Women’s Health Conditions We Treat

You can trust Methodist Midlothian to provide care that meets your individual needs. Our team diagnoses and treats many conditions and disorders affecting women’s health, including:

• Gynecologic cancer
• Ovarian cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovary

• Vaginal vault prolapse, which causes the vagina to drop down from its normal position
• Uterine fibroids, growths in the uterus that are usually benign (noncancerous)

Women’s Health Services and Treatments We Offer

We specialize in gynecologic cancer screenings and treatments for a range of conditions. We also offer tailored preventive care and work with you to manage your health. Our services include:

Advanced diagnostic imaging technology

At Methodist Midlothian, we know that an accurate diagnosis allows us to develop the most effective treatment plan for you. We work as a team to offer routine screenings to help detect health concerns early, when they’re easier to treat. To diagnose women’s health conditions, we use advanced technology, including:

• 3D mammogram
• Breast ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create images of the tissues inside the breast
• Galactogram, a type of mammogram that uses a contrast dye to evaluate the milk ducts
• Fine-needle aspiration, a procedure that removes fluid from abnormal breast tissue that a lab tests for signs of cancer
• Ultrasound-guided biopsy, a test that uses ultrasound technology to remove a sample of abnormal breast tissue
• 3D stereotactic-guided biopsy, which uses mammography to remove abnormal tissue so a lab can check for cancerous cells
• Bone density exams

Robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery

The skilled team of gynecological surgeons at Methodist Midlothian performs minimally invasive procedures to treat uterine fibroids, vaginal prolapse, and gynecologic cancer. We have advanced training in robotic-assisted surgery techniques using the da Vinci® Robotic Surgery System.

During robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, surgeons use a robot to control tiny surgical instruments. This technology allows us to make procedures more precise while reducing the risk of complications. Minimally invasive techniques require smaller incisions and lead to less recovery time than traditional (open) surgery. Our robotic-assisted surgeries include:

• Hysterectomy (uterus removal)
• Myomectomy (to treat uterine fibroids)
• Oophorectomy (ovary removal)
• Sacrocolpopexy (to treat vaginal vault prolapse)

Bringing mammograms to women in the community

Through our mobile mammography program, we make routine breast cancer screenings as convenient as possible. Radiologists from Methodist Midlothian visit churches, schools, businesses, and community centers to provide mammograms to women in our community. Our goal is to encourage more women to get these imaging tests.

Personalized care for women with a higher risk of breast cancer

We are passionate about helping women understand their unique risk for breast cancer so we can work together to determine the most appropriate care path. That’s why we offer risk evaluations and customized services for women with an increased chance of developing breast cancer.

• Education about breast health
