Our Services

Gynecology

Gynecologic care begins at puberty with disease prevention, education and regular screenings. As women move through adolescence and childbearing years into menopause and beyond, the issues they encounter change, along with the type of care they need. We offer comprehensive services for all your women’s health needs, including:

  • Routine care
  • Wellness education and screenings
  • Diagnostic evaluation
  • Surgery
  • Family planning
  • Menopause and perimenopause care
  • Urogynecology and pelvic health

Urogynecology and pelvic floor health

Pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary or fecal incontinence, painful urination, pelvic pain or pelvic organ prolapse, can cause discomfort and embarrassment. But our team of urogynecologists is here to help. Whether you're dealing with one of these issues or another condition, we have the expertise to provide effective treatment and support.

Menopause support

Menopause is a natural part of aging but can cause symptoms that are uncomfortable and difficult to navigate. It’s normal to have questions or concerns about your health during this time of your life. The experts at St. Joseph Medical Center are here to address those concerns and help you meet menopause on your own terms. We can support you in controlling and managing symptoms, including:

  • Bone density loss
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Dry skin
  • Hair loss
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Joint pain
  • Mood swings, depression and irritability
  • Racing heart
  • Skipped or irregular periods
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Vaginal dryness

Minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery

If you require surgery for a gynecologic condition, our specialized surgeons will use minimally invasive surgical techniques and robotic-assisted surgery whenever possible. These techniques give surgeons greater precision, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, decreased risk of infection and bleeding, and faster recovery times for you. 

Surgery can be effective in treating gynecologic conditions, such as:

  • Abnormal or excessive uterine bleeding
  • Cancer of the cervix, uterus, ovaries or other pelvic organs
  • Cysts
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroid tumors
  • Pelvic floor disorders
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome
  • Problems that can occur during pregnancy
5 gynecologic surgeons are grouped in the hallway at St. Joseph Medical Center.
Our expert team of gynecologic surgeons use minimally invasive techniques, such as a robotic-assisted surgical system, to deliver positive patient outcomes.
