Gynecology

From preventive screenings to advanced gynecological surgeries, Aurora BayCare Medical Center offers expert gynecology services near you in the Green Bay area.

What do you see a gynecologist for?

Gynecology is a women’s health specialty focusing on the female reproductive system. This system includes a number of reproductive structures and female organs, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and breasts.

Gynecologists oversee all aspects of sexual health in women – from menstruation to family planning to preventive cancer screenings such as Pap smears and mammograms. And depending on your symptoms, gynecologists can also treat related conditions involving your urethra, bladder, and rectum, such as urinary tract infections.

Our goal is to help women stay healthy at every age. Gynecologists recommend most girls begin routine care in their early teens – starting at 13 to 15 years old, when they’ve typically gone through puberty.

What is the difference between a gynecologist and an OB-GYN?

In addition to women’s health care, some gynecologists also practice obstetrics (pregnancy and childbirth care). Providers who do both are known as OB-GYNs.

Conditions our gynecologists treat

On top of routine physical exams and screenings, our specialized team treats a wide range of gynecological conditions. You should see a gynecologist if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms or conditions:

• Bladder or bowel incontinence
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
