The average age for menopause is around 51 years of age. Menopause is defined as not having your menses for over one year. Symptoms of menopause can include irregular menses, hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. At Pittsburgh Fertility, we can help you to navigate the process of menopause with lifestyle changes and medication options.

If your menses are heavy or you have irregular cycles, that is defined as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB). We can assist you in determining the cause of AUB and discuss treatment options.

Many people have leiomyomas, also known as fibroids. These are generally benign uterine masses that can lead to pelvic pain, pressure, painful sex, heavy or irregular menses. At Pittsburgh Fertility, we can help you to navigate diagnosing and treating fibroids with many options.

Polyps in your cervix or uterus are common. They can cause irregular bleeding or bleeding after sex. At Pittsburgh Fertility, we can help you navigate diagnosing and treating these polyps with many options.

For most people, we start offering screening for cervical cancer at age 21 years. Pap smears are recommended every 3 to 5 years if they are normal. If you have an abnormal pap smear, we can provide you with testing for your abnormal pap smears and treatment.

At Pittsburgh Fertility, we offer several types of contraception methods including the implant and the intrauterine device (IUD). We offer hormonal and non-hormonal IUDs. For most people, getting an IUD or implant is very simple, as well as removal. If you have an IUD that is difficult for your provider to remove or to place, we are able to assist you with difficult placement and difficult removals with a variety of techniques including ultrasound guidance or hysteroscopy.

Many people experience pelvic pain. There are many things that can lead to pelvic pain, such as endometriosis or vaginismus (involuntary pelvic muscle spasm). At Pittsburgh Fertility, we can assist you to determine what may be causing your pain and then with treatment options.

Sex whichever way you do it should be pleasurable. If you have any issues with sex including painful sex, dryness, or decreased pleasure, our providers at Pittsburgh Fertility can help you to navigate any issues you would like to address.
