Duke Women's Health Associates Brier Creek (2023)

As your gynecologists, we offer a full range of gynecological care -- from annual return visits to diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the female reproductive system -- throughout your childbearing years and beyond.

Your routine gynecological care may include:

• A physical exam
• Annual screenings, including a breast exam, Pap test, and HPV test to screen forcervical cancer
• Birth control counseling (placement of any contraceptive implants, such as IUDs, occurs at a follow-up visit)
• Sexually transmitted disease screenings (as appropriate)

We diagnose and treat women who experience abnormal uterine bleeding,fibroids,endometriosis, uterine abnormalities,ovarian cysts, urinary tract infections, and symptoms of menopause.

If abnormal cells are identified through your Pap test, we may recommend you undergo one of the following procedures in our office:

• Colposcopy. Examines your cervix, vagina, or vulva for precancerous changes.
• LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure). Removes abnormal cervical cells.

If you experience abnormal bleeding, we may perform:

• Hysteroscopy to diagnose and treat the causes of abnormal bleeding
