Gynecology

Palmetto Women's Health offers a wide array of essential gynecological services including:

Annual Exams
An annual gynecological exam is an important part of your overall health and maintenance. A pap smear exam is vital throughout all phases of a mature female person’s life. The focus of your exam changes as you get older, as well as the frequency. 
 
Contraception Prescription and Administration
Birth control, also known as contraception, is designed to prevent pregnancy, but can also treat other symptoms such as PMS or acne. There are dozens of birth control methods and we are dedicated to making sure we find the one that fits your lifestyle and body. 
 
PMS Treatment
PMS is a collection of physical and mental symptoms that may affect people during or close to their menstrual cycles. These symptoms, brought on by fluctuations in bodily hormones, range from mildly uncomfortable to extremely painful. Monitoring and treating PMS symptoms are both important parts of staying healthy and happy. 
 
STI Testing and Treatment
Nobody wants to think about it, let alone say it out loud, but it happens. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are passed from one person to another during sexual contact. STIs can have serious long-term consequences, so frequent testing and quick treatment are paramount. 
 
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, heavy bleeding, acne, difficulty becoming pregnant, obesity, or excess hair on the face and body (AKA hirsutism). A lot of women with PCOS go undiagnosed, unknowing that there’s a solution just around the corner. Please schedule an appointment if you have any of these symptoms. 
 
Endometriosis Treatment
Endometriosis is when endometrial tissue, or the tissue that makes up the lining of the uterus, grows in other areas of the pelvis. It can cause heavy bleeding, intense pain, and a host of other symptoms that might be life-disrupting. Thankfully, it is easy to diagnose and treat.  
 
Fibroid Treatment
Uterine fibroids, or leiomyoma, are growths on the uterine lining or muscle that can cause abnormal bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pain, or infertility. When dealing with fibroids, a trip to the doctor is a necessity. Don’t let fibroids upend your daily activity. We can help you treat or surgically remove them if needed. 
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Easy, painless, and life-changing, our two vaginal rejuvenation laser systems are revolutionary in their ability to relieve our patients of some of their most sensitive and seemingly hopeless ailments. From vaginal dryness, laxity, urinary incontinence, physical changes, or more adverse effects of aging or childbirth, the MonaLisa Touch and Votiva lasers are here to help you feel like yourself again. 
 
Menopause Management
Menopause, though sometimes uncomfortable, generally requires no medical treatment. Instead, treatments focus on relieving your symptoms and preventing or managing chronic conditions that may occur with aging. One option for this is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy which Dr. Frankel is incredibly knowledgeable about. In her hands, menopause can be an exciting new stage of life. 
 
Hormone Therapy
When going through menopause many people find themselves plagued by hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness, irritability, mood swings, and other symptoms. We can help. This is one of Dr. Frankel’s favorite areas to treat because she has seen it make such a massive change in her patients’ lives.
 
Osteoporosis Treatment
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses like bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. 
 
Pelvic Ultrasounds
Ultrasounds, also called sonograms, are exams that use sound waves to create images of internal organs. Ultrasounds are used to monitor pregnancies and ovarian cysts. Our ultrasound technician is in the office every Wednesday!
 
Gynecological Surgery
Dr. Frankel specializes in evaluating and treating women who have a wide range of noncancerous (benign) gynecologic conditions, including heavy menstrual periods (menorrhagia), irregular menstrual periods (metrorrhagia), pelvic pain, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts.
