GYNECOLOGY

Dr. Gex perfoms most Gynecologic surgeries, including Pelvic and Reconstructive surgery.

Pelvic and Reconstructive Surgery - Many women experience a loss of support in the pelvic muscles, resulting in prolapse of the pelvic organs, often leading to incontinence of urine. In case of major Reconstructive Surgery, consultation with another more specialized surgeon may be necessary. Other pelvic surgeries offered include Hysterectomy, Hysteroscopy, Novasure, treatment of Endometriosis and ovarian cysts.

Laser Surgery - Laser surgery at Gex Women’s Care is restricted to removal of precancerous lesions on the vulva, vagina or cervix. These surgeries are usually performed at Outpatient Surgery Centers.

Laparascopic Surgery - Dr. Gex performs most laparoscopic surgeries, including laparoscopic hysterectomy. Laparoscopic surgery is performed through a series of small incisions on the abdomen, through which instruments and a video camera are inserted to accomplish the surgery.

STD Screening - Comprehensive sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening is perfomed at Gex Women's Care. The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine-Gardasil, is provided at our office. See more about this vaccine in the Cancer segment, and in the Educational Resources under "Quick Links" on the Home Page.

Infertility - The infertile couple requires counseling and commitment by both the couple and the physician. The Infertility work-up and initial treatment can take several months to complete. If Advanced Reproductive Technology is needed, Dr. Gex will refer you to a Reproductive/Endocrinologist for advanced diagnosis and treatment.

Annual Exams - At Gex Women’s Care, we believe a woman should see a gynecologist once a year for Preventative Care. Dr. Gex follows ACOG Primary Care Screening Guidelines for all age groups.

Family Planning - Most methods of contraception will be provided. Dr. Gex is currently offering and is certified to perform Essure - Hysteroscopic Sterilization. Read more about this procedure in the Minimally Invasive Office Procedures section in "Our Specialties". 
Dr. Gex does not do abortions, and does not prescribe Ru-486, or the Morning After Pill.

Treatment of Endometriosis - Dr. Gex will try to treat endometriosis medically with Lupron injections and oral contraceptives, before offerring surgical therapy.
