Gynecology literally means “the science of women,” but in medicine this is the specialty of diseases of the female reproductive system (uterus, vagina and ovaries).
At Sebasticook Valley Health, our gynecology team sees and treat patients with cancer of the reproductive organs (including ovaries, tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva), incontinence, amenorrhoea (absent periods), dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), infertility, menorrhagia (heavy periods), and many other conditions. Our team also performs well-woman physicals and can perform various surgical procedures like hysterectomies and prolapse of pelvic organs.
