Obstetrics/Gynecology

General Obstetrics

Programs that are staffed by specialists who provide care for women who have routine pregnancies. Obstetricians are responsible for managing a woman's pregnancy, delivering her child and providing medical care, as needed, during the period of time it takes for her uterus to return to its normal size (generally 42 days).

Gynecology Services

Programs usually available in community-based health clinics and family planning centers that provide primary and preventive care, family planning services, diagnostic imaging, management of menopause, medical and surgical treatment of women's disorders and/or diagnosis and treatment of cancers affecting the female genital system. Specific routine services generally include pap smears, pelvic examinations, breast exams, urinalysis, pregnancy testing, laboratory tests including testing for sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, morning after contraception and hormone replacement therapy.

Urogynecology

Programs that are staffed by specialists who have expertise in the treatment of women who have dysfunctions that affect the pelvic floor, i.e., muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, and nerves that help support and control the rectum, uterus, vagina, and bladder. The pelvic floor can be damaged by childbirth, repeated heavy lifting, chronic disease or surgery. Specific problems may include bladder and bowel incontinence, prolapse (descent of pelvic organs; a bulge and/or pressure; or dropped uterus, bladder, vagina or rectum), difficulty urinating or moving the bowels, discomfort, burning or other uncomfortable pelvic symptoms, including bladder or urethral pain or overactive bladder.
