Women’s health is an area of medicine that specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing health conditions unique to women. A knowledgable women’s health provider should not only be working with acute or chronic concerns, but also working on prevention of chronic disease most impacting women. This includes osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers and metabolic disease.

Reproductive health  plays a significant role in physical and emotional well-being. Our providers specialize in treating ovarian dysfunction such as PCOS, lengthened or absent menstrual cycle, ovarian cysts, structural concerns such as endometriosis, fibroids, cervical dysplasia (abnormal pap smear, HPV), painful periods and pelvic pain. Many other concerns can be addressed including hormone balancing, hormone replacement therapy, preconception care and support for postpartum women. 

Because Aspen Integrative Medical Center is an integrative medicine practice that takes a holistic approach to care, our physicians focus on all the factors that affect your condition when it comes to women’s health and wellness.
