A gynecologist specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the female reproductive system. They also offer routine and preventive care, including screenings for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and breast exams to promote overall reproductive health.
Regular visits to a gynecologist are an important part of maintaining a woman's health at all points in her life. Whether you're a teenager experiencing puberty, an adult focused on reproductive health, or an older woman entering menopause, a gynecologist plays a critical role in your overall well-being.
Here at Yorktown Health in Lombard, Illinois, we have your gynecological health covered. In addition to offering comprehensive primary care for men and women, we also have a team of skilled, board-certified OB/GYNs to support female health.
Here’s why every woman needs a trusted gynecologist.
One of the most important roles of a gynecologist is providing preventive care. Regular screenings, such as Pap smears, pelvic exams, and breast exams, can detect issues like cervical cancer, STDs, and breast abnormalities early on, when they are most treatable.
Early detection saves lives, and having a dedicated gynecologist ensures these essential health checks are a regular part of your health routine.
Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, managing menstrual issues, or considering birth control options, a gynecologist is the provider you need.
Our OB/GYN team guides you through family planning, helps you learn how to regulate menstrual cycles, and recommends the best birth control methods based on your health and lifestyle.
If you’re experiencing infertility, we offer testing, treatments, and referrals to specialists if needed.
As you age, menopause — the end of fertility — brings significant changes to your body. Our gynecologists help manage the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and bone density loss.
We also provide support for the long-term health risks associated with menopause, including heart disease and osteoporosis.
When you have a regular gynecologist, they can offer personalized care during this important transition because they know your personal medical history.
A gynecologist is a trusted provider who can help when you have questions about your sexual health. Whether you have concerns about pain during intercourse, low libido, or questions about STDs, we offer compassionate care and expert advice.
We help women of all ages feel empowered to discuss their sexual health without embarrassment or stigma.
One way to promote your sexual health is through vaginal revitalization, which provides relief from thinning skin, dryness, and painful intercourse.
A gynecologist doesn’t just focus on reproductive health; they also provide holistic care that addresses other health concerns specific to women. This includes urinary incontinence, pelvic floor problems, and managing conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis.
At Yorktown Health, we have a team of primary care physicians and gynecologists who work together to ensure your health is managed comprehensively.
Having a gynecologist you trust is an essential part of staying healthy and feeling empowered in your healthcare decisions.
