Tidewater Physicians for Women: The Best Gynecologist On Your Service

While the fields of obstetrics and gynecology are intertwined into an inclusive service, obstetrics focuses on pregnancy, while gynecology deals with the health of women’s reproductive organs throughout their lifetime.

The team at Tidewater Physicians for Women provides the full range of gynecological care including:

• Heavy periods or abnormal bleeding: Come in for an exam if your periods last longer than seven days or your flow is heavy. Most abnormal menstrual bleeding is easily treated, but it  can be a sign of a serious problem.
• Pelvic pain: Whether you have daily pelvic pain, or it comes and goes, it’s important to find the cause of the pain for relief and prevention of future complications. Two common causes of pelvic pain are uterine fibroids and endometriosis, which can cause scarring and difficulty getting pregnant.
• Abnormal vaginal discharge: When yeast that normally live in your vagina get out of balance, you’ll experience an abnormal vaginal discharge, along with itching, and burning. The same symptoms can also be signs of a bacterial infection or a sexually transmitted disease, so it’s important to get evaluated by your doctor at Tidewater Physicians for Women.
