Women’s Health Clinic in Eugene, OR

Women’s health doctors, or gynecologists, deal with women’s health issues. As well as screening for and preventing common and serious women’s health issues. Women’s health doctors can provide ongoing support in a myriad of areas.

A gynecologist can offer a variety of services, such as complete well-woman exams that can detect signs of disease such as breast cancer. Additional services provided by gynecologists include ultrasounds, pap smears, contraception, and other reproductive matters. A gynecologist is available to offer advice in the area of several intimate health matters.

Women’s health care may also include providing care related to menopause, urinary incontinence, and other bladder issues, irregular or painful menstruation, and changes to the menstrual cycle. Services are also offered for pain or discomfort in the vaginal area, ovarian cysts, bleeding during or after intercourse, and other abnormal cases of bleeding.

Gynecologists specialize in women’s reproductive health. Pregnant women and mothers who have just given birth are cared for by obstetricians. Their duties include delivering babies as well. Ob-gyns are trained to perform all of these tasks.

You will see your ob-gyn for some of the most important health issues in your life, such as birth control, childbirth, and menopause. A gynecologist can also treat infections and perform surgeries on pelvic organs and the urinary tract. Women’s health includes screening for cancer, early detection of which can prove life-saving. The combination of preventative healthcare measures and treatment makes women’s health extremely important.

Every woman needs gynecological care as part of her overall health. Gynecological exams should be performed annually on women between the ages of 21 and 29, and if they become sexually active before the age of 21, they should begin seeing a gynecologist as soon as possible. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common among women in this age range, so visiting a women’s health doctor is important.

The average woman should see her gynecologist every other year after 30 if she is in good health, not pregnant, and not being treated for a disease. It is important to note, however, that many women in this age group often become pregnant and require more frequent family planning appointments from their gynecologist.

All women, no matter how old, should arrange to see a gynecologist right away if they experience any negative symptoms, severe pelvic pain, changes in their menstrual cycle, or abnormal discharge or odors.
