Women's Health AT ADAMS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, WE ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING WOMEN LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES. WE OFFER A RANGE OF COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES, WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT GROUPS DESIGNED TO MEET YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS AT EVERY STAGE OF LIFE. HOME | SERVICES | WOMEN’S HEALTH From pregnancy to menopause, every stage of a woman’s life is unique and different, and each requires individualized health care. Women often put others’ needs before their own, but it is important for them to invest in their health and well-being with regular primary care visits and appointments with their OB-GYN and any necessary specialists. Do it for yourself and for those you care for. We provide full-spectrum OB-GYN services with compassion and excellence. Adams’ Women’s Health specialists provide general gynecology services that include well-woman visits, birth control counseling and prescriptions, STD testing and standard screenings such as PAP smears and breast exams. Support for every stage of a woman’s life is available. This includes infertility evaluation, pregnancy care and menopause support. Women with unusual symptoms, such as pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding, are evaluated and may receive an in-house ultrasound for further review. If there’s an issue that requires surgery, such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids, our doctors offer the latest surgical techniques. Commonly Treated GYN Conditions Abnormal bleeding Bone care Breast health, including mammography Comprehensive maternity care Gynecological care and surgery Menopause and perimenopause Polycystic ovarian syndrome Pelvic floor conditions Vaginal atrophy Women’s Health Services: Annual checkups Mammograms or bone density screens Prenatal care Postnatal care GYN surgery GYN illness or cancer Health and wellness solutions Mammogram A woman’s chance of developing breast cancer is one in eight across her lifetime. Early detection of breast cancer with 3D mammography and/or breast ultrasound means that treatment can be started earlier. The Genius 3D Mammography allows doctors to examine breast tissue layer by layer, allowing fine details to be more visible. At Adams, we also provide prevention and education to provide the best possible care. Please call 260-724-2145, ext. 11047, to schedule. Bone Density Testing During a bone density exam with DXA, patients recline comfortably on a padded table while the DXA system scans two or more areas, usually the fracture prone hip and spine. Unlike typical X-ray machines, radiation exposure during bone density exams is extremely low. The entire process takes only minutes to complete, and it involves no injections or invasive procedures. Please call 260-724-2145, ext. 11047, to schedule. Adams Health is Here for You & Your Baby When a new baby is arriving soon, it’s nice to know that the Adams Family Birthing Center is here for you.
