Gynecology

A woman's body is complex, and much of the complexity lies in her reproductive tract.

At Loyola Women's Health Services, our attentive and expert physicians will help you stay healthy throughout your reproductive years and beyond. From screening for sexually transmitted diseases to help with menopause, Loyola's physicians keep careful watch. See our checklists...

Then, if serious difficulties arise, they draw on Loyola's extraordinary resources, including cutting-edge technology and knowledge gained from clinical trials.

Some of our gynecological services:

• Treatment for endometriosis: When fragments of the endometrium (or lining of the uterus) develop in places such as the ovaries or intestine, the resulting condition is called endometriosis and it can be a complex problem to solve. With a full range of sophisticated tools in hand and significant expertise, Loyola's physicians offer top-notch diagnosis and treatment of this painful condition. 

• Treatment for female cancers: Loyola's cancer care is nationally recognized and for good reason. In all areas of gynecologic oncology, you will find state-of-the-art medicine. More about gynecological oncology.
  
  
• Treatment for incontinence: Loyola's experts in urogynecology (doctors with combined expertise in urology and gynecology) provide the most advanced care available for women with problems with incontinence, difficulty urinating and other issues related to the muscles, ligaments and nerves that support and help control the vagina, uterus, bladder and rectum. More about urogynecology.
  
  
• Help with menopause: Hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings: the symptoms of menopause can be uncomfortable. There are multiple treatments options that your physician can help you choose from. Working closely with you, your Loyola doctor can help you weigh risks and benefits and help you decide on the best solution for you.
  

• Treatment for osteoporosis: A gradual, progressive loss of bone density, osteoporosis strikes primarily women in the post menopausal years. At Loyola, the Osteoporosis & Metabolic Bone Disease Center provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis.
