Gynecological care/preventative exams

 We offer a diverse range of services including and not limited          to diagnosis and treatment of gynecological problems, annual        gynecological exams/screens, in office procedures and                    menopausal concerns.

Procedures       

LPW offers in-office procedures for your convenience.  An            

in-office procedure takes less than a day and requires little            

(if any) anesthesia.

Procedures that require hospitalization are performed                     primarily  at Lancaster Women and Babies Hospital. 

If required, some surgeries may be performed at                                Lancaster General Hospital.

 LPW is able to offer our patients ages 9 to 26 the new                      Gardasil vaccine.  This vaccine has been recommended by              the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology                          because it will protect against certain strains of the                          Human Papillomavirus.  These strains of the virus are                      responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer and 90 percent            of genital warts.

 The vaccine requires 3 doses given over a 6 month period to           be effective.

 Please verify with your insurance company that the vaccine    

 is  a covered service.   

 Preconceptual and Family Planning Counseling 

 When you begin thinking of starting a family we are here to            prepare you for this important decision in your life. LPW                stresses that the best thing you can do for your baby is to                prepare ahead. A healthy baby begins well before you get                pregnant and relies on you making healthy choices now. We          will help you with those healthy choices before you get                    pregnant.

Infertility

 There may be various reasons why you and your significant            other may not be able to conceive.  LPW is sensitive to                    this issue and will work with you in discovering the cause of          your infertility and strive to work with you to provide the                answers for your need.

Perimenopause and Menopausal Care

 LPW deals with all seasons of life and we want to help you            deal with the challenges of Perimenopause and Menopause.          Your health and wellness as your body goes through its                    midlife changes is very important to us.   

Osteoporosis

 Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become thin,          brittle, and weak. These changes can raise the risk of fractures.      Fractures can lead to disability. LPW strives to identify                    patients at risk of fracture and to treat those with                              Osteoporosis.  For more information regarding Osteoporosis          go to International Osteoporosis Foundation.

Teenage care

We consider a young woman's overall health an important             matter.  Although adolescents and young women don't                     need their first Pap test until age 21, The American College          

of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends               adolescent girls have their first visit with an ob-gyn between           the ages of 13 and 15.  Your teen’s initial appointment can            

be intimidating, but we encourage any family to consider                 scheduling this initial visit at the family's discretion. LPW is           also pleased to assist you when it is time to have a                             conversation about sexual development.
