Domestic Violence Counseling
Your doctor can assist you if you are or have been in an abusive relationship. He or she may help treat anxiety, depression, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of the relationship. For immediate domestic violence assistance, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is an often painful condition. During endometriosis, the endometrium tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus grows outside your uterus. Endometriosis most commonly affects the tissue lining your pelvis, your fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Endometrial tissue may spread beyond pelvic organs, but this is rare.
Premenstrual Syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms may include breast tenderness, fatigue, mood swings, food cravings, irritability, and depression. Your OB/GYN may recommend lifestyle adjustments and treatments to help reduce or manage your symptoms.
Pelvic Pain Management
Many disorders can cause pelvic pain. After discussing your family and personal health history, your doctor may conduct exams and order various diagnostic procedures such as pelvic exams, lab tests, ultrasounds, CT scans, and laparoscopy.
Pelvic Floor Disorders
Childbirth and other circumstances can weaken or damage the pelvic organs and pelvic floor, including the vagina, bladder, and bowel. These organs may descend through the vaginal opening, causing a variety of symptoms such as incontinence, prolapse, bladder emptying disorders or overactive bladder. Your OB/GYN can recommend various therapies or even surgery to correct these problems.
