NovaSure® is a one-time, quick and safe procedure designed for premenopausal women who are done with childbearing. It offers an effective solution to lighten or eliminate heavy menstrual periods. For women experiencing very heavy cycles, an endometrial ablation, which removes the endometrium, is often necessary. With NovaSure®, you no longer need to let heavy periods disrupt your life.

Menopause is a natural and gradual phase in a woman’s life marked by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. During this transition, women move out of their reproductive years, and menstrual cycles become irregular before eventually stopping. Menopause symptoms, caused by fluctuating hormone levels, can vary in severity from one woman to another.

Incontinence, the unintentional loss of urine, can result from factors like aging, childbirth, surgery or other health conditions.

At Women’s Health of Central Virginia, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional healthcare. As part of this commitment, we proudly offer advanced diagnostic ultrasounds for obstetrics and gynecology. Using high-frequency sound waves, ultrasound creates detailed images of pelvic organs or a baby during pregnancy. This non-invasive test is both safe and painless.

The providers at Women’s Health of Central Virginia in Lynchburg specialize in minimally invasive gynecological surgeries to address common, often benign conditions of the reproductive system. These advanced techniques are associated with less pain, shorter recovery times, smaller scars, lower infection risks and faster healing. Minimally invasive procedures include approaches such as hysteroscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and the da Vinci® robotic surgery system.

The da Vinci® surgical system enhances laparoscopic surgery by providing highly magnified 3D views of the surgical area and utilizing smaller instruments with an improved range of motion, allowing for greater accuracy and precision. The da Vinci® system offers several advantages, including greater surgical precision, an increased range of motion, better access to hard-to-reach areas and an improved ability to preserve healthy tissue.

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus, often performed using modern, minimally invasive techniques. It can be done through various approaches, including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic methods, or with the assistance of the Da Vinci® surgical system. Based on your symptoms and diagnosis, your doctor will help you determine which procedure is best for you.

A colposcopy is a procedure performed by your gynecological specialist to closely examine the cervical cells using a magnification device called a colposcope. It is typically recommended after abnormal Pap test results. This procedure enables your doctor to thoroughly inspect the tissues of the cervix and vagina to identify issues that might not be visible to the naked eye.
