Gynecology


Annual checkups with a primary care physician are important, but they are just one aspect of promoting overall good health. For women, maintaining good health also includes getting regular gynecological exams that include screening for breast cancer and various gynecological cancers. The Women’s Medical Center in Dothan, AL, offers a full range of gynecology services to help you be your healthiest.

Gynecology Services

At the Women’s Medical Center, our physicians provide routine gynecological exams, breast exams, birth control options, and treatment of symptoms associated with menopause. They are also skilled and experienced in the detection and treatment of osteoporosis.

Breast exams are an integral part of gynecological exams. Research done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that breast cancer is the second most commonly occurring cancer in women. Gynecologists can help with the early detection of breast cancer. During your exam, your gynecologist will check for lumps or other abnormalities in the breast area that might be associated with breast cancer. If there are any concerns, a mammogram can be scheduled for further screening.

For women of childbearing age, several birth control options are available, including birth control pills, intrauterine devices, and injections, such as Depo-Provera. Each birth control method offers its own benefits and advantages. Your gynecologist can help you determine which one is right for you.

Osteoporosis is a condition associated with bone loss. It can affect women as early as age 35 when estrogen levels begin declining. Estrogen helps prevent bone loss, so when estrogen levels decline in the body, bone loss can occur. Gynecologists can recommend ways to prevent developing osteoporosis, as well as to detect and treat it to minimize bone loss when it does occur.

For women going through menopause, your doctor can help you deal with any uncomfortable symptoms. For instance, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and vaginal dryness can all develop with menopause. Your gynecologist can recommend treatment options to help ease the discomfort associated with many of these menopausal symptoms.

Whether you simply need routine gynecological exams, are interested in birth control methods, or are dealing with menopausal symptoms, a gynecologist can address any questions and concerns you might have. The physicians at the Women’s Medical Center in Dothan, AL, provide all types of gynecology services and can help you maintain good health through regular checkups.
