Gynecologic health includes your sexual health and wellness. It is not just about physical health but also mental and emotional wellness, healthy relationships and making the right choices for you.
No matter your age, you should feel in control of your body and your relationships. From protecting yourself to choosing if or when to get pregnant, you will have access to compassionate and supportive medical care with Baylor Scott & White.
Your women’s health provider can support you in all aspects of female sexual health and will not judge your decisions. Your provider will listen to your preferences and goals to find the best solution or treatment for you.
You may want to get pregnant later in life, or you may choose not to have children. Your women’s health provider can discuss options for planning your family, whether you are looking for birth control or egg preservation. Our providers work with families of all types interested in surrogacy, insemination and other alternatives for having children.
Both women and men can experience infertility, and the causes can range from medical conditions and age to physical abnormalities. Infertility can be challenging, but with the help and support of a dedicated fertility specialist, couples can find the right treatment and gain hope for having the family they want.
Sex should be safe, pleasurable and consenting, without coercion or violence. Unfortunately, more than half of women in the United States experience sexual violence during their lifetime, and these incidents can have a lasting impact on a woman’s health and well-being.
If you are worried about your safety or in an abusive relationship, the first step is talking to someone you trust. You can contact many organizations, such as the National Domestic Violence Helpline (1.800.799.7233). Your healthcare provider can also connect you with helpful resources.
