Minerva® and NovaSure® are minimally invasive endometrial ablation procedures designed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding without the use of hormones or the need for a hysterectomy. These treatments work by removing the uterine lining, which is responsible for menstrual bleeding, using controlled radio frequency energy.

The procedure is performed through the cervix without any incisions and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. Most women are able to return to their normal activities within a day, although mild cramping or discomfort may occur for a short time after treatment.

Endometrial ablation is often a good option for women who have completed childbearing and are seeking relief from heavy periods. Your provider can help determine whether Minerva® or NovaSure® is the right treatment for your individual needs.

A colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows your provider to closely examine the cervix for abnormal cells or tissue changes. It is commonly recommended following an abnormal Pap smear, a positive HPV test, or symptoms such as bleeding after intercourse. Using a special light and magnifying instrument called a colposcope, your provider can identify areas that may require further evaluation.

During the procedure, a speculum is placed in the vagina, similar to a routine pelvic exam, and the cervix is gently cleansed with a solution that helps highlight abnormal tissue. If necessary, small tissue samples may be collected and sent for laboratory testing to help determine whether additional treatment is needed.

Most women tolerate a colposcopy well, experiencing only mild discomfort or brief cramping. This important screening tool helps detect cervical abnormalities early, allowing for timely treatment and improved long-term health outcomes.

At Conway Women's Health Center, we offer several highly effective intrauterine device (IUD) options, including Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena, Paragard, and Liletta. IUDs are a long-acting, reversible form of birth control that provide continuous pregnancy prevention for several years, depending on the device selected. More than 99% effective, IUDs offer a convenient, low-maintenance contraceptive option and can be removed at any time if you decide to grow your family. Hormonal IUDs release a small amount of hormone locally within the uterus, while Paragard provides hormone-free contraception.

IUD insertion is a quick in-office procedure typically performed during the first week of your menstrual cycle. During your appointment, your provider will carefully place the IUD into the uterus using a small, flexible inserter. The device is positioned within the uterus, and two small strings are left extending through the cervix to help confirm placement and allow for easy removal in the future. The entire procedure generally takes only a few minutes.

Some women experience mild cramping, discomfort, dizziness, or light bleeding during or shortly after insertion. These symptoms are common and usually resolve quickly. Your provider will discuss the benefits, risks, and expectations of each IUD option to help determine which method is the best fit for your individual needs and lifestyle.

Prolia® is a prescription treatment used to help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture or who cannot take other osteoporosis medications. Administered as an injection every six months, Prolia® works by slowing bone loss and increasing bone strength, helping protect against osteoporosis-related fractures.

Prolia® may be a good option for women who have experienced a fracture, have multiple risk factors for osteoporosis, or have not responded well to other treatments. Your provider will determine if Prolia® is right for you based on your medical history and bone health needs. Patients receiving Prolia® should take calcium and vitamin D as directed by their healthcare provider to support healthy bone development and treatment effectiveness.

Cryotherapy is a simple and effective treatment used to destroy abnormal cells on the cervix by freezing them. This procedure is often recommended when cervical cell changes are detected through a Pap smear or biopsy. By eliminating abnormal tissue, cryotherapy can help prevent cervical abnormalities from progressing and support long-term cervical health. The procedure is typically performed in the office and requires little to no recovery time, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities shortly afterward.

Nexplanon® is a long-acting birth control implant that helps prevent pregnancy for up to three years. The implant is a small, flexible rod, about the size of a matchstick, that is placed just beneath the skin of the inner upper arm. It releases a low, steady dose of the hormone etonogestrel to provide highly effective, reversible contraception without the need for daily pills.

Nexplanon is discreet and designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Once inserted, it provides continuous pregnancy prevention and can be removed at any time by your healthcare provider if you decide to become pregnant or choose a different birth control method. Our providers can help determine whether Nexplanon is the right option for your individual needs and family planning goals.

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) testing is a simple, non-invasive screening used to evaluate bone health and detect osteoporosis or bone loss before fractures occur. By measuring bone strength and density, BMD testing helps identify women who may be at an increased risk for osteoporosis-related complications.

Screening is generally recommended for women age 65 and older, as well as younger postmenopausal women who have risk factors for osteoporosis. At Conway Women's Health Center, BMD testing is performed conveniently in our office, allowing our providers to assess your bone health and create a personalized plan to help keep your bones strong and healthy.

*BMD test will be scheduled at Conway Regional.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a fertility treatment that may help increase the chances of pregnancy. After an evaluation, your provider will determine if you are a candidate for IUI and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. The process may include fertility medications to stimulate ovulation and ultrasound monitoring to track follicle development. Once the timing is right, the insemination procedure is performed in our clinic. Our team will guide you through each step of the process and provide personalized care throughout your fertility journey.

Reclast® is a once-yearly infusion treatment used to help prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at risk for fractures. Unlike oral osteoporosis medications, Reclast is administered through an IV, allowing it to bypass the digestive system and avoid many of the stomach-related side effects associated with pills. With just one treatment each year, Reclast works to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures. At Conway Women's Health Center, Reclast infusions can be conveniently administered in our office after your provider determines it is the right treatment option for you.
