What Is A Colposcopy?
Because the Pap smear can only screen for potential problems, not diagnose them, your gynecologist may want to take a closer look at your cervix to determine the cause of your abnormal Pap smear results. He will perform an examination called a colposcopy. Your doctor may order this procedure if you have abnormal Pap smear results.

Chronic Pelvic Pain
Sooner or later, as women, most of us experience some degree of pelvic pain. How we respond to pelvic pain varies; some women are more bothered by pain than others. If pelvic pain is severe enough to disrupt your daily life for either a few days a month or for longer amounts of time, if pelvic pain increases overtime, or if you have experienced a recent increase in pain, you should talk with your health care provider to determine the cause.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Most women experience abnormal uterine bleeding at least once during their reproductive years. The most common times that women experience heavy menstrual periods are during the first few years of menstruation during adolescence and during the final two to three years of menstruating before menopause.

From Tracee Cornforth, your Guide to Women's Health
Welcome to this week's Women's Health newsletter. This week we're talking about common surgical procedures that women experience. Have a healthy week! Tracee

Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in procedures such as tubal ligation, gallbladder removal or hiatal hernia repair. It is normally performed in the outpatient surgery unit of a hospital. In most cases, patients can return home a few hours after a laproscopic procedure.

What To Know Before You Have A Hysterectomy
Are you facing a hysterectomy? Learn the facts about hysterectomy and alternatives before you decide whether hysterectomy is the right choice for you. It is critical to understand when hysterectomy is elective surgery and when it is necessary to save your life. Although hysterectomy may provide relief from your condition, it's important to explore all alternatives before you choose hysterectomy.

Tubal Ligation Vs Vasectomy
Many times when couples decide they don't want more children, or that children are not a part of their future, they decide that one of them will undergo permanent surgical sterilization. Permanent sterilization is the most effective method of contraception. Although tubal ligation and vasectomy can sometimes be reversed, both procedures should be considered a permanent end to your ability to have children.

Is Weight Loss Surgery Right For You?
Thousands of women and men are undergoing weight loss surgery annually in the U.S., and throughout the world. You can't help but notice the growing popularity of weight loss surgery. We see it everywhere. We've watched television and entertainment personalities from singer Carnie Wilson to recording star and American Idol judge Randy Jackson lose weight after gastric bypass surgery.
