The Nexplanon® implant and intrauterine devices (IUDs) are two of the top birth control choices because they’re:
The team at May-Grant Obstetrics & Gynecology perform in-office procedures to insert an IUD into your uterus or to implant the small, rod-shaped Nexplanon device under your skin.
A Pap smear consists of a sample of cells taken from your cervix that’s examined under a microscope. If cells are identified that could be precancerous or cancerous, the next step is an in-office procedure called a colposcopy.
During this procedure, a colposcope provides a magnified view of your vagina and cervix. After a visual examination to identify abnormal cells, your clinician takes a biopsy or may need to remove the cells using a loop electrosurgical excision procedure, or LEEP. The tissues are then sent to the lab to verify whether they’re cancerous.
Endometrial ablation is a procedure used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. The team at May-Grant Obstetrics & Gynecology performs in-office endometrial ablations using the cutting-edge Minerva procedure. Or, in the hospital, we continue to use the excellent NovaSure system.
The Minerva system uses a thin wand with a soft silicone tip with a membrane that contains plasma that heats your uterine tissue. In under two minutes, the plasma heat will remove the top layer of the uterine endometrium, greatly reducing or eliminating your period. To learn more, please go to their website: www.aubandme.com
For the Novasure procedure, your clinician inserts the thin, NovaSure wand into your uterus, and then the wand sends out gentle radiofrequency energy that heats the uterine lining. The heat stimulates a natural healing process that changes the uterus. As a result, 77.7% of patients experience a dramatic decline in heavy menstrual bleeding.
The experienced staff at May-Grant Obstetrics & Gynecology perform numerous in-office diagnostic procedures. These are just two examples.
When you need an in-office procedure, you don’t need to travel to another facility — you can get the care you need at May-Grant Obstetrics & Gynecology. To schedule an appointment, use online booking or call the office.
