What is gynecology?
Gynecology is the specialized branch of medicine that focuses on a woman’s sexual, reproductive, and pelvic organ health. The OB/GYNs at Poplar Avenue Clinic are experienced in preventing, evaluating, treating, and managing health issues that affect women.
Anyone with female organs should see a gynecologist. These organs include the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, breasts, and cervix.
Some reasons you might seek gynecological care include:
- You’re due for an annual pelvic exam
- You have concerns about your period
- You think you might have a sexually transmitted disease
- You’re experiencing an unusual vaginal discharge
- You have pain during sexual intercourse
- You have questions about getting pregnant or menopause
There are many other issues involving your sexuality, pelvic organ health, and reproductive status that a gynecologist can help with. If you have concerns that involve your female organs or need preventive care, contact Poplar Avenue Clinic for an appointment.

Some of the procedures they perform using minimally invasive techniques include:
