Some Common Reasons for Seeking Care

Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum

What you need to know as you head into your pregnancy and birth — from who to see and when, to the basics of what you can expect from your care at each phase.

Abnormal Bleeding

Periods can be unpredictable, very heavy, very long (or very short) or sometimes excessively painful. Learn more here about what normal looks like for most people and what to do when your period isn’t.

Perimenopause, Menopause and Beyond

Learn more about possible symptoms you could experience in the years leading up to and through menopause–and what you can do to manage them if they’re disrupting your life.

Urinary Leakage

You may or may not be able to point to the pelvic floor on a diagram, but it can be the source of a number of pesky or downright disruptive issues, such as leaking urine, inability to control your bowels and painful sex. Learn more about pelvic floor dysfunction and how we can help.

Ways We Care

Obstetrics The team that guides you through your pregnancy is one you’ll remember for a long time (at least once the sleep deprivation wears off). Let us help you find the perfect care partner for each trimester, test and twinge.

Gynecology Gynecology can mean different things at different times of your life. From contraception to cancer screening, first periods to I-can't-believe-that-happened and everything in between, the physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives at WHA are here to help.

Nurse-Midwifery WHA’s certified nurse-midwives can help you throughout your life with contraception and family planning, pregnancy and childbirth, gynecology and wellness care and the transition to menopause. Basically, they’re here for you, in every way, at any time.

Wellness Care At WHA, wellness care basically means everything we do to help you maintain or achieve the health you want—to lead your life, on your terms. We’re happy to share our ideas about what healthy means, but ultimately that's up to you and we’re here to help you achieve it.

Behavioral & Mental Health The physical, social and emotional changes that go along with pregnancy can sometimes lead to or worsen mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. WHA’s team of licensed mental health providers are part of YOUR team if you need them.

High-risk Obstetrics Every pregnancy is unique and has its own share of worries and nervous anticipation. When complications arise, the maternal-fetal medicine specialists of Northwest Perinatal Center are here to provide additional expertise, care and support.

Ultrasound While it may seem like the most exciting part of getting an ultrasound is getting to see your baby, the really cool thing is that they give your medical team a safe, powerful way to monitor the health of your pregnancy—or sometimes find answers to reproductive health concerns outside of pregnancy.

Genetic Screening & Counseling Whether you’re pregnant now or thinking about it down the road, the personal decision to have genetic screening and/or carrier testing can be overwhelming and emotional. Let our team of genetic counselors help you understand how it all works so you can make the right decision for you.

Urogynecology Our bodies are amazing, strong and beautiful. But simple? Not so much. This special subset of gynecology focuses on helping people with pelvic floor problems, such as urinary or fecal incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

Mammography Did you know that sometimes it’s all right to actually put yourself and your needs first? In fact, in this case, it’s ‘doctor’s orders.’ While breast cancer is a frightening possibility for many—modern technology has given us a powerful tool for early detection. So put down whatever you’re helping someone else with at the moment and make time for proper screenings.

Office Surgery Any kind of surgery can be scary, but when it’s something as personal as gynecological surgery, you deserve to know that your care is in the right hands—and the right place. For some procedures and patients, office surgery can be a more comfortable and cost-effective experience than a hospital surgery.
