OB/GYN & Women's Health

Our women’s reproductive system health services go beyond the childbearing stages.  The most common gynecologic services, such as annual well-woman exams, menstrual cycle management, pap smears and clinical breast exams are provided but so are specific services such as peri-menopause care, menopause counseling and hormone therapy, pelvic floor disorders and more.  If required, gynecological surgical interventions, such as dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, ablations and hysterectomy, are provided in our Surgery Center.  Some procedures can be provided robotically.

Women’s health is more than just care from an obstetrician or a gynecologist. We provide comprehensive, compassionate care to women of all ages so you can stay healthy and active as you move from one decade to the next.  Whether you’re a teenager or a grandmother, we are here to help you.

Mammograms

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to detect breast cancer.  Women 40 and older should have mammograms every 1 or 2 years. Women who are younger than 40 and have risk factors for breast cancer should ask their provider whether mammograms are advisable and how often to have them.

We proudly offer 3D Mammogramphy exams, which provide more detailed views, offer enhanced comfort and require less radiation. This technology allows for greater accuracy, better detection and a reduced need for additional screenings.  Occasionally additional breast images such as ultrasound or MRI imaging may be requested or required and can also be provided at Mercer Health.

For more information or to schedule a mammogram, contact us at 419-678-5111.  Note: A provider order is required for mammograms.

Additional Women's Imaging

Medical imaging is often used for other women’s health services and concerns including bone density screenings, prenatal ultrasounds, diagnostic ultrasounds and MRIs for concerns such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, etc.

Healthy Weight and Wellness

A healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and a balanced diet are vital to overall health.  Many women find the services at our Center for Healthy Weight and Wellness beneficial to optimizing their health and feeling their best.
