What is gynecology?

Gynecology is the medical specialty focused on preventing and treating diseases of the female reproductive system. At Trusted Women’s Health Center, Dr. Aldabbagh manages your reproductive and breast health and treats the full range of gynecological conditions affecting your uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina, and external genitalia.

What gynecology services might I receive?

Dr. Aldabbagh provides comprehensive gynecological services, including annual well-woman exams. Annual exams are the best way to find early signs of problems and get preventive health care, even before symptoms appear.

These gynecology services are provided during your exam or any time you need them:

• Pelvic exam
• Breast exam (breast cancer screening)
• Pap smear (cervical cancer screening)
• Contraception
• Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and treatment
• Menopause management
• Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

Dr. Aldabbagh treats the whole person, screening for conditions you may not associate with gynecology, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. He can also remind you when it’s time for health screenings that he doesn’t perform, like bone density screening for osteoporosis or a mammogram.

At Trusted Women’s Health Center, you have the convenience of in-office procedures when needed. A few examples include hysteroscopy (to look inside your uterus), endometrial ablation (to treat heavy bleeding), colposcopy (to examine your cervix), and urodynamics (specialized testing for urinary incontinence). Dr. Aldabbagh also specializes in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

When should I schedule a gynecology appointment?

Women should have a pelvic exam and Pap smear when they turn 21. Then, they should schedule yearly well-woman exams or make an appointment if they have signs of a problem.

Symptoms telling you to seek gynecological care include:

• Heavy bleeding
• Bleeding between periods
• Bleeding after menopause
• Irregular or missed periods
• No menstrual periods
• Pelvic pain (not due to menstrual cramps)
• Pain during intercourse
• Itching, burning, or sores in the vaginal area
• Unpleasant vaginal discharge
• Frequent need to urinate
• Burning during urination

Seeking prompt treatment does more than relieve your symptoms — it also prevents potential complications. 

What conditions do gynecologists treat?

The symptoms listed above are signs of many possible reproductive health problems treated by Dr. Aldabbagh. A few of the most common gynecological conditions include:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Pelvic adhesions
• Ovarian cysts
• Uterine fibroids
• Benign pelvic masses
• Uterine and bladder prolapse
• Endometriosis
• Painful intercourse
