Obstetrics
Endometriosis
Used correctly, the patch is as effective as birth control pills are in preventing pregnancy. The patch is a form of birth control that a patient wears on the skin and looks like a small bandaid. The hormones it contains (estrogen and progestin) are similar to those used in birth control pills but are absorbed through the skin. The patch works by suppressing the pituitary gland which, in turn, prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. It also thickens cervical mucus making it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg. Since the patch contains a dosage which is 60% higher than that delivered by the pills, there is the risk of side effects such as blood clots. Because of this, it is essential that patients using the patch do not smoke. The patch can also be used to treat irregular periods, menstrual cramps, or endometriosis.
Pelvic Pain
Generally, pelvic pain is described to either be a dull yet constant pain, or a sudden, sharp pain. If the pain is consistently present over a long period of time, it is classified as chronic pelvic pain. If the opposite is true, then the patient is likely to suffer from acute pelvic pain.
Pregnancy
The term “high-risk pregnancy” refers to a pregnancy that has an increased potential for complications that could affect the mother and/or baby. A normal, healthy delivery is entirely possible despite a high-risk pregnancy, but it requires special monitoring and attention.
Labor and Delivery
Anesthesia is routinely used to help relieve pain during a medical procedure, which often includes common occurrences like childbirth. Many individuals are familiar with epidurals and their primary use of reducing pain during the birthing process, but there are also a few other options available for expectant patients of Women’s Care of Alaska.

Kidney Stones
Cervical Cancer
A Pap smear or Pap test is a routine procedure used to screen women for cervical cancer.

Our board-certified gynecologist are dedicated to ensuring that you are comfortable throughout the procedure and are available to answer any questions you may have following the procedure.

Laparoscopy
