Are You Planning a Family?

We can help you make informed decisions about getting pregnant, preparing for a healthy pregnancy and birth control

family planningPlanning for a family can be stressful. You may have many questions: Do we want children? How many children? When is the right time? How do I know it’s the right time?

Q: I have very painful periods. Could it be more than menstrual cramps?
A: While pain during menstruation could indicate several conditions, the most common gynecologic cause is endometriosis. This condition occurs when functioning endometrial cells, normally found within the uterus, back up into the pelvis.
