Our ServicesWomen’s Health Services
OB/GYN inpatient servicesOur OB/GYN department provides 24-hour services for the provision of care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, post partum and neonatal periods. These services are provided by credentialed OB/GYN and pediatric physicians, and qualified RNs and LPNs with specialized obstetrical and newborn care competencies. Patients are cared for with the following procedures/diagnoses:
BAMC offers five fully equipped labor and delivery suites, complete with rocking chairs, oak cabinets and various accessories that are reminiscent of home for a memorable birthing experience. Breast Cancer Center/MammographyThe women’s center offers mammography screening to assist in the detection of breast cancer. Mammograms have the ability to detect a tumor before it is big enough for you or your doctor to detect. The mammography center provides same-day results to take the stress out of waiting. Mammograms are recommended for women over 40 every one or two years. A mammogram only takes a few seconds, but the results can be lifesaving. IncontinenceThe women’s center offers several programs to assist women with incontinence. Incontinence is loss of bladder control, which can range from a mild leak to uncontrollable wetting. Most bladder problems develop when the muscles are too weak or when they are over-active. Incontinence can occur when sneezing, coughing, laughing or lifting an object. Incontinence can also be a symptom of nerve damage. Urodynamic TestingUrodynamic testing is a study to see how the bladder is performing. Conclusions from the test can indicate if the bladder and urethra are releasing urine correctly and effectively storing urine. Physical TherapyPhysical therapy is a series of exercises prescribed by a incontinence specialist used to strengthen the bladder sphincter muscle. Bay Area Medical Center provides two physical therapy specialists for further assistance. Uterine Suspension ProceduresUterine suspension is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure performed to strengthen the uterus. Bay Area Medical Center provides two doctors who perform uterine suspension procedures. OsteoporosisThe women’s center offers osteoporosis screenings. During youth, new bone mass is added and old bone mass is removed. As people age, the amount of new bone mass addition decreases and the amount of old bone mass increases causing bones to become weak and fragile. Women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis than men. Having regular screenings can help prevent osteoporosis and reduce bone loss. Womens’ Heart HealthThe Cardiac Center at Bay Area Medical Center educates women about the importance of reducing and controlling cardiac risk factors. Women are offered a variety of opportunities to assess cardiac risk factors and are given support to improve their diet, reduce stress, and change their lifestyle to improve their overall health. Regular screenings, educational programs, workshops and consultative services are available. Contact informationBay Area Medical Center |
