Overview

Wayne Health's approach to treatment

We respect a woman’s right to become pregnant when she is ready to have a child and work with our patients to find the short or long-term contraception method that best meets their needs.

For women experiencing difficult menstrual periods with pain, heavy bleeding and pressure, Wayne Health specialists evaluate the cause and develop a plan for relieving their symptoms. This plan can include nonsurgical options or minimally invasive surgery performed by Wayne Health gynecological surgeons trained in the latest surgical techniques.
