Gynecology

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is a medical specialty with an emphasis on the female reproductive system. The team at Corpus Christi Women’s Clinic includes board-certified gynecologists as well as advanced nurse practitioners with extensive knowledge of gynecological functioning and care. 

The team at Corpus Christi Women’s Clinic provides both routine, preventive gynecological care and treatments for gynecological conditions. They teach you about your body, and how it works, so you have a better understanding of your own sexual and reproductive health from puberty to menopause and beyond.

Which gynecology services can I get?

Corpus Christi Women’s Clinic offers a comprehensive list of gynecological diagnostic services as well as surgical and nonsurgical treatments. 

One of the most important gynecological services is your annual preventive women’s visit, which includes a general physical exam, pelvic exam, and basic breast exam. This visit also includes a Pap smear, which is a screening test for cervical cancer.

In addition to or during your annual visit, Corpus Christi Women’s Clinic offers:

• Contraception management

If you need further treatment, they explain your options in detail so you can make a well-informed decision. They also provide follow-up visits and ongoing management for chronic conditions that require medications or surgery.
