What is gynecology?
Gynecology is a medical focus that concentrates on women's reproductive health. Preventive care, symptoms resolution, and chronic condition management are all important parts of the gynecological services offered at Lauren Spoo & Associates. Routine well-woman exams and routine screenings, such as Pap smears and breast exams, are part of your gynecological care.
If you notice any unusual changes related to your pelvic or reproductive health, the doctor can perform a comprehensive diagnostic exam to help you find answers. Whether you have a urinary tract infection, sexual dysfunction, or irregular bleeding, Dr. Spoo is ready to help with compassion and care.
What types of issues are addressed with gynecology care?
At Lauren Spoo & Associates, you benefit from:
- Natural hormone therapy
- Menopause management
- Solutions for vulva and vaginal pain
- Fertility evaluations
- Incontinence management with pelvic floor therapy
- PMS treatments
- Low libido evaluation and treatment
- Vaccines for the prevention of cervical cancer
- Pelvic rehabilitation with InTone, Apex, and Intensity
- Weight loss management with new medications that act on the appetite center in the brain and increase satiety, rather than speed up metabolism — combined with a menu guide and exercise recommendation
- Genetic testing for the most appropriate medication associated with your PMDD, PMS, or anxiety/depression associated with the syndrome
Dr. Spoo is also available to help women with libido problems. Although hormone changes can play a role, stress may also be a culprit. The body naturally puts survival ahead of pleasure, and when doing so, it often robs the body of estrogen and testosterone, which are vital to desire and sexual response. Women who have had their uterus or ovaries removed may also have low levels of testosterone and suffer from low libido.
In both these cases, treatments including natural herbs and testosterone can help bring levels back to normal and address the symptoms of hyposexual dysfunction disorder. For the first time, there is now an FDA-approved medication for hyposexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women. It is not a hormone, but works directly on the brain and can be used as needed, which has reportedly shown good results.
Can gynecology help with abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain?
Irregular uterine bleeding can be disruptive to your daily life and be accompanied by unbearable pelvic pain. As many as one in five women experience heavy or long-lasting periods. If you have especially heavy periods, periods that last longer than five to seven days, or spotting between periods, Dr. Spoo offers three options:
- NovaSure® Ablation
- Progesterone IUD
- Hormonal and non-hormonal medications
Talk to Dr. Spoo about which of these options may be best for you if you have heavy bleeding that affects your quality of life. These are not sterilization procedures, but you should be done with your family before undergoing ablation as pregnancy can be dangerous afterward.
