What is gynecology?

Gynecology is the medical specialty that cares for issues affecting women's reproductive systems. Gynecology specialists also diagnose and treat related functions, such incontinence and urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Gynecologists typically study both women's health and obstetrics – the care of women during pregnancy and birth.

What other services do gynecologists provide?

Some of the key gynecology services available at Bayard Street Obstetrics & Gynecology include:

Well woman exams

An annual well woman exam is a routine review of your health to make sure you're in great shape and monitor the changes that take place as you age. It's also an invaluable way of picking up the early signs of conditions such as cervical and breast cancer, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and osteoporosis.

Family planning

Bayard Street Obstetrics & Gynecology offers all currently available reversible contraceptive options. These include birth control pills, the NuvaRing® vaginal contraceptive ring, NEXPLANON® implants, IUDs (intrauterine devices), and Depo-Provera® contraceptive injections. The team at Bayard Street Obstetrics & Gynecology also performs laparoscopic and postpartum female sterilization.

Pap smears

Pap smears are swabs of your cervical cells used to identify changes that could lead to cervical cancer. They also detect human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the primary cause of cervical cancer.

If your Pap smear is abnormal, your provider can conduct further investigations in-office such as a colposcopy procedure to determine why. They then can treat problems with the cervix using techniques like loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP).

Do gynecologists perform surgery?

If you need surgery for your gynecological condition, the experienced surgeons at Bayard Street Obstetrics & Gynecology perform advanced procedures at New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital.
