Abnormal bleeding is bleeding different from a woman’s normal menstrual cycle. This includes but is not limited to, spotting between periods, unusually heavy or light flow, and longer or shorter periods.

Abnormal pap smears mean that cells in the cervix look unusual. This can be caused by yeast or bacterial infections, sexually transmitted infections, inflammation, hormonal changes, pre-cancerous or cancerous cells.

Bladder incontinence is loss of bladder control. The loss of bladder control can be mild or severe. Mild cases may involve some leakage as you cough or sneeze. More severe cases make it impossible to get to a bathroom in time when you have the urge to urinate.

Prolapsed bladder is a condition where the wall of the vagina, which supports the bladder, can weaken, causing the bladder to prolapse or bulge into the vagina. There are four stages of a prolapsed bladder: 1, mild, up to 4, severe. Only a diagnosis from a doctor can determine how severe the prolapse is and a proper treatment plan.

An ovarian mass is a growth on the ovaries. Often, these are benign, but some can become cancerous, so it is important to examine and treat ovarian masses properly.

An overactive bladder may cause a frequent need to void, urgency and urge incontinence (sometimes called bladder incontinence).

A pelvic mass describes any benign or malignant growth of tissue in the lower abdomen or pelvis. Treatment depends on the nature of the mass; some will resolve over time, and some will require surgical removal.

Pelvic pain often stems from a range of issues affecting organs such as the ovaries, uterus, bladder and rectum. These issues can impact your well-being in various ways, but you can greatly benefit from the proper treatment.

Rectal incontinence or bowel incontinence is the inability to control bowel movements. The rectum can become weakened and unable to hold the feces in place. This can be an embarrassing condition, but it is usually not serious in nature.

Uterine prolapse describes the falling or sliding of the uterus from its normal position in the pelvic cavity into the vaginal canal.
