What is gynecology?

People who were assigned female at birth have unique health needs at each stage of life. Gynecology is medical care for women before, during and after their reproductive years. Gynecology care at Catalyst Medical Group meets those needs with sensitivity and compassion.

What does gynecology care include?

Gynecology is an extremely broad category because it covers nearly all of your reproductive and post-reproductive health needs. A few of the gynecology services available at Catalyst Medical Group include:

Women’s wellness exams

Women’s wellness exams are for women of and after reproductive age. The team of providers customize exams for each patient to meet the varied needs of adolescents and adults. Every woman should have a yearly wellness exam, even if you’ve had a hysterectomy.

Pap smears

Pap smears check for cervical cancer. The team also performs procedures like colposcopy and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) after abnormal Pap smears in the office.  

Contraception services

Contraception services give women the birth control they want to control reproduction for themselves. You can choose from birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and many other options. 

Pregnancy planning is also available to ensure that you transition off of birth control safely before you start trying to conceive.

Treatment of women’s health problems

Women can experience wide-ranging issues such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, endometriosis, fibroids, menopause symptoms, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, and urinary incontinence.

Your OBGYN team provides diagnosis, treatment, and customized care, including in-office procedures like endometrial ablation and hysteroscopies. 

In addition to their extensive gynecology services, all of the OBGYN team except Dr Geneen bigsby, offers obstetrical services for expecting mothers, including routine care, midwifery, high-risk pregnancy care, vaginal births after a C-section and vaginal or C-section delivery.

How often should I schedule gynecology appointments?
