as exercising, coughing, or getting up from a seated position. We offer a variety of treatment options including pelvic floor muscle exercises, device insertion and surgery.
Pelvic Floor Prolapse – a disorder in which one or more of the pelvic organs drop from their normal position – is caused by injury to the muscles or tissues that support the pelvic organs. The main cause of this injury is pregnancy and childbirth. Symptoms may include:
- Lower back pain
- A feeling of pressure or fullness in the pelvic area
- Painful intercourse
- Spotting or bleeding from the vagina
