Gynecology Treatments

Every person is different, and so is every gynecological situation. Our providers work with you to determine the best treatment plan.

This might be a wait-and-see approach, symptom management, medication or surgery. You may have a range of treatments available to you, depending on your situation. We provide as many options as possible to ensure you have the best outcome. 

Gynecology Treatments

Pelvic floor rehabilitation: Pelvic floor rehabilitation involves various forms of physical therapy and other services to treat conditions such as incontinence, overactive bladder, postpartum pain, pelvic organ prolapse and more.

Gynecological cancer treatments: After a surgical procedure has removed as much of the cancer as possible, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be used.

Fertility treatments: Depending on the cause of infertility, you may have several options for assistance in getting pregnant. These options can range from medication to surgery.

Gynecology Procedures

Dilation and curettage: Also called a D&C or sometimes D&E (dilation and evacuation), a dilation and curettage is a procedure in which the provider dilates the cervix and removes abnormal tissue from the lining of the uterus.

Endometrial ablation: During an endometrial ablation, your doctor will destroy a thin layer of the uterine lining using either heat or cold. The procedure is used to stop or lessen heavy menstrual bleeding.

Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP): During the loop electrosurgical excision procedure, a heated wire will be used to remove abnormal or cancerous tissue in the vagina or cervix. 

Gynecology Surgery

Suspension surgery: Using robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy, a surgeon can treat bladder, vaginal vault or uterine prolapse. Prolapse occurs when one of these organs sags down because of weakened support, which can happen due to childbirth, aging, a previous procedure or another condition.

Gynecological cancer surgery: Surgery may be the first option for gynecological cancer—including cervical, uterine, ovarian or another type of pelvic cancer. Minimally invasive options are used when possible, and sometimes robotic-assisted surgery also can be used.

Hysterectomy: During a hysterectomy, the uterus and sometimes other parts of a woman’s reproductive system are removed. It often can be performed with minimally invasive robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Sometimes a traditional abdominal hysterectomy is needed.

Tubal ligation: Also known as “getting your tubes tied,” a tubal ligation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that cuts or blocks the fallopian tubes to permanently prevent future pregnancies.

Emergency Gynecology Care

Our 24/7 women’s center for OB/GYN emergencies is staffed with specialists around-the-clock to treat sudden, serious gynecological symptoms. We can treat abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pregnancy complications.

The OB/GYN emergency center is located at the Women's & Children's Hospital on level G, separate from the general emergency room.
