Vulvar dermatitis can include: follicultis, contact dermatitis, vulvar atrophy, lichen sclerosus, Bartholin gland cysts, and more.
If you are experiencing persistent redness and itching on or around your vulva, we can help you determine the cause and find a treatment that will work for you. Vulvar atrophy is a condition associated with menopause. As your hormone levels change, so do the cells in your genitals, often resulting in dry or brittle vaginal tissue. Our providers are able to work with you to treat this effectively.

- What are our options for conceiving?
- Should we consider IVF infertility treatment?
- How expensive is IVF infertility treatment?
And many others questions. We help our reproductive health patients navigate the emotional rollercoaster of fertility struggles. We offer expertise in ovulation induction, fertility testing and evaluation, and, when necessary, surgical interventions including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, laparotomy, and tubal cannulation.

A normal menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days and can last from 2 to 7 days, and can sometimes be somewhat irregular without being considered a serious problem. Menstrual irregularities involving absent menstrual periods, painful menstruation, or severe premenstrual symptoms can be caused by a number of things, including:
- PCOS
- Breastfeeding and pregnancy
- Eating disorders
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Uterine fibroids
- Premature ovarian failure
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed, make an appointment so we can help to diagnose and treat the problem.
If ovaries are damaged or stop functioning normally it can result in an insufficiency of estrogen or progesterone, both of which are required for a number of beneficial effects to the function of the body. These hormones naturally decrease during menopause, but if the loss occurs early it can also cause infertility and other health problems.
PCOS also falls under the umbrella of reproductive endocrinology dysfunction. If you are concerned about this, we can help counsel you on the best way to move forward, providing possible treatment options.

Your vagina normally has a healthy amount of bacteria in it, but sometimes the balance of good bacteria and harmful bacteria can be upset, causing an infection. If these infections persist or keep coming back, we can help determine what might be causing the infections and develop a treatment plan that will work.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that mostly affects women of reproductive age. PCOS may cause one’s ovaries to develop small collections of fluid and fail to regularly release eggs, which can affect fertility.
A short list of PCOS symptoms includes: irregular or absent menstrual periods, infertility, acne, facial hair, and balding.
If you are experiencing symptoms of PCOS, reach out to us and we can develop a plan to mitigate the effects of PCOS.
