Gynecology Clinic in Eugene, OR

Gynecology clinics are places where gynecologists work. Gynecologists are doctors who have done additional schooling and training specifically on the female reproductive system and have been trained to diagnose and treat conditions and diseases specific to the female reproductive system. This extends beyond the care of the vulva, uterus, and ovaries and also includes the care of women’s breasts as this is also a part of the female reproductive system. This means that besides doing regular pap smears and reproductive check-ups they also can help you with cancer screenings, issues with menopause, diagnosing and treating reproductive disorders, physical exams, and helping with child planning birth control options.

Some women may be referred to a gynecologist by their primary care physician and this could be for a plethora of reasons such as you have been having irregular periods for an extended period, you have had changes in your vaginal discharge, or you have begun to have pains during intercourse you did not have previously. Other reasons to see a gynecologist are for maternal healthcare if you have become pregnant or believe you are pregnant, you need a pap smear done, you are concerned about your gynecological health, you would like to go on birth control or change your current birth control to another method, or you are experiencing urinary concerns like blood in the urine or pain while urinating.
 
Since gynecologists specialize in reproductive care they can help assess beyond what your primary care physician can, which means they better understand what they are diagnosing and the best methods of treatment to improve your overall health.

Since they deal with conditions specific to the reproductive system they can aid you in the treatment of conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, cervical cancer or benign tumors, menopause-related conditions,  uterine fibroids, infections like yeast infections, STIs, STDs, menstruation issues, irregular periods, pelvic pain and unique situations like boils or pimples on your vulva or inside the vagina.
 
They also may treat other situations where the reproductive system has started to affect the anus or has caused urinary tract infections (UTIs). With the broad care of the reproductive system, they are vital in maintaining women’s overall health throughout their lives since they also can assist in menopause care and menopause-related conditions.

If it is your first appointment with your gynecologist they may go over your medical history with you to confirm that the information they have is correct, and to discuss if any of your family members have had any conditions that you could potentially be genetically predisposed to. It is important to be fully transparent with your gynecologist regarding your medical history, sexual activity, and any symptoms you have had that are new, and even those that are old like pain during intercourse, as they will use this information to determine what needs to be checked during your appointment.

Once they have done this, they will do an internal and external exam of the vagina and vulva to see if there are any abnormalities, and may also check your breasts to make sure there are no lumps or masses that could be concerning and will then follow this by doing a pap smear to check for infection or disease, along with making sure there is no abnormal cell development that could indicate pelvic cancer. They may also order an ultrasound, urine test, or blood test to determine if there is anything to indicate what is causing the symptoms you are experiencing.
 
Since gynecologists are here to make sure your reproductive system is healthy, and functioning as it needs to, it is important to be as honest with them as you possibly can be since even something small could help them determine your overall reproductive health condition.
