El Dorado Obstetrics and Gynecology provides several in office procedures, thus avoiding the need for hospitalization, saving patients both time and money.
IN OFFICE GYNECOLOGY PROCEDURES
Colposcopy: A colposcopy may be needed when a pap test shows abnormal results. This procedure takes place so your OB-GYN can more closely examine your cervix, vagina and vulva.
Hysteroscopy (Endosee): A hysteroscopy is another simple procedure we do in-office. During the hysteroscopy, your OB-GYN will use a camera to look inside the uterus to diagnose any obvious uterine abnormalities.
IUD Insertion and Removal: An IUD, intrauterine device, is a device that is used as a form of long-term birth control and is inserted by a physician. It’s a great birth control option for those women who are not interested in permanent birth control. This device is easily inserted or removed by your physician during an office visit. We offer two options of IUDs: Kyleena and Lyletta. Once you meet with your physician you can discuss which will be the best option for you.
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP): This procedure uses a thin electrified wire hook to cut out and extract abnormal tissues in the cervix. It is done after abnormal Pap test results that have been confirmed by a cervical biopsy and to treat cell changes in the cervix.
Pessary Fitting/Insertion: A pessary is a low-risk and effective treatment option for women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse. We are able to custom fit and insert the pessary in-office so you can start feeling better, sooner.
Vulvar Biopsy: A biopsy is done on the vulvar to diagnose lesions. It is a safe and simple procedure conducted in the comfort of our office.
