Common Gynecological Problems & Procedures
Women's Health Care of New England • October 1, 2019
Did you know that most abnormal menstrual bleeding problems are caused by an imbalance in hormones? Or those women who have abnormal Pap smears have a very small chance of developing cervical cancer from those abnormal cells?
At Women’s Health Connecticut, our physicians, clinicians have a great deal of experience handling women’s health procedures and gynecologic concerns with expert, compassionate care.
The best place to get answers or information about your own health is always your doctor or nurse practitioner. The most common topics and concerns that women have regarding their gynecologic health include:
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding, diagnosis and treatment
- Endometriosis
- Abnormal Pap smear and follow up
ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
This term is a catchall for problems associated with vaginal bleeding. This may be related to the menstrual cycle, but at times abnormal bleeding may occur before the onset of menses, during pregnancy and after menopause.
Overwhelmingly, bleeding problems are caused by an imbalance in the hormones that control the menstrual cycle and are referred to as “dysfunctional uterine bleeding.” When vaginal bleeding is not related to the menstrual cycle, it is of increased concern. This is especially true when it occurs in childhood before menstruation has begun, during pregnancy, and at midlife, after a woman has entered menopause.
WHEN TO CALL YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
- Periods less than 21 days apart or more than 45 days apart
- Severe abdominal or pelvic pain occurs during menstruation or sexual intercourse
- Menstrual bleeding is excessive (more than one pad or tampon per hour for several hours)
- Menstrual periods lasting longer than 7 days
- Bleeding or spotting between periods

Women’s Healthcare of New England is seeing patients and actively screening each patient to ensure they do not expose our office or patient community to any illness. If you have a medical emergency, please do not show up at our office or at the hospital, but instead call ahead and find out the recommended course of action. Following appropriate guidelines and practicing proper technique will benefit both patients and clinicians and better prevent the further spread of the COVID-19 virus. The most important thing to do is to remain calm and think clearly. Key guidelines to stay safe: • Wear a mask • Limit your interactions, and keep a 6 foot distance from others. • Wash your hands (for at least 20 seconds) often throughout the day • Don’t touch your face • Keep surfaces clean These steps will help to reduce the spread of the virus and hopefully prevent further exposure in uninfected individuals. On a larger scale, the government’s response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is constantly evolving, we recommend that you stay up-to-date on information from verified sources.
