Treating your condition and its symptoms first requires an accurate and precise diagnosis of your health problem. At Flint ObGyn we pride ourselves on offering the latest, most advanced diagnostic procedures in women’s healthcare.
Our ObGyns utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment right here in our Flint OBGYN office. This enables our patients to obtain their diagnosis and treatment rapidly, in one convenient location. There’s no more “waiting for results” and you don’t have to schedule separate appointments at hospitals or diagnostic facilities.
In fact, many other doctors send their female patients to the specialists at Flint ObGyn, when they are unable to obtain a diagnosis themselves. This is because we are renowned across Genesee County as the most highly qualified women’s healthcare providers, with the most advanced technologies to help diagnose, treat and manage women’s health issues at every stage of life.
IN OFFICE PROCEDURES
Hysteroscopy &
Endometrial Ablation
With a minimally invasive hysteroscopy, no incisions are made. As a result, there is less blood loss, less scarring, and less postoperative pain. The recovery time is significantly shorter than after traditional surgery. We also now offer endometrial ablations in the office. Endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure to destroy a woman’s endometrium in order to eliminate or minimize excessively heavy periods. Thin surgical instruments are inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. After this procedure, half of the patients have no monthly bleeding at all and the other half bleed only minimally. This procedure does not remove the uterus, nor are the ovaries affected. Therefore, patients do NOT need to take hormones after endometrial ablation.
Colposcopy &
Hysteroscopy
If you received abnormal pap smear results, or you are dealing with problematic uterine bleeding or bleeding after menopause, we offer state-of-the-art in-office diagnostic procedures including state-of-the-art DYSIS colposcopy. At Flint ObGyn we perform both DYSIS colposcopy and hysteroscopy in-house, so you can be diagnosed and treated in the same convenient location.
Colposcopy and hysteroscopy can be used to identify uterine adhesions, polyps, and fibroids, as well as to find and remove IUDs that have become displaced. We can also use these advanced diagnostic procedures to diagnose the causes of infertility or repeated miscarriages.
And, in cases where the colposcopy or hysteroscopy identifies small adhesions or fibroids, they can often be removed right then during the procedure – which eliminates the need for another procedure or open abdominal surgery with anesthesia.
