Prenatal Care
The doctors and midwives at Westside Women’s Care can help you plan the experience you want for your delivery. Creating a comfortable and relaxing environment that is less surgical/clinical is our focus. Also known as a “gentle C-section” we provide for delayed cord-clamping when possible, skin-to-skin contact between mom and baby where you will be able to hold, touch, and comfort your newborn. You can choose your own music that is special to you and your family. Once your baby has been checked by our pediatric nursing staff, you can breastfeed when your baby is ready.
Ultrasound
Westside Women’s Care offers an array of obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound services provided on site for your convenience. Our sonographers are ARDMS, board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology. All of our equipment is state of the art, providing immediate results to our providers that can be discussed with you and your family.
Do you suffer from heavy bleeding?
Does your menstrual cycle seem abnormally long or heavy? Are you afraid of leaking through a pad or tampon? Have you been diagnosed with anemia from blood loss? If so, you may have menorrhagia (pronounced: men-o-rahj-ah).
Menorrhagia is defined as unusually heavy or long-lasting menstrual periods. It occurs in 1 out of every 5 women. If you believe that you might have excessive menstrual bleeding, speak with a doctor after exploring this site to learn more about your treatment options for heavy periods.
Da Vinci Robotic Surgery
When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, cervical and uterine cancer, uterine prolapse and heavy or excessive menstrual bleeding.
With da Vinci Surgery, small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Seated comfortably at the da Vinci console, your surgeon views a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site.
At the same time, state-of-the-art robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly translate your surgeon’s hand movements into precise micro-movements of the da Vinci instruments. For more information on this topic, please visit www.davincisurgery.com
Novasure procedure
The NovaSure procedure is a quick, safe, simple, one-time endometrial ablation treatment. This minimally invasive procedure controls heavy bleeding by using energy to remove the lining of the uterus. The average treatment time is about 90 seconds and only needs to be performed once to lighten or stop your periods. No pretreatment drugs are required and NovaSure can be performed in the hospital or in your doctor’s office.
Without the side effects of hormones or the risks of hysterectomy, NovaSure has a quick recovery time so you can get back to your life sooner. Most women experience no pain after the procedure, and can return to work and regular activities the next day. More information can be found at www.novasure.com
Birth Control Options
Whether used for contraception or not, many women benefit from using hormones to prevent pregnancy, improve heavy menstrual cycles, minimize pain with their periods, or even improve acne. Other women prefer to use a birth control that is hormone-free. Sometimes, the options can be overwhelming and it is hard to know what is right for you. Through discussions with your provider, you can decide if a shorter term option such as condoms, Phexxi (contraceptive gel), pills, a patch, or the vaginal ring will be best, or if instead an intrauterine device (IUD) or Nexplanon are more fit for your current needs.
Below are websites that focus on helping people choose the right birth control method to fit into their lifestyle.
