Teen Health: Laying the Foundation for Lifelong Wellness

Specialized Care for Teenagers

At InVogue Total Women’s Healthcare, we provide tailored gynecology services specifically for teenagers, focusing on education, preventative care, and overall wellness. These visits offer a safe and supportive environment where teens can learn about their reproductive health and receive professional guidance on managing any concerns.

Understanding Menstrual Cycles

A key component of teen gynecological care is helping young women understand their menstrual cycles. Our providers discuss topics such as cycle regularity, managing cramps, and addressing common concerns like heavy or irregular periods. This knowledge empowers teens to recognize what’s normal and when to seek further care.

Developing Healthy Habits

Establishing healthy habits during adolescence sets the stage for a lifetime of wellness. Routine gynecological visits teach teens the importance of preventative care, including regular checkups and open communication with healthcare providers. These habits promote confidence and proactive health management as they transition into adulthood.

Early Intervention for Potential Issues

Gynecological care during the teenage years allows for the early identification and treatment of potential concerns, such as hormonal imbalances or menstrual disorders. Detecting and addressing issues early can prevent complications later in life and support teens in achieving optimal reproductive health. Our goal is to ensure every young woman feels informed, confident, and in control of her well-being.

Women’s Wellness Exams

Women’s wellness exams are yearly examinations that take a preventative approach to women’s healthcare. These exams typically include a breast exam, pap smear, and physical examination and also give women the space to ask questions or discuss any additional gynecology concerns. We offer women’s wellness exams to meet the needs of women of all ages.

These exams can help women feel more confident in their health and detect the early signs of abnormalities or medical conditions so they can be treated before symptoms worsen.

Breast Exams

Breast exams focus on early detection of lumps or abnormalities that could indicate breast cancer. These screenings are quick, non-invasive, and essential for identifying issues before symptoms develop. Our providers also educate patients about self-examinations, helping them stay vigilant about their breast health.

Pap Smears 

Pap smears test for cervical cancer and detect cellular changes that may pose future risks. The procedure is simple, minimally invasive, and vital for early intervention and treatment. Regular testing significantly reduces the risk of advanced complications by catching abnormalities early.

Physical Exams 

A physical exam evaluates your overall health, including weight, blood pressure, and general wellness. This is an opportunity to discuss your reproductive health, menstrual cycles, or any symptoms you may be experiencing. It’s also a time to address any questions you have.

Pap Smears and Cervical Cancer Screening

Early Detection of Cervical Cancer

We offer pap smears that test for cervical cancer in women. These tests are preventative and prescriptive, as they test for cancer and changes in the cervix cells that may indicate potential cancer at a future time.

Early detection offers the best chance for successful treatment and can be life-saving.

When to Begin Screening

Women should start scheduling pap smears at age 21 and continue with regular screenings as recommended by their gynecologist. Routine testing ensures optimal cervical health and peace of mind.

What to Expect During a Pap Smear

During the treatment, the gynecologist will collect cells from the cervix, and that sample will undergo testing to detect any abnormalities. The treatment is quick and only takes a few minutes to complete, but it can provide more insight into your health and potential risk of cervical cancer.

Why Regular Screenings Matter

Regular pap smears are essential for monitoring your cervical health, identifying potential issues early, and addressing any concerns that arise promptly.

Colposcopy: Advanced Cervical Evaluation

When pap smear results indicate abnormalities, a colposcopy may be recommended. This advanced procedure uses specialized stains and a magnifying instrument to identify abnormal cells in the cervix, vagina, or labia. While often used as a follow-up to abnormal pap results, colposcopies can also be performed to investigate unexplained symptoms. The procedure is virtually painless and provides critical information for guiding further care.

Vaginal Rejuvenation for Improved Health and Confidence

Life events such as aging, multiple pregnancies, childbirth, and hormonal changes can impact your vaginal health and contribute to vaginal atrophy or skin laxity. These changes can affect your appearance, functionality, and overall quality of life. Our range of non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments restores confidence and comfort while promoting sexual wellness.

Our vaginal rejuvenation options include:

• Empower RF: A system that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and tone the vaginal and pelvic tissues, addressing issues like laxity and mild incontinence.
• VTone: A treatment designed to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control using gentle electrical muscle stimulation.
• FormaV: A versatile, non-invasive treatment that uses thermal energy to enhance vaginal tissue health, improving elasticity and natural lubrication.
• Morpheus8V: A device combining radiofrequency and microneedling to address both surface and deep tissue concerns for enhanced vaginal rejuvenation.
• The O-Shot: A platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection that boosts sensitivity, enhances sexual wellness, and helps with tissue regeneration.
• MonaLisa Touch®: A laser-based therapy that restores vaginal health by stimulating collagen production to alleviate dryness, irritation, and laxity.
• Vitalia: A gentle, energy-based treatment that promotes tissue regeneration, improving both function and appearance for a more youthful feel.
• Aviva Labiaplasty: A minimally invasive procedure designed to contour and refine the labial tissues, enhancing comfort and confidence.

These treatments use innovative technologies to address concerns such as laxity, dryness, and incontinence, helping women regain control and confidence.

Managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that impacts many women, leading to symptoms such as irregular or absent periods, weight gain, acne, and even difficulty with fertility.

At InVogue Total Women’s Healthcare, we take a personalized approach to managing PCOS, ensuring each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs. By combining medication, lifestyle changes, and hormonal therapies, we aim to alleviate your symptoms, regulate your menstrual cycle, and reduce the long-term health risks associated with PCOS, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Our compassionate care focuses on empowering women to achieve balance and improve their overall well-being.

Treating Heavy Menstruation

Heavy menstrual bleeding, or menorrhagia, is a condition characterized by abnormally heavy or prolonged periods that can interfere with daily life and well-being. At InVogue Total Women’s Healthcare, we provide compassionate care and advanced solutions to address this common concern.

What Is Heavy Bleeding?

Heavy bleeding involves excessive blood flow, the passing of large blood clots, or periods lasting longer than usual. This condition can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and disruption of normal activities.

What Causes Heavy Bleeding?

Menorrhagia can result from various factors, including:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Disruptions in estrogen and progesterone levels can lead to irregular or heavy bleeding.
• Uterine Fibroids or Polyps: Benign growths in the uterus can cause increased bleeding.
• Adenomyosis: The thickening of the uterine wall may contribute to heavy periods.
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Infection in the reproductive organs can exacerbate menstrual flow.
• Certain Medications or Bleeding Disorders: Medications like blood thinners or conditions such as Von Willebrand disease may cause or worsen heavy bleeding.

A thorough evaluation helps us identify the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

Can Birth Control Help with Heavy Bleeding?

Yes, certain types of birth control can regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce heavy bleeding. Options include:

• Combination Birth Control Pills: Help balance hormones and lighten periods.
• Hormonal IUDs: Reduce menstrual flow and alleviate symptoms by releasing progestin directly into the uterus.

Your gynecologist will work with you to determine the best contraceptive option tailored to your needs.

Can Heavy Bleeding Be a Sign of a More Serious Condition?

In some cases, heavy bleeding may indicate an underlying health issue, such as:

• Endometriosis
• Uterine fibroids or cancer
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Seeking medical evaluation is essential to rule out serious conditions, address the root cause, and receive personalized treatment. By combining expert care with advanced treatments like Minerva ES®, hysteroscopy, or D&C, we aim to provide relief and improve your quality of life.

Minerva ES®

Minerva ES® is a device designed to treat the root cause of heavy uterine bleeding. It’s an endometrial ablation system that uses PlasmaSense™ technology to reduce or prevent menstrual bleeding.

The device uses specialized technology to remove the lining of the uterus with a unique ablation cycle. This treatment can meet the needs of pre-menopausal women who experience excessive menstrual bleeding, who no longer plan on having children, and who want to treat this symptom to improve their quality of life.

Hysteroscopy: Advanced Uterine Examination

A hysteroscopy allows us to examine the inside of the uterus using a hysteroscope—a device equipped with a camera and light. This minimally invasive procedure is instrumental in diagnosing and addressing issues such as heavy bleeding, fibroids, and pain.

Dilation and Curettage (D&C)

Dilation and Curettage, commonly referred to as D&C, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove tissue from the uterus for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. This versatile procedure is widely used to address various gynecological concerns and support a healthier reproductive system.

Common Applications of D&C

D&C is recommended for multiple purposes, including:

• Managing Heavy Bleeding: By removing the uterine lining, D&C can alleviate excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding, improving overall comfort and health.
• Clearing Residual Tissue: Following childbirth, miscarriage, or abortion, D&C ensures that no remaining tissue causes infection or complications.
• Removing Benign Growths: Safely addresses polyps, fibroids, or other non-cancerous growths that can lead to discomfort or irregular bleeding.
• Assessing Uterine Health: Provides tissue samples for diagnosing conditions like endometrial hyperplasia or uterine cancer.

Enhanced Precision With Hysteroscopy

D&C is frequently paired with hysteroscopy, a procedure that uses a camera to visualize the uterus. This combination allows for real-time viewing, improving diagnostic accuracy and ensuring targeted areas are effectively treated. The paired approach reduces risks and enhances outcomes for patients.

Benefits of D&C

• Quick and Efficient: The procedure is typically completed within 30 minutes, with a short recovery period allowing most patients to resume normal activities quickly.
• Versatile Treatment: Addresses a wide range of gynecological issues, from abnormal bleeding to post-pregnancy complications.
• Minimally Invasive: With advanced techniques, D&C is a safe and effective solution for managing uterine health.

Comprehensive Birth Control Options

At InVogue Total Women’s Healthcare, we understand that choosing the right birth control is an essential aspect of reproductive health and family planning.

Birth control comes in many forms, including pills, patches, implantable devices, and more. Because we have several different options, women who are interested in beginning a birth control treatment plan will need to schedule an appointment so that we can learn more about their medical history, lifestyle, and preferences. We can discuss the advantages of each type of birth control and help you decide which is right for you and your lifestyle.

Whether you’re seeking short-term solutions or long-term protection, our gynecologists work closely with you to find the safest and most effective method based on your medical history and preferences.

Oral Contraceptives

Oral contraceptives, commonly known as birth control pills, offer a convenient and effective method to prevent pregnancy. They also provide additional benefits, such as regulating menstrual cycles, reducing acne, and alleviating symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Patches and Rings

Patches and vaginal rings are hormone-based options that provide consistent contraception without the need for daily pills. These methods are easy to use and allow for monthly or weekly management, depending on your choice.

IUDs: Long-Term Birth Control Solutions

IUDs, or intrauterine devices, are small, T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus to provide long-term protection against pregnancy. We offer a variety of IUD options, including hormonal and non-hormonal types, to suit individual needs and preferences. This type of birth control offers:

• Longevity: Depending on the type, IUDs can remain effective for three to 10 years, offering a low-maintenance, reliable solution.
• Reversible: IUDs are easily removable when you decide to pursue pregnancy, making them a versatile choice for women at any stage of life.
• Additional Benefits: Hormonal IUDs can help reduce heavy bleeding and alleviate symptoms of endometriosis, while non-hormonal options provide effective contraception without altering your hormonal balance.

NEXPLANON®: Implantable Birth Control

For women seeking longer-term solutions without daily or monthly maintenance, implantable devices such as NEXPLANON® provide reliable contraception for years. NEXPLANON® is a small, flexible rod inserted into the upper arm that releases hormones to prevent ovulation. The benefits include:

• Long-Term Effectiveness: NEXPLANON® offers protection for up to three years, making it an excellent option for women seeking a discreet and low-maintenance method.
• Convenience: Once placed, NEXPLANON® requires no daily attention, providing worry-free contraception.
• Professional Guidance: Our gynecologists ensure accurate placement and provide thorough instructions on managing any potential side effects.

Choosing the right birth control is a deeply personal decision. Our team is committed to providing guidance and education so you feel empowered and confident in your choice. Whether you need a short-term method or a reversible long-term solution, InVogue Total Women’s Healthcare offers compassionate care to support your reproductive health journey.

Incontinence Treatments for Restored Confidence

We offer vaginal rejuvenation treatments that double as incontinence treatments. There are three primary types of incontinence: stress, urge, and mixed. Regardless of which type of incontinence you’re dealing with, we can design a treatment plan with one or more of our vaginal rejuvenation devices to address incontinence at the source and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

Incontinence typically results from weak pelvic floor muscles, and urinary leakage results without adequate support from the pelvic floor. A customized incontinence treatment plan can eliminate these symptoms and restore your quality of life.
