- Ovarian CancerMutations in these genes have been determined to predispose mutation carriers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or HBOC syndrome.
- Cervical CancerHPV has been in the news a lot lately and chances are you’ve seen commercials for products like GARDASIL®.

- MRIIf you suffer from any of these symptoms, contact your gynecologist. He or she will perform a pelvic examination to determine if prolapse is the cause. Your doctor may then request further tests, such as an ultrasound or an MRI of your pelvis, to obtain a better view of the pelvic organs and support muscles.
- RadiologyThe primary treatment options for patients with large or symptomatic fibroids are interventional radiology or surgery. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is the least invasive of the options, but not everyone is a candidate for this treatment.

- VasectomyPermanently preventing a woman from getting pregnant or a man from being able to impregnate a woman (tubal sterilization for a woman and vasectomy for a man)
- HysterectomyDepending upon the size and location of the fibroids, it may be possible to surgically remove them while leaving the uterus in place. This procedure is called myomectomy.

- Laparoscopic SurgeryA number of the physicians at GYN OB Associates are trained in advanced and Laparoscopic surgery and can advise you on the best course of treatment for your condition. Laparoscopic surgery has a shorter recovery time than abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy.
- LesionsThis tissue develops into lesions that respond to the menstrual cycle in the same way that the tissue of the uterine lining does: each month it builds up, breaks down, and sheds. While menstrual blood flows from the uterus and out of the body through the vagina, the blood and tissue shed from endometrial growths has no way of exiting the body. This results in internal bleeding, breakdown of the blood and tissue from the lesions, and inflammation.
